| Posted by gaurav_vig22 Warning on Garmin Mobile XT Hello, I have recently installed these POI's on my Garmin Mobile XT software. It works great but I have noticed that it shows the camera on the wrong side of the road. Sometimes it will beaps and shows me the camera warning even if the camera is on the other side of the road. Sometimes if i am travelling on the freeway, it will give me a warning beep and message even if the camera is on the street crossing the freeway. Is this normal? Advices Appreciated. |

| Posted by stergar Re: Warning on Garmin Mobile XT I have similar situation. I was driving on one road and warning was for other road. I found that was because i have large proximity. I will reduce proximity to 100metars and see what will be. |

| Posted by gaurav_vig22 Proximity alerts on Garmin Mobile XT I am using the normal .GPX files, not the proximity downloads. How do we reduce proximity on the phone? or do we have to download the POI's again and then reload them? |

| Posted by huanzhu2003 I did not notice that I did not notice the situation you mentioned. But I do not think it is a bad thing. You will not miss any warnings, just get a few more warnings which do not exist. |

| Posted by kiwikkk Doesn't matter... Doesn't matter really as long as your poi alerts you in time... Give and take a few metres... However you can edit POI's and put into it the exact correct lat and lng coordinates. |

Yep, this is normal. One thing I think most people don't realise is that even thought the GPS can tell what altitude you are at, with respect to proximity, vertical distance is not taken into account so, if you are traveling over a bridge that has a speed camera underneath, it will still give you a warning. I have had this happen to me even though the 'camera' was in a tunnel considerably underneath me. |
