ALARMS
This unit has several GPS alarms. (Sonar alarms for the Status are cov-
ered in the sonar section of this manual.) You can set an arrival alarm to
flash a warning message and sound a tone when you cross a preset
distance from a waypoint. For example, if you have the arrival alarm set to
.1 mile, then the alarm will flash a message when you come within .1 mile
of the recalled waypoint. The course deviation indicator alarm (CDI) warns
when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the course line to the
waypoint. For example, if the alarm is set to .1 mile, then the alarm flashes
a message if you drift .1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to
the waypoint. The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside of a
preset radius. Again, using the .1 mile as an example, if you’re anchored
and your boat moves more than .1 of a mile, the alarm will flash a mes-
sage and sound a tone.
