Guard zones
A guard zone is a ‘protected’ area around your vessel: as soon as an object (like
another vessel) enters the zone, it triggers an alarm on your Nav Station. Guard
zones are managed from the Monitor in Zones toolbar.
Guard zones can be either circular- or sector-guards, and you can define up to two
of them on your system.
