You are :welcome: . I have now compiled over 1,700 intersections and T-junctions, but will be trimming them. From my experience, small junctions into housing areas (out of town) tend to be spaced closely together and gets annoying to be alerted every minute or so. :cry:

The upcoming one will only contain major turn offs to other towns. Am planning to do voice tour guide files for Fraser's Hill and Cameron Highlands. =P~
cheers,

Yes, the audio and picture files are embedded together into the GPI file and stored in your POI folder. :wink:

Hi, stratman2

Tested the POI when I traveling towards Bkt Gambir town in Muar; Johor.
Its working fine, and serves its purpose for awareness. :thumbsup:
Though I'm traveling @ 70-80km during the morning, the sky is bright, and visibility is good.

Hi Edgar,

Glad you found it useful. :) Of course, if you're travelling along roads that you're already very familiar with, the alerts may get tiresome after a while. :nutz:
cheers,
