Proximity alerts and speed alerts
Posted: Sat Dec 11, 2021 6:53 pm
Hi.
Etrex 32x with firmware 2.70.
Noted two issues with the unit.
1.
Loading points of interest with speed alerts using a pre-compiled gpi or usinf POI loader seems to add the points, show them on the map, but never trigger the alarm. The very same file works on devices such as GPSMAP 66s/st.
2.
Creating a proximity alert from the menu -> Proximity Alarms -> Create alarm.
Select some point to use, then enter the radius. The message text says: Enter Radius in miles, even though the unit is set up to use metric standard.
Either it is only the text that is incorrect but the input is in kilometers, or both are incorrect.
