It would be impractical to include the cost of the toll fees. How would your GPS know from which toll you enter the highway and which toll that you're exiting from?

You need a total overhaul of current navigation software in order to "know" which toll you enter and which toll you exit! :mrgreen:

Exactly. I've gotten quite a few PM messages from people asking the impossible from my cPOIs in the past. The Garmin software is pretty simple and doesn't accommodate useful parameters like direction, time and calendar for POIs. Garmin doesn't even provide a separate volume control for cPOI announcements. I get tired of having to tell folks who complain that the warning sounds are too loud. There's only one master volume for the GPS unit and if they use a voice file that's soft, naturally they'll turn up the volume.

Obviously when they turn up the volume of their unit higher, the announcements and sounds would be even louder! ](*,) Furthermore different models have different loudness levels. The 200-series have louder speakers than the Nuvi 310 that I'm using.

TOLL PLAZA ALERT (in-correct location).

Travelling out from Merlimau Tol Plaza on Route ~80, towards Main Road Merlimau/Jasin - at and around Co-ed: N2 15.054 E102 25.926 you could hear the "tol plaza coming ahead" alert.

I suppose it should be on the other side of the road travelling towards the Toll Plaza.

Brother Mappers, please check.
Attached for reference - tol alert.gdb.

Thanks
