Importing Speed Camera Locations for Satnavs

Fr0dders · 24 Jul 2006 at 22:25

is there any way of adding speed camera locations as custom POIs into your satnav

i read somewhere theres a database you can buy, but couldnt find it when googling.

Any other application that either doesn't accept customisable POIs as a CSV import or offer any third party hooks to allow developers to write plug-ins to warn you of cameras will not be able to support the database.

wohooo

thats mine supported

reaches for wallet

thanks

have to say my 520 was an absolute bargain for £190. Does european mapping, custom POI, postcode navigation, turn by turn, voice instructions, etc.. etc..

even comes with PC software so you can edit your POI, update software, and add in the european mapping.

Navman 520

bargain for £190 considering features (c above)

the tom tom with european mapping was £300

You're welcome. I have Tom Tom on my mobile which does postcode searching and I managed to get the speed camera database before it cost any money. £50 for a GPS unit and I was on my way

You can with the BMW Sat Nav as I've got it on mine.

Download the Speed camera database in ASC form from Pocket GPS World, you need to subscribe to download, about £2 a month.

/Edit. It can be a bit hit and miss though so don't rely on it 100% I use an Origin B2 alongside it.
