I have a nuvi 2797LMT and would like to add proximity alerts to some of my saved places.
If that's possible, how do I go about it?
I have done it with custom poi's, but would like to add proximity alerts to saved places.
I have the latest Poi Loader, GE and POI Editor.
Thanks in advance.

This is a method I used in the past.It will be a custom poi file.
1.First thing is to created a WAV file you plan to use for each POI the alert will be requrired for.Save to computer.
2.Connect GPS to computer unless you already have the current.gpx file saved to your computer.
3.Using Extra POI Editor load the current.gpx file to EPE.
4.Once list comes up.Double click on the one you want the alert for.
5.On the EPE screen for the proximity setting put in number of feet for the alert.Located right under Geocoding.
6.On the link area.Use browse and find the wav file for the alert for that POI.
7.Make sure to click OK on bottom left.
8.Continue same process for the next POI for alert and making sure to click OK .
9.Now just save the file to your computer as a GPX.
10.Using PoiLoader install it with your other custom POIS to GPS.This file will have the alert built in.
Note.You can also delete out the ones not being use for a alert.No more space then it takes I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm not aware of anyway to add proximity alerts to saved places, only custom POIs.

Found Another Way
I googled and found another way using Extra POI Editor, google maps and the Garmin Communicator plugin.
Took a while but worked like a charm.
Now if I can only remember what I did !!

This worked for me
attach gps to pc.
search youtube for making waypoints in google earth and sending them to your gps.l
garmin communicator plugin.
add waypoint and folder to my places and name them.
right click folder and save as kml.
open kml with editor and save as gpx.
make a folder and place gpx in it, also wave and icon if desired.
I named my Folder TourGuide_Name. example:TourGuide_Harley. Place with other poi's folder.
Install with POI Loader using manual and add proximity alerts.
Hope it works for y'all.
