Setting warnings for POIs

You can set a warning sound or message to be played or displayed when you approach a selected type of POI, such as a gas station.

The following example will show how to set a warning sound to be played when you are 500 feet from a gas station.

  1. Tap Manage POIs or Warn when near POI in the settings menu.
  2. Scroll down the list and tap Gas station.

    Tip: To remove a warning, tap on the category name and then tap Yes. POI categories which have been set with a warning have a sound symbol next to the category name.

  3. Set the distance as 500 feet and tap OK.
  4. Select Sound effect and then tap Next.
  5. Select the warning sound for the POI and then tap Next.
  6. If you only want to hear the warning when the POI is directly on a planned route, select Warn only if POI is on route. Then tap Done.

    The warning is set for the selected POI category. You will hear a warning sound when you are 500 feet from a petrol station on your route.
