If a proximity alarm circle overlaps with an
existing alarm circle, a ‘proximity overlap’
warning will be displayed. As long as the over-
lap exists, the overlap warning will be dis-
played each time the GPSMAP is turned on.
If you enter an alarm circle overlap, the
GPSMAP will only inform you of the closest
proximity waypoint.
