As a newbie, I've learned a lot in the last 12 days, but I'm still not clear about:
1.) Where/how does an associated jpg image show up when an alert triggers. In a test POI that I created, I get the red banner, I get the audio, but I don't see the image or the "description".
2.) Is there no way to have both a speed AND proximity alert for a speed camera? I'd like a different alert depending on whether I'm OK on speed or over the limit.
3.) Are there no audio files for specific speed? Dryheat3 posted a demo video that demonstrated how the audio disappears if you drop below the 40 mph speed limit but says something like "limit 40" if you exceed that speed. If you choose to create a speed alert, how far in advance does it check the speed.

The jpeg's are not associated with Alerts. They are selected manually, for general POIs.

Yes, this is perfectly possible. You have to use gpx format, if you want full control of the parameters. I have all my Speed Camera alerts (5000+) doubled up. They are set as Proximity Alerts, so that I'm always alerted. They are also set as Speed Alerts (at slightly higher than the speed limit), so that I get further alerts if I've ignored the initial warning.
I used this software to set these alerts:

I see the icons

Ummm...my camera poi shows up for my speed/redlight alerts. Although jpegs are not technically associated with the alert feature, he should still be able to see the icon, at least I do.

true ... but those will be the .bmp's, not the . jpg's
