Alarm for school ->Zones<-

[ptlycldy]

Is there a method, or has anyone suggested to TomTom that they make a method, to have a separate school POI category of School Zones?

I set the Safety Settings to warn when driving near schools. It was constantly going off. Turns out the Schools POI category includes Karate dojo's as schools, church day care centers, etc. While nobody wants to encounter a child in the road, the overly broad category of schools really doesn't alarm you for the case of encountering a true school crossing or reduced speed zone near a school. It just cries wolf all the time, frequently several blocks away from a day care center.

Don't think the issue is so much a need for a separate category as it is for TomTom to try to get a reliable data file for their built in poi.dat.

Right now, it's fairly crappy in many areas, sadly.
