Available only with Premium

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.

• Beep - select number of beeps (1-10)
