====== Point Alert ======

----
<wrap info>Available only with **[[https://www.locusmap.app/premium|Premium]]**</wrap>

===== What is it for? =====

The Point alert **notifies** you (with beeping, a custom sound, vibration or a voice) **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.
