General concensus on Alerts

 

I've added a few POI's here and there to the site and one of the comments I get a lot is "the alert doesn't come on when I'm near..." I purposely, in all of my POI's, leave the Alert Field out as I see it to be either user preference or a possible problem to use with some Nav units.

So here's the question. When creating POI's, should we always include the alert feature or leave it to the user to create their own alerts and alert preferences using POI loader?

Or should we create 2 versions of the same file, one with Alerts, one without and upload both?

If the concensus is that Alerts should always be included, what would be the best Alert distance to use as a standard.

Your thoughts?

Leave alerts off

I'd suggest leaving the alerts off and let the user put in the ones they want with the criteria they want. What good is an alert if every one of the thousands of POI go off everytime you're near one ... absolutely useless.

Agree with RT

Let the end user set their own.
