No Need for Speed (in the file name)
 17 years
|
I don't know if I'm stating the already known/obvious, but I was playing around and found that you don't need to have the word "Speed" in the file name to get a speed alert. So instead of lets say "School Zone Speed 25.csv" you could have "School Zone 25.csv" and it would do the same thing.
I found this out when I downloaded the POI file for Air 1 radio stations (Air1_Stations_V.csv) and it kept setting a speed alert for 1 mph. Once I changed the file name to "Air One Stations.csv" POI Loader stopped setting a speed alert of 1 mph.
Like I said, I'm not sure if this is already known info, but everywhere I read people said to put the word "Speed" and a number in the file name to get a speed alert. It seems all you need in the file name is the number. Just thought I'd share. If this is old news just ignore me.
.
If you take a look at the POI Loader help file, you will find details about this.
Also, check out Phil's great guide for more information about alerts.

Miss Poi
should probably change the name of this POI from 1 to One to prevent this problem from reoccuring.

Save some problems for others along the way.

That change has been made, thanks for pointing it out.

I had this happen to me a while back with the Super 8 POI loaded...it took me a minute or two before I figured out why my nuvi had "lost it's mind" with it's constant, non-ending "speed alerts".

Those are fixed now, thanks.

If you use ...
If you use 'POI Verifier' or 'POI Verifier II' to check the POI files before uploading, it will warn you when the file name has a number in it, and gives you the option to 'click to remove it' if the alert is not desired.
