I currently have an e80 and am looking to switch to an Axiom. I find the waypoint approach alerts on the e80 to be annoying in that they sound like urgent alarms elsewhere, such as engine troubles. It doesn't allow any selection of alternate "friendlier" tones. Does the Axiom enable the user to select alternate tones, or to turn off/down the volume of these alerts?
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum myluna,
While the volume and tone of the sound generated when an alarm is triggered cannot be configured by the owner, owners of MFDs running LightHouse II and LightHouse 3 software have significantly greater control over which alarms will and will not be sounded. Such is the case for waypoint arrival alarms which may be configured ON or OFF within MFDs running LightHouse II and LightHouse 3 software.
