| Posted by something.else Kenwood KNA-431AU POI Capabilities. Hi GPs guru's A couple of questions: 1. Is there any advantage using a GPX file over a CSV file. 2. Does the above unit support mp3 files for proximity warnings ? 3. schools Zones - does this unit support school zones well. 4. What doesnt it do that later units do (apart from ecoRoute. I am looking (like everyone ) to benefit from the greater wealth of Info relating to Speed Camera's and School Zone. It seems that schools are defined and therefore the surrounding roads are nominated to be 40Km/hr during school hours but some schools have multiple entrances/frontages with various schol speed zones applied .. Any Info how this device deals with school zone csv/gpx file. I will try and do some testing but some documentation would be nice to limit the amount of testing I need to do to get the best from my unit ? Naturally I am more than happy to upload my findings for the "greater good" Regds Al |

| Posted by something.else Kenwood KNA-431-AU Capabilities. And other answers to my own questions. Sounds : It looks like the KNA-431 cannot do anything with the *.mp3 sound files. The only thing you can get is a bong-bong when over speed for a speed camera or overspeed within xxx metres proximity SChool Zones: This is a curly one, the POI loader doesnt seem to recognise the speed setting in the the file in express mode. Also setting a distance on the POIloader doesnt seem to work (at least not below 400m). Speed Camera's: : These sem to work if the file is called bla_speed_60.csv with POILOader, it will recognise the speed and set a distance approximating about 36 seconds warning (40kmh = 400metres) iI cant seem to change it with the CSV file). RedLight CAmera's - only seem to be settable to 36 seconds of warning. Regds |

Alan, I think you may need to include SOX.EXE in the POI Loader folder to get sounds to work. Thee are quite a number of posts about this with the various Garmin models in the Garmin forum (and I think the Kenwood is a rebadged Garmin). |
