Proximity Alert grief

 

Using the help file in the POI Loader program I am unable to get my POI files to give me the sort of proximity alerts I want.

Suppose I have a file called Pacific Pride.csv and another called Rest Areas.csv. Niether has any “@xx” in any fields but only longitude, latitude, name, comments and such fields.

Suppose with Pacific Pride I want to know when I am within say two miles of a Pacific Pride gas station no matter where it is relative to my route. They’re usually not on the main roads but back off a ways on side streets.

Suppose with Rest Areas I want to know only about ones along my route say one mile ahead.

How do I do those two things exactly? I have experimented with “GATSO,” “TourGuide,” the manual mode of POI loader and other arcane things but can’t figure it out!

Thanks.
