POI issue!

[Wilkomez]

more like a question. IS it possible to make an alert for when you get within a certain amount of yards of a speed camera POI? and also for it to warn you of the speed, like it says after each of my POI's the speed limit for the camera. :D
50.737330,-1.882680,GATSO:1757@30,,
51.609500,-2.891490,GATSO:1758@40,,
50.734480,-1.986820,GATSO:1759@30,,
51.409500,-0.244770,GATSO:1760@50,,

thanks =P

It should be possible to get a "heads up" a couple of yards before a POI by setting up a waypoint!?

Config.txt has a field called:

##################################################
## ALERT MESSAGE WARNING DISTANCE IN PIXELS ##
## INCREASE TO GET EARLIER NOTIFICATION OF ##
## OF UPCOMING WAYPOINT ##
##################################################
WARNINGDISTANCE=35

As for the speedlimits just ease off the pedal ;)

ooooooooh i thought that ment waypoints for routes or something? :| cool, thx for that :P but still it would be awsome if It could somehow alert you of the camera using the 50.737330,-1.882680,GATSO:1757@30,, <- 30 part here and flashing it on screen or even TTS'ing it!! :D

I wont swear on it but i think you can set up your own waypoints :)

Maby Deniska adds Speedcameras in the next update of 0.5 ;)

VOICE PROMPTS / ALERTS EXPLANATION
---------------------------------
Starting with MapThis! 0.5 it is possible to assign sound alerts to any POI or waypoint.
For instance, if you have a speed trap POI list for your area and you'd like to have a
sound alert when approaching a speed trap you'll need to do following:
1) Save your alert sound as 128bps/44Khz mp3 file as system/messageXXX.mp3 where XXX is any 3 digit number.
2) Edit your speed trap POI file to add that message number to the end of every poi definition line
40.666758,-73.992049,SPEED CAMERA,CAMERA1,XXX,
40.666901,-73.988001,SPEED TRAP,TROOPER,XXX,
........
