Waypoint Proximity Alerts

Waypoints can have a proximity alert set. When your GPS position enters this zone certain actions can be performed.

Demonstration 1 - Setting the proximity for a single waypoint.

The proximity zone can be changed for individual waypoints using the option on the Waypoint Properties dialog. The "wp_alert.wav" file is played when the proximity is entered and the waypoint is changed to an alert symbol on screen until the proximity is left.

Use the arrow buttons on the bottom toolbar to move to a map screen. If there is no map loaded, on the bottom toolbar there is a symbol of an open folder Open Map press this button.

 

Proximity Alerts (for all waypoints in a waypoint set)

Proximity Alerts can be added to waypoint sets using the Alert button on the waypoint set list. The alert distance can be selected. An alert sound is made when the proximity is entered.  An alert symbol will be displayed.  If a symbol is found with the same file name as the waypoint file name (eg "speed_cameras.wpt" and "speed_cameras.bmp"), this symbol will be used in place of the default alert symbol.
