when i load my POI's there are some that by default has proximity alerts turned on, so i have to manually go through all my POI's to turn them off.
Is there something i can edit in the file itself, so that everytime i load my poi's in the loaded, i dont have to go through them all, some examples are white castles, and 7-11. Thank you
Get rid of numbers in the filenames
Numbers in the filenames will cause POILoader to assume those are speed alert files. Rename your files without any numbers in the filenames and reload them.
Yes sir that is in fact

Note on the file
There is a note on the White Castle file: "Note(7-25-2007)be sure to delete '_V3' from the file name or it will sound an alert."
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.
hey thanks a lot, appreciate
hey thanks a lot, appreciate the quick response, i didn't mind manually deselecting it in poi loader, but got more annoying as i accumulated more of these fine poi's from this site, thank you.
POI file version numbers
There is a note on the White Castle file: "Note(7-25-2007)be sure to delete '_V3' from the file name or it will sound an alert."
I like to use version numbers in my POI files, and do so by incorporating the month, day, and year. The resulting number is outside of the spec that will trigger a speed warning. i.e. v092808.
