The later versions detects the zoom level even when the tool bar is hidden. In short, it needs to be almost touching the dark burgundy section of the GPS icon to sound an alert. At this zoom level even one pixel is more than 2 km. Below this the scan range is set to 1 pixel of the map image only.
The POI Scanner is configured to work with a zoom level of the map above 50%. There is no need to know of a POI once it is passed and behind. The rearward scan distance is set to 10% of the forward and sides distance. A few seconds later, the second reminder alert will not indicate the approximate range since it is assumed the vehicle is moving and the distance has reduced. The first alert will also indicate the approximate distance setting.
When a POI is found to enter this area, it plays the sound alert. The size of this area varies depending of the preferred range set in the POI Settings and the zoom level of the map. Then it establishes a search area around itself, defined in pixels on the map image. How does the POI Scanner work? It first determines the GPS position on the map by finding the position of the first dark burgundy pixel of the GPS icon. You can also select any other sound file that you would like instead of the default sound files (in MP3 or wave format) by selecting the Sound Alerts tab of the POI Settings. Just unzip them in the same directory as the POI Scanner.
