Hi my name is Marcus, i'm a newbie :D great site by the way.
i just got a quest 2 for my motorbike and i have updated it to v2.50 and its a little slow but that i can live with but i added the speed camera POI i got from here and i went and set it to feet and MPH and then said i want it to tell me 350 feet from the camera to tell me but the unit always sets it at 1,585 feet!! this quite a pest because i aint even near the road when the unit tells me to slow down.... Sad

can some one please help!!!

sorry to to add to it but there is no edit button. i have also noticed that there is some set to 2113 feet!! these are great for hight speed motorways but this on a 30MPH road that isnt even 2000 feet long. maybe i have to delete the POI's and then do the manual ranges??

You can use the MANUAL process in POIloader and set the distances manually per CSV file.

Yo can alter the behavior by setting a @[speed] at the end of the POI description, so it alerts you at that speed or above.

You might need to check the CSV files for correctness.

its got all the right speed settings in the file. its just the distance alerting is way to far. is there a way to delete the POI's and then trying to install them again?

cheers mate

You set it to the correct miles/kilometers setting in POILoader?

i have set it to "feet and MPH" the other option is "meters and KPH" but that one i cant use here because we dont use "KPH" to measure speed

Have a look at these posts for the Garmin i3, the same situation about setting the alert distances.

You will see that we now have a program that can set the alert distances via a gpx converter program.

I know this is for the i3, but it may work for your system as well.

Please do it at your own risk, or contact the author to see what Garmin SDK he used and whether it covers your system.
