• With "Navizon Alerts" you can create a circle anywhere on the map, and set it to trigger a certain action whenever you or a buddy of yours enters or exits the area.

• With this feature you can be notified when your kids get to or leave school, when your husband or wife leaves the office, or any other clever idea you can think of.

• To set up alerts, just click on the Alerts tab in the Members Section, and click “Create Alerts”

• If you want to be notified by Email, then you simply enter the desired address in the provided box. To be notified via Text Message, see Sending Alerts as Text Messages.

• For Navizon Alerts to work, you must be "Visible" to Navizon. To make sure this setting is on, see Changing your Visibility.

Note: To set up alerts for when you enter or exit an area, you must first add yourself as a buddy.

• Some people may not be aware, but most wireless carriers offer what is known as an Email to SMS gateway. What that means is that your phone number can function like an email address, all you need is the suffix. (ie the stuff after the @ symbol).

• If you know your carrier's gateway, you can simply enter your ten digit number followed by the gateway into the box for the email address you want to send your alert to.

• For example, the Email to SMS gateway for Verizon Wireless is: YourTenDigitNumber@vtext.com. So if your number is (555)-123-4567, you would enter 5551234567@vtext.com as the email address you want to send your alert to.

Note: Messages sent this way arrive on your phone as standard text messages, so there may be a character limit for your message. And standard text messaging rates will apply for your device to receive text messages.

• For a list of some carriers' Email to SMS gateways see this page. You just need to substitute your phone number (including area code) where it says "number", and use that as your faux Email address.
