Newby question on displaying text at specified points

 

Greetings All
A newby question. I've got a Zumo XT, and being dirt riders, we always use tracks rather than routes, there often being no road to route, and sometimes our planned track will cross over itself, rather like a figure 8 does.

Apart from whoever in our group created the track on Plotaroute.com, none of us can tell when we arrive at that crossover point whether we should be going left/right/straight, so it would be nice if I could have a text box etc pop up a short distance before that junction indicating the direction. We tried adding note points into the GPX during the track creation process on Plotaroute.com, which it does, but the Zumo ignores them, so it's becoming clear to me that custom POIs might be the way to achieve this.

Our need then is pretty basic, nothing more than even just a large single letter, L/R/S for example, to trigger at some point we pre-select.
Am I right in thinking custom POIs are the way to go?

If you use a custom csv poi file and save as a gpx file. You can build in the alert. See http://www.poi-factory.com/node/28521 . BMP and WAV file will be needed, depending on how you want to set the file up. Setting up custom pois see http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25721
