i made a couple poi files now for my 360 (and uploaded them to poi factory). i noticed that when i use poi loader that certain poi files have a default proximity alert distance allready entered. is there any place i can go to change this distance to what i want it to be? i noticed that the default distance is different for different files so it has to be able to be edited, just dont know were to go to do it, any one know? thanks

If this not intentional, it will be because you've either got some 'digits' in the file name, or one of the reserved keywords that POI Loader recognises.

Take a look at the link that Phil provided.
Also, can you tell us exactly what your POI files are named?

1 other thing, instead of uploading in auto do a manual upload. That is where I was able to set the distance. That drove me nuts till I found out.

If you choose to use POI Loader in Manual mode (there is a dropdown menu for Express or Manual), you will be presented with an option to set all locations in the file with a single distance for proximity alerts. Remember that the coordinates must be on or extremely close to your route -- not just a radial distance.
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.
