How I can get Garmin Streetpilot alarm only speed camera POIs ?

If setting alarm user POIs is set, then it alarms on every POI and if
its not set then it wont alarm of speed cameras.

Thanks

Read the help file that comes with the POI Loader. It explains how to define
how and when a POI provides an alert. There are also additional options in
the Manual settings of the POI loader.

Thanks. I readed help file and still cant get those work.

I have used manual setting and set speed camera POIs alarm 400m before
camera. Other POIs dont have alarm set, but still all POIs do alarm when
I am close to them.

If I check POI informations from Garmin it says:

POI name
>

Info:
Distance: 1312m
Speed: None

Of all POIs. Wonder where it gets that Distance. Anyway POIs do alarm
when I am close, not when those are 1312m (1.3km) away.

Garmin settings have new option when POIs are loaded to GPS. Alarm ->
User POIs.. I can mark it on or off. It its ON then ALL pois alarm and
if OFF then even speed camera POIs wont alarm. No alarms at all.

POIs are loaded at CSV files and inside CSV looks like:

> 26.00883, 60.87177, K-extra Aarninsalo K-extra Aarninsalo-Rahjala
> 24.96069, 60.17978, K-extra Ruokakori K-extra Ruokakori-Berghall
> 24.81445, 60.21757, K-citymarket Espoo Leppävaara Leppävaarankatu 3-9 K-citymarket Espoo Leppävaara Leppävaarankatu 3-9-Alberga


There is no distance 1312m.
