I have the same problem as you with a confusion between the sound alarm fod the speed limit and the radar sound alert that are the same.
I wonder why ( under the Turbocc's control ) if doubling the radar POI file would not be a solution. You add a second POI files ( named differently " RADAR PRE ALERT") with the same GPS position the radar file. But you extend or reduce the alert zone in order the it does not sound at the same moment the original alert. If you reduce, the zone you use for example a "Emergency Horn" wav file, that will make you undertand that radar is very close .
By the way we have now a new problem in France. By law ( Feb 2012 ) it is forbidden to indicated precisely where are the radars, and by law the radar position map makers have to add many kilometers of dangerous zone that can or cannot include really radars. The dangerous zones are decided by the state, and obviously every 5 kilometers you enter a new dangerous zone that will extend for 4 kilolometers. Due to this the radar function is not any longer operative !
Is there a software able to edit a garmin GPI file ( the last updated and dully purchased), to identify where are the true radars ( real radars have bearing ) , clean the fake ones, and recompile it in a GPI file ?
