Proximity Alarm Waypoints - Garmin 55 AVD Owner's Manual

Alternatively, the GOTO function may be quickly activated from any page
(e.g. the Nearest Waypoint Page) by placing the cursor under the desired
waypoint name and pressing the GOTO key. The Active Route Page will be
displayed with the cursor under the GOTO waypoint name. The GOTO
function will be activated when the ENT key is pressed.
To cancel the GOTO function...
· Press GOTO.
· Press CLR, the GOTO waypoint name will become blank.
· Press ENT. The GPS 55 will start to navigate using the active route,
if it has been programmed (see Chapter 6). Otherwise, the GPS 55 will
cease the computation of all waypoint navigation data.

3.9 PROXIMITY ALARM WAYPOINTS

Alarm
Number
The Proximity Waypoint Page may be displayed by pressing the WPT key.
It allows you to define an alarm circle around a waypoint (you may define a
maximum of nine proximity waypoints). For instance, you may wish to define
a proximity alarm waypoint around a restricted use airspace such as a MOA
or TCA. If you enter the alarm circle, the GPS 55 will notify you with an alarm
tone and the message "PROX ____" (where the blank will be filled in with the
waypoint name).
The Proximity Waypoint Page displays one proximity waypoint at a time.
Additional waypoints are viewed by pressing the MORE key while the cursor
is under the alarm number.
