Proximity zones.... (troubleshooting)

 
Tue, 03/15/2011 - 4:44pm

I have loaded my GPSmap76csx (POI loader) with wp and proximity zones, 750m, but the alert sounds at different distances. Everything from 750 to 0m!

What is wrong??

Do you have numbers in your file names?

If you haven't already done so, you might want to check out Gary Hayman's website, Garmin Nuvi GPS Tricks, Tips, etc., especially page 4 of the section on creating custom POIs:

I did not try to include the distance in the file name, thought it was OK to load manually with POI loader and set the proximity distance

Thanks for answering, and have a good day!
