Browse to a point on the map and then select a Where To point that will take you past your POI. It should alert just as if you were actually driving by.

Google earth works well, too. The street views are very handy at times!

Simulation Mode
To activate Simulation Mode:
Select Tools>Settings>System>Turn Gps Simulator from Off to On. Then select View Map>Touch navigation map to get to road map>Pan and Zoom to location near alert site and touch screen>Select Set Location.
This moves your vehicle closer to alert to help speed up simulation. Then select Where to>Browse Map>select a point beyond your alert>Go>Do you want to Simulate...>Yes
Hope this helps.
