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.

• Distance - set how far from the selected point should Locus start the alert
