Nice work NOMAD.

Arguments for and against:
  • Alert POI will be stored directly in carindb database
  • Alert POI will be always visible (instead of city centers)
  • Map query interval can exceed 3 seconds during map scale change
  • It does not matter what road you're driving then approaching alert POI
Just a few questions, if I may.

1: Does this mean that you can have different POI icons for each POI type?
2: Can the voice file be different for each POI?
3: Do you need to use navspeak to add a modded voice file.
4: Will this effect the postcode search routing (AFAIK, when you only have a partial postcode, you get directied to the "city centre" bulls eye?).

Is this feature really necessary ?

I need to know it before writing POI converter.
Thanks for the work you have put in already, I'll be happy to help if I can (testing wise).
