Duplicate locations in different files

I searched the FAQ and didn't find an answer to this question.
Q: What would happen if you loaded two speed camera files speed_cameraX.gpx and speed_cameraZ.gpx that had duplicate locations and ran with it?
Would the alerts function as normal?
I would think it would try
I would think it would try giving you duplicate alerts. Living in a large city, duplicate alerts would drive me nuts.
Duplicate files
I would think that since the since the red light cam files are based on Lat and Long coordinates, the same location will have slightly different coordinates, thus causing duplicate warnings possibly at different times as you approach the point of interest. The alerts should function as normal but multiple times.
Duplicate alert locations
The reason for my question was not all files have all camera and redlight locations. So I was wondering about loading these different files. I guess I could merge them in the GeePeeEx editor and delete those tagged duplicates. But not everyone has the skills for that.

It really won't hurt anything to have duplicate locations loaded on the unit.
So unless it really bothers you or you are looking for a project, you can just leave them as is if you want.
