 ### Proximity Alerts
 - **Location-Based Alerts**: Get notified when members arrive back at a configured lat/long, perfect for remote locations like campsites.
+- **High Flying Alerts**: Get notified when nodes with high altitude are seen on mesh
 
 ### CheckList / Check In Out
 - **Asset Tracking**: Maintain a list of node/asset checkin and checkout. Usefull for accountability of people, assets. Radio-Net, FEMA, Trailhead.
