ARRIVAL AND ANCHOR WATCH ALARMS
Arrival Alarm
The arrival alarm alerts you when your vessel is approaching
a destination Waypoint. The area that defines the arrival zone
is a circle surrounding the destination Waypoint. The alarm is
triggered when your vessel enters the circle.

navigation screen.
When your vessel approaches a destination Waypoint at the
range set here the buzzer sounds and the message ARV
ALARM! is displayed.
Anchor Watch Alarm
The Anchor Watch alarm warns you that your anchored vessel is
moving excessively when it should be at rest. It works similarly
to the arrival alarm except that it alerts you when your vessel
leaves a circle rather than enters it. When setting the alarm
you should allow for the possible distance your vessel may
legitimately drift while at anchor. The alarm distance should
be set to warn if the anchor is dragging and your position is
moving excessively.

navigation screen.
When your vessel drifts beyond the range set here the buzzer
sounds and the message ANC ALARM! is displayed.
