Waypoint proximity alarm

When you start an activity, TwoNav activates the waypoint proximity alarm. This is a very useful alarm if you usually mark nearby waypoints in the area you are going to explore, since TwoNav can notify you in advance when you are approaching one of these points of interest (junction, peak, fountain, shelter or populated area...). With this alarm activated, you do not need to worry about anything; you can enjoy your route and TwoNav will notify you when you are close to the points of interest you have highlighted along the route. The alarms will automatically appear in a pop-up window during navigation and, in addition, you will receive an audible alert on your device.

How it works

As soon as you start navigation, the waypoint proximity alarm is activated by default and set to 50 meters. In other words, when you enter within a 50-meter radius of a waypoint, you will receive a notification so you know there is an important point that deserves your attention. This alarm is especially useful when the waypoint is not exactly on the track or when you want to anticipate a relevant point along the route.

To hide the alert, simply tap outside the pop-up window and it will close, allowing you to continue your navigation.

Change the default settings

From 'Main menu > Settings > Activity profiles > Alarms > Waypoint proximity' you can modify this alarm’s settings:

• Enable or disable the alarm

• Define the proximity distance

• Configure the alert tone

• Define the repetition interval

Note: The configuration is applied to the active activity profile, so each profile can have a different deviation distance.

Usage recommendations

The proximity distance can be adjusted according to the type of activity:

• In low-speed activities (hiking), a shorter distance allows for more precise alerts.

• In faster activities (cycling or motorcycling), a greater distance helps anticipate maneuvers or direction changes.

Properly configuring this alarm will help you better manage the key points of your route during navigation.
