    did the speed warning thing a few years back using mapsource. create a waypoint where the speed limit is posted and name the waypoint like this for example, "rizalave@40". the street name should always be followed by the @ sign and speed limit (ie 40). save the file as a gpx file then send to your gps. this gives a visible and audible warning when the speed trap is approaching.

    hope this helps.

        How do we extract all the POI in the existing map? so that we can save it in GPX file and use POIloader.
