I was wondering if someone can give me a list of recommended distances to set the alerts on POILoader?

I'd like to set it for at least 30 second warning for 50, 60 & 70 mph limits & 20 second warning for 20, 30 & 40mph limits.

Thanks muchly. Smile

You can if you use something like Garmin GPX Converter or member Ash10 - Camera Manager first to convert the PGPSW files.

POILoader has a Manual mode where you can set distances and speeds manually. However if I recall correctly it will ignore any attempts to use it for the speed camera database and will always fall back on it's own internal settings. POILoader has it's own settings for files with names like GATSO, Redlight, SPECS etc

Using Camera Manager as mentioned is the best way as you can specify alert times.

Personally, with Ash10 CameraManager, I have Approach warnings at 30 seconds for Mobiles and 20 seconds for Gatso, Redlight and Specs.

My Overspeed warnings are at 22 seconds for Mobile, and 12 seconds for Gatso and Redlight.
