Red light and speed camera poi not working

 
Sun, 11/24/2013 - 9:23am

It has been a while (3 years) since I have loaded POI files onto my Nuvi 250. I downloaded the files, saved onto my computer, added a couple of sound files and renamed them to the name of the POI files and ran POI Loader from the Garmin site and all seems to work.

However no alerts showed up during my entire trip from Toronto to Detroit.

Can anyone think of anything I am doing wrong? Has the poi file formats changed in the last few years since I last looked at this?

Thanks

Dan

Locations

Are you sure there are redlight or speed camera locations along your route?

For a nuvi 250, are you using wav audio files and if loading with a PC, do you have sox.exe installed? Your older nuvi 360 was able to use mp3 files without sox.exe.

Do you have alerts turned on (page 32):

Knowing that helps us understand the solution.
