On my 255wt, I uploaded the sample red light file and added the sound and bitmap files. When I approach a red light camera, the unit repeats the phrase four times. I checked the wav file itself and it contains only one phrase. Is there a way to set how many times the saying repeats. If I remember correctly, prior to the wav file it "beeped" four times.
Thanks Jim
Set a default speed
The default for speed cameras is zero as in no movement. Anything other than not moving will trigger the "Urgent" alert which is a repeating alert.
If you set a default speed, the unit will only alert once until you exceed that speed. The easiest way is to include the speed in the file name - Speed_Cameras25.csv will set a default speed of 25. The other methods are to use the @ symbol in each record with a speed (@65) or set the speed using POI Loader in manual.

You can change from
You can change from continuous alert to single alert.
Select Tools>Settings>Proximity Points>Proximity Alerts>Audio.

Must be an 8x5 feature
You can change from continuous alert to single alert.
Select Tools>Settings>Proximity Points>Proximity Alerts>Audio.
My 760 doesn't have an "Audio" option under "Proximity Alerts". Too bad. I'm always annoyed by that bit of overzealousness on the part of my GPS.
Main point of course is that I guess whether you have this option depends on what model you have.

well I dont have the slightest of idea.

For my unit I have voice file which has only one time alert, My audio option is also set for single prompt, I have set the distance instead of speed limit for RED light camera. Inspite of all these measures my units sometime prompts 2times, some times 3 times, some time 4 time,
I always feel like of unit is feeling lazy it would prompt once. If its happy prompts 4 times...
Thank god it doesn't go to sleep while i am driving near by RED light camera!!!
Repeating single alerts
My unit is set for single alerts and many times it is a single alert. I get multiple alerts for the same location when in urban areas because of traffic lights. Every time you stop moving and then restart, the unit again alerts.

I thought the alert only let
I thought the alert only let you know once. Yesterday, first time I had driven through a red light alert. When I was passing through without stopping, it said once. I gave it another test. This time, I had to wait for the red light, it kept repeating (not non-stop talking, it is like saying, then stop for about 5 sec, then saying) the warning until I moved for the green light.

Proximity alerts
Kevenater, Proximity alerts are included with the Custom POI feature. Search this site and you will find lots of information on using proximity alerts on your 765T.

Proximity Alerts
When loading the red light camera file, I set the alert distance in manual in PoiLoader at 600 feet, about half the automatic distance. This is sufficient because the usual traffic speed is 40 - 50 and no higher. I get one alert at 600 feet and another at about 150 feet. In stop-and-go traffic there is another alert when you start going forward.
The red light camera file works perfectly. Contributors all over the country and Miss POI have done a lot of hard work to make it that way.
The 765 is just like my 760. All the info you need is contained in this website including playing an .mp3 for an alert rather than the chime.
