Speed/Red light files

 

When I first downloaded the Red Light and Speed Camera files I would get a red warning across the top of my Garmin that would say something like "Speed Camera 65MPH" or whatever the speed limit is at that location. The update on the 17th things changed. All my warnings after that would either not come up or say 2MPH. The one for the 24th I have not checked yet but when you open the files in the Garmin it says "Speed: none". I don't see anything different in the excel files to warrant this discrepancy. Does anyone have an answer for why this happened and how I can restore the warnings/speeds?

Things that would help us diagnose:
** Put your location in your profile
** Give us the identifier code of a couple locations that aren't working for you
** Advise whether you changed the name of the files
** Advise whether you set an alert in manual mode of POI Loader

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.

Some of the symptoms you describe are due to numbers being in your POI file names. Check all the file names in your folder you use for POI Loader and see if you have duplicate file names with a number. Eliminate the original file(s) and rename the ones with numbers so there are no numbers. Should solve the problem.

No extra numbers

There were no extra numbers after the files but this past weeks download works fine. Thanks for the help.
