910 POI Warnings - When POI not on route?

[Fraserp]

Uncertain whether this is a TT or a POI issue.
Does anyone else still get warnings from POIs that are not on your intended route?
I have a TT910, version 6.525, using the PGPSW database, i have set various warning distances, but also to Warn only if POI is on the route. But I am still getting warning for other nearby POIs. For example, travelling on the M60 clockwise, approaching J11 with the A57, to the east there is a Redlight camera REDLIGHT:9704@30. My route requires me to pass this as I am going to join the M62 westbound. As I approach, J11, but still on the M60, I get a warning of the redlight camera on a different road, that is not on my route.

A similar issue occurs at j7-J8 with GATSO:2266@40. This may be different as they have radically altered the M60 around this junction and the map does not reflect the new road layout.

Any ideas?

It's a TT issue, we all get it. I've decided that if it's possible for you to (change your route and) drive past it, it'll warn. The one I find most annoying is two Gatsos along a nearby road, each at the end of a short dual carriageway which has a gap partway between them. Normally the "wrong" side camera would not warn, but because there's the possibility to do a U-turn, the nearest camera becomes the first and warns me even though it's on the other side of the dual carriageway. The same happens, again with the "wrong" camera when I'm driving in the opposite direction. The worst part about it is that the first camera is still warning after I've passed it and blocks the correct distance warning for the "right" camera until I'm right under it. Until TT add the capability to use camera directional information, we're stuck with it. Some other brands are capable and directional info is actually included on the pgpsw database. Personally, I think it very unlikely that TT will move to adding that function, simply because they sell a database themselves and to add directional info to it would be too much of an effort.

Motorway junctions all seem to be "seen" as part of the route by the TomTom. I get loads of false alerts on motorways where there is a mobile site located on the roundabout at the end of the sliproad going off.

I was fairly sure that it got worse when I updated the maps or software, but it's probably just because a) there are a lot more mobile sites in the database nowadays, or b ) I've increased the warning distance a lot for mobiles.
