can you set proximity alerts for 360 degrees rather then just on your route

Welcome

Welcome and congrats on your 1st post.

Yes, absolutely. Check the FAQs here at The Factory for "TourGuide." After reading the FAQs, ask if you have question. If you haven't already done so, it's best to get used to Custom POIs, POI Loader, custom icons and custom audio before trying TourGuides.

A few tips: if your nuvi can not play mp3 files, you will need to used wav files; TourGuides must have a custom audio alert.
