charlesd45, in your "Extra POI Editor | How To Build Alert Distance In Using Gpx Files" tutorial about how to use Extra POI Editor, you talk about "OPEN"ing the target file, but don't mention that the target file has to be a .csv file. That is right, right? If it is, that becomes a fairly important omission for someone completely unfamiliar with EPE.

CSV or GPX Garmin
The files used for Garmin are CSV or GPX . It doesn't matter which one you load with EPE. Saving as a GPX is what produces the results. EPE have several file options for loading and saving files.

Always use EPE to set alerts
I always set alerts with EPE. It allows you to imbed the alerts into the POI file, instead of having to do it each time you reload a particular file, with POI Loader.
Be sure to go to Options and Uncheck the "Enable Internet" option. Otherwise it will time out and give you error messages, because it's trying to connect to Google Maps.
