Point Alert

Available only with Premium

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.

Point alert does not notify of LoPoints.

Locus menu > All features > Points > Point alert

• Distance - set how far from the selected point should Locus start the alert
• Notify once - the alert goes on only once
• Notify until stopped - notification repeats in the defined interval until stopped manually (red STOP button on-screen) or when you're out of the alert distance.
