I have a Nuvi 2597LMT, when I am loading custom POI's and using the "alert me with in feet" of an alert point 1. What is the maximum number of feet away from an alert point that I can use? 2. What is the shortest distance in feet to an alert point can I use?
Thank you
my recollection is
That the maximum distace is like 37 miles or roughly 195,000 ft.
The shortest can be less than 10 ft.
The furthest I use is 8000 ft for some of the "just off the highway" locations like truck fuel stops and Cracker Barrel.
I use 5500 ft. for The Rest Area file and I use 750 ft. for Red Light Cameras.
Everyone is different on their likes and dislikes for alerts !

MrKenFL has answered correctly.
And while you can set a proximity of 10 feet, with recreational grade GPS units, it's not practical to set the proximity less than 30 or 40 feet since that is the typical level of GPS accuracy.
