First you should be able to search* for the alert that you want to test. If you couldn't then the .gpi doesn't work on Honda connect. Then once it show where it is, you must mark** the your starting point far enough away from the alert (for most alerts it should be at least 1km). Note the direction because it's directional. Then drive at least 1km passed it. The easiest alert to test is redlight because you can expect the alert icon near an intersection. But this is not where the alert start. It will be near it, look for the little white flag icon (it's hard to see and might be hidden or obscured by another icon/text sometimes) This is the starting marker for the alert so you have to set your starting point before that and drive toward the redlight icon. Only then the alert will triggered. Driving in the other direction should not triggered the alert since it's directional (that's why people like Cyclop)
* If you read the instruction of where you got the SP .gpi it said
Instructions:
1. Put .gpi file under the ../Garmin/POI directory
2. Make sure "Custom POI's" is checked under Settings->Proximity Alerts->Alerts
3. Search for alerts under Where To?->Categories->Alerts Australia by osiris4isis
** In simulation mode you can tell the GPS where you are currently at (and not where it currently find you)
