Setting a Proximity Alarm on an eTrex 10, 20(x), 22x, 30(x), or 32x

The Proximity Alarm feature will display a Near Proximity Point message when you are within proximity to a specific location. For example, if you set a proximity alarm for a waypoint with a radius of two miles, the eTrex 10, 20(x), 22x, 30(x), or 32x will display a message once you are two miles from the waypoint.

To set up the proximity alarm on the eTrex:

1. Press the Menu button twice
2. Select Proximity Alarms*
3. Select Create Alarm
4. Select a category to choose a point from or select Use Map to choose a point directly from the map screen
5. Select the specific location
6. Enter the distance from the point at which you want to be alerted
7. Select Done

The device will now display a message when you reach that distance from the location.

*The radius measurement (feet, yards, miles) can be changed before entering the proximity alarm. Please see related content for further instructions.
