Setting a proximity alarm.Etrex20

[+hydrodis]

Hi, been playing again. I have altered the settings for proximity alarm. It was set to sound when within 50 yards of any geo-cach. It has stopped working (probally me when messing with buttons)I need to re-set so when every nearing any cache stored in the gps it will sound. Could someone please run through the procedour step by step. Thanks.

To be honest, I've not had any of my GPSr's "beep" at the same distance-from-cache twice in a row. I do like having the feature enabled, however, but question it's accuracy.

I've stopped using the proximity alarm as following the instruction on p24 of the handbook I found I had to set an alarm for every cache. Does anyone know how you can set an alarm for all caches ie make it so you don't have to set it cache by cache?

Thanks.

I think it is for each and every single waypoint what ever that waypoint is. Geo cache , poi, tide point etc., they are all just waypoints.

Actually I was wrong, just searched it out on google. You need to do it in GSAK using the poi loader. Say what?

Just search out multiple proximity alarms.

But I dont think its possible just using the buttons on the unit.

Thanks but although I've got GSAK and use it for my PQs I'm still no further forward.
