Redlight Camera POI name

Hi everyone,

I've got a question about the redlight camera csv POI file I downloaded from here. Does each individual POI name within that csv file has something meaningful such as does it set the proximity alert speed ?

For example here are some POI names within that file:

Red Light Camera .01vxt
Red Light Camera .01vys
Red Light Camera .022x8

Does the .01 or .022 indicate the distance of the proximty alert?

Within the name of those POIs, after the word "Red Light Camera", the rest of the name does it indicates something ?

Thank you

Thanks Motorcyle Mama, so

Thanks Motorcyle Mama, so the name of the POI is to make each POI unique so that Miss POI can update it when needed.

What I'm trying to figure out is when I use the POI Loader 2.5.3 to load the red light camera file I got from here. I use the manual mode to load it into my GPS 265wt, and set the proximity alert to 1360 feet. But I noticed that the alert go off only when it is very close to the POI. It alert at around 100 or 200 feet instead of 1360 feet. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong.

Thanks
