Howdy there . . .
I am in search of someone to build a few custom POI files for me with alerts attached to them.
I would be willing to pay someone for their time as I am just way too busy to create these files and the ones that I have tried to create, the alerts haven't worked.
Some of the files I need created are . . .
US Rest Stops with a 15 mile radius proximity alert
US Weigh Stations / Ports of Entry with 15 mile radius proximity alert
US Truck stops with 15 mile radius proximity alert
I need it to be a radius alert and not just on the road I am traveling.
Anyones help with this is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to e-mail me at Eaglelvr@aol.com if interested.
All here
All the files you mentioned already exist here at POI Factory.
Various Truck Stops like Loves. Petro, TA are individual files and "Rest Areas Combined" and "Weigh Stations" are also individual files.
All you have to do is change the title of the file so they are TourGuides, add a .wav or .mp3 file and load into your GPS with Garmin's POI Loader in Manual mode with the distance you prefer.
The instructions are here mainly in the FAQs here .
Good Luck

Is it likely you'll need a promity alert that far off route. Couldn't you just see what is near your current location.
Proximity alerts settings greater than 2 miles will drive your gps and you nuts due to multiple poi's in the area. The proximity alerts will not clear screen until you are outside 15 mile area.
In any case, add the TourGuide to the end of the file name before .csv or .gxp This will allow you to read poi group name before the word tourguide appears on screen. Load the file with POI-Loader in manual mode, set distance for what ever you want. I usually rounded out distance such as 10,00 ft for 2 miles or 75,000 ft for 15 miles (the exact distance in ft is greater than that).
