I have several Garmins of various ages, including a GPSMAP76s, a GPSMAP
276c and a GPSMAP 541. I'll have to take another look at them. I want
the circle drawn around where the anchor is located, not around the
boat's present position when I set the alarm. This would be done while
looking at the chart, so you could start at the anchor location and drag
out a perimeter from there that is just a bit more than your scope, to
allow for tide changes. I didn't see a way to accomplish that with any
of the units I have, but perhaps I missed something. I'll look again.

even my old (over 10 years) Garmin GPSMAP 76S has that function. This

Bill,
My old Garmin Chart plotter does exactly that. The anchor alarm sets
up a radius from a point and sounds when you go outside it. Pretty
sure most of them have that feature.

I've often wished for an anchor alarm app for my smart phone or GPS
chartplotter that would work like the range alarm on my RADAR where
you set a ring of a particular range, rather than just a directional
distance, and if you moved outside of that circle, the alarm would
sound. Seems to me that GPS makers have missed the boat on what would
be a really great feature to use as a sales pitch.

Dennis,
Enjoyed your humor, although I am sure there was nothing funny in
your mind when you were awaken. First time I set my anchor alarm,
I allowed for 10 feet of drag. During the night there was a
slight wind change, no drag but Finesse did swing. LIke you it
got me up in a hurry. How stupid I felt not thinking about
something so simple as a possible wind change, duh. Again,
enjoyed you humor and thanks for posting.
