Both of my POI's in the test had a 1500 foot alert around it. I didn't remember that I had all the KOA campsite databases with 3 mile alerts on them. So I did take out the Zumo 396 with the alerts that I had put in and they functioned as expected with one caveat. I'll stop in here tomorrow to let you know for certain if it works and if there are any odd things that should be noted.
I am trying ti on my Zumo 396 but can't go out until tomorrow to see for certain if it works on this.

That will vary between GPS as to how to do that. You will need to go to your GPS and make sure alerts are set for Custom POI's for this to work on the GPS. You should have created the alert POI's on your GPS.
You will want to pick the "this file contains proximity alerts points" checkbox and use the radio button of "alert whenever you get close to a point" and pick how close you want the alert before it goes off. The name isn't particularly important during this but might be if you want to look at the SD card or have it attached to the computer through USB and the storage is added as drives. gpx file is located that you want to add and chose a name that you want to call it. You are going to want to install new custom POI's on your GPS otherwise it will overwrite anything you might already have on the unit. You can do this to a file but it gets a little more complicated if you do it that way so I am just describing it with the GPS connected.Īs you can see I have a Zumo 396 but I have done this successfully with a Montana 600 so I think that this should work with many GPS's from Garmin.
Run the program and have your GPS connected. You will need to download POIloader from Garmin. gpx file that you have created that contains some waypoints that you want alerts when you get near them on your Garmin GPS. The assumptions are that you have a valid. I had done that years ago and was trying to explain it and then realized that my memory was playing tricks so I decided to do the full procedure on here to hopefully help others. There was someone who was asking about alerts on poi's on the XT posts.
