Road Alert Notification in Melaka

I just came back from Melaka.
The MFM map is really excellent! Super job!!!

I don;t know how to feedback so i just created a new post.

For the entire trip while driving around Melaka, the junction alert message keeps repeating.
For example, on the same stretch of road, i was stuck in traffic for 10 mins
For the whole 10 mins that my car was not moving, the "junction .... ahead" alert kept repeating itself like once every minute.
Sometimes, on certain roads when traffic was slow moving, it can repeat itself at the same frequency till i pass that particular junction.

Is it a bug with my Garmin 205W or the custom POIs need some updating?
I am not sure so i post.

The mappers can take this as a feedback if needed.

Thanks,
Bryan

I think the Proximity Alerts may have been set to "Continuous Tone" in your Nuvi205W.
You can change it to "Single Tone" to allow it to sound once.

In my Nuvi 205, it is Tools > Settings > Proximity > Proximity Alerts. Change the Audio to Single Tone.
This depends on User's taste & preference.
For me, I prefer a '"Continuous Tone" to keep me alert - of course, it can be irritating at times.

Hope this helps. Cheers.
