Proximity Alarm Waypoints - Garmin GPS 95 STD Personal Navigator Owner's Manual

3.6 PROXIMITY ALARM WAYPOINTS

The Proximity Waypoint Page allows you to define an alarm circle around
a waypoint. This feature is useful in defining an area around a TCA (Class
B), MOA, tower, etc. When you approach one of these waypoints the GPS
95 will notify you with an alarm tone and the message, "Prox Alarm -
[waypoint name]," if you enter the alarm circle.
The GPS 95 allows you to define a maximum of nine proximity waypoints.
Scroll through the proximity waypoint list using the arrow keys.
To set a proximity waypoint...
· Select the Proximity Waypoint Page by pressing WPT and the PROX
softkey, if needed.
· Place the cursor on a blank waypoint identifier field using the arrow
keys.
· Enter the identifier of the desired waypoint and press ENT. (NOTE: If
neither the waypoint name nor the location exists in memory, the
Waypoint Definition Page will be displayed. You must then enter the
waypoint location.)
· Enter the proximity alarm distance and press ENT. The proximity
alarm distance defines a radius from the waypoint.
If the newly created proximity alarm circle overlaps with an existing proximity
alarm circle, you will be informed of the overlap with the message "Proximity
Overlap". As long as the overlap remains this message will be displayed
each time the GPS 95 is turned on. (WARNING: If you enter the overlap area
the unit will only inform you of the nearest waypoint.)
