Can someone please give me some advice. Very Happy

I have a Garmin Nuvi 660 and use your speed camera database and some of your POI's. These are in CSV format

When loading the cameras with POI loader, the loader has the speed or distance pre-determined do I don't have to do anything with them.

However when it comes to the POI database, if I want to set a distance warning I have to do it manually. However I have noticed that two particular files pre load a distance.

Q8 Fuel services and T-Mobile Wireless

Q8 I an understand as it puts an 8 in from the title, however, though I have examined the T-Mobile file I cannot find any explanation why it pre loads the warning distance, and I have to reset it on POI Loader.

In fact there are occasions when it would suit me to have this warning pre programmed into POI Loader as I have some audio files I do want triggered as I approach the POI.

Any help in how to pre set the warning distance would be appreciated. Rolling Eyes

The word MOBILE also will trigger POILoader to add Proximity Alerts as it is a type of camera.

I don't think you can. POILoader wipes out the POI file each time it is run so you need to manually set the alerts each time.

Hadn't connected the "Mobile" element in T-Mobile with the camera but it does give me an idea now about utilising file names

Thanks PaulB2005 Very Happy
