7.1 Kinds of alarms
There are four kinds of alarms, anchor watch (
ANCW
), proximity (
PROX
), cross track error (XTE) and
course deviation angle.

An anchor watch alarm can alert you if your boat drifts a set distance from where it is activated. This
alarm function will not work if the alarm range is set to "0.00".

7.1.2 Proximity alarm (PROX)
A proximity alarm alerts you when you arrive to within a preset distance to a waypoint.
