Odd GPS Beeping sound
One day last week my GPS automatically stored a location near my job and since then it beeps when I'm close to that area. I deleted the stored location immediately last week but it continues to beep non stop and has a weird red centered cross hair when in that area. Also, several "I" icons show up on the screen as if there is "information" I can click on.
Does anyone know what's going on? It automatically stored a friend of mines address once too but I don't get the beeping sound.

The beeping stopped after I removed my memory card and deleted some files placed on it by the Command system. I still don't know why or how they got there.

had that happen to me recently too. I figured out that it was not only because I stored the location, but I inadvertently made it a personal point of interest.
In my navigation settings, I had the system configured to provide an audible alert anytime I was at/near a personal POI.
Once I figured that out, I simply removed the location from the POI (didn't have to remove the stored location) ... and all was back to normal.
