No notifications given in simulation mode

I have tested this several times on GPS simulation mode. I point to an address that passes a speed camera (and I've set the notifications all to alert me when I get close them like 400m, I didn't do the go over x speed notification) and even though I pass the camera, no notifications are given.
Is this because it's in simulation mode?

No audible warning in simulation mode

Have you set the proximity alerts to 'On' ? Without this there will be no warning for speed cameras etc in any mode.

it's on

yep its set to on.. several times now I pass camera even when not in simulation (altho i dont go over limit).. the icon shows on the map, but there is no written or voice warning..

Thanks for your help, but still no luck.. I'll try to give u some exact coordinates next time I hook up the gps
Hi
No need to "give" any coordinates... just make a small test file with points along your usual route (to test your unit). Return it if it doesn't work.
You can use our online POIEdit.

Hi Mark,
I just did this, made a custom POI and set alert to 500 m and it did notify me! However, the ones on the website haven't alerted me yet...

I read somewhere that the device looks at file name b4 looking at the distance specified and assumes that's the distance/speed limit to warn you? If that's the case should i rename the ones that mention the speed limit (like 100, 90, 50 etc)?

I want all of them to alert me in 500m, not if I go over a certain speed. If I manually enter 500m in each would it listen or is the alert embedded in the gpx file?
Thanks

Speed cam works

I just tested a speed cam and it works! I guess the other ones I was setting a route that would not go past the camera (like at the intersection maybe I went the wrong direction).

call the custom poi file

call the custom poi file redlight or 'safety' and the alerts will all default to the default setting and beep
