Proximity Alarm

Is it true that the Proximity Alarm page was left out?

Currently there is no proximity alarm functionality beyond geocache warnings.

If a GPI-file with pre-compiled point of interests are loaded and that contains proximity alarms, such as for speed cameras, will the alarm trigger when approaching the point?
specification says such files are supported, but did anyone observe if the proximity from those files works?

Have not tested GPI files yet, but have no reason to think they do not work.

FYI, while there are currently no 'Proximity' settings available on the GPSMAP H1/H1i Plus, strangely, our H1 is notifying us about waypoints with proximity warnings loaded in the microSD\Garmin\GPX directory.

Hopefully, additional Proximity functionality will be added soon!
