Point alert

This feature notifies you (with beeping, a custom sound, vibration or a voice phrase) when a point from a selected folder of your user points is nearby (in the defined distance). Thanks to it, you don't have to check on the map all the time for geocaches near your hiking route, for example.

Point alert does not notify of LoPoints.

• open Folders tab:
  
  
• check the folder with points you want to be notified of

• open Basic tab:
  
  
• Distance - set how far from the selected point Locus starts the alert
• Notify when point is in range - check to switch sound/vibration notifications on/off (visual notification on map stays on)
• Notify once - the alert goes on only once
• Notify until stopped - notification repeats in defined interval until stopped manually (red STOP button on screen) or when you're out of the alert distance.

Open Notification tab:

• Disable - all sounds are disabled, only screen and vibration alert work
• Beep - select number of beeps (1-10)
• Select sound - select any sound stored in your device memory
• Text-to-speech - enables voice prompts notifying of the name, distance, and direction of the point
  Tap Play to check your sound settings.

  Tap Play to check your vibration settings.
