The database contains 10,000plus cameras.

Could you answer some questions
Which database are you using-Zoned or consolidated?
When or where or what distance are you having the proximity warnings.
Are you having any overspeed warnings?

Yes something is wrong with your download as the zoned should be 10,000 plus.

No, the other problem could be not your fault!
You are third or fourth member to get upset with these continued extra alerts even though you are not overspeed!

Discuss that with Paul the moderator.

Ash10s Camera Manager downloads it's own database so you don't need to download a database.

Also note that when you load the database to your Nuvi it'll report twice as many Speed Cameras have been loaded as there are cameras in the database as each camera gets 2 entries. One for Proximity Alerts and one for Overspeed.

Multiple alerts can be caused by multiple cameras in the area.

You will get Proximity Alerts even if you are under the speed limit as one other effect of using CM is to have a single, low pitch "Bong, Bong" regardless of your speed. The Overspeed Warning will sound a higher pitched "Bong, Bong" and will continue to sound until your speed drops below the speed limit. It'll help if you can tell us which one you are hearing.

Also if you are crawling along in traffic towards a camera and you stop, when you start moving again you'll get another Proximity alert. An unfortunate side effect if you are in "stop, start" traffic....

I would clear out your POILoader folder on your PC. Run Camera Manager and get it to generate new files by adjusting a time setting on the Timings tab, click Apply and then adjust it back and then click Apply again. This will then generate new fresh files from CM. Upload these. You don't need any other downloads or files from PGPSW.

Go back to basics.
60 seconds to download zoned database.
60 seconds to upload database to unit with default settings.
You then get this: -

all that was done at 9am this morning so if we do the same and you do not get the same result perhaps we work from there!

21,960 seems about right, IF you are using Camera Manager.

See how you go with the database. One setting it might be worth checking (and this is available on some Nuvis and not others) is under Tools, Settings, Proximity Alerts, Change..

Sometimes there is an Audio option. See if it is there and if it is set to Continuous or Single Tone.

Edit: To clarify.

Having done the same as me you should have the same result!
You are still involving CM.

You are trying two different techniques.

Clear out your file and see if you can get my result by two moves.!!

Until you get the same result do not move on.

I am also getting too many alerts and have found a work around.
Until you get 11,000 cameras then we have not the same problem!
