Nissan Connect + Camera Database in Edinburgh

neilr65 · Occasional Visitor Joined: Dec 03, 2009 Posts: 9

Can anyone tell me if they have found any cameras showing up in the Edinburgh area. I have a Nissan Note with Nissan Connect and downloaded the GPS database. I then upgraded the built in Satnav in my car which appeared to go ok. I then drove to my nearest camera site and nothing registered. I have had a look at the map of Edinburgh on this website and can see no record of any cameras. As I'm new to GPS world, can someone advise me if I'm doing something wrong or is there no records of any cameras in my area?
I'm wondering if I have just wasted £20.00.

I've just loaded up our map and looked at Edinburgh and immediately see 4 x 30mph GATSOs 5 x Redlight cameras, and 2 x active mobile sites.

Whilst I appreciate you might have an issue, we'd hardly be the best data supplier if we ignored a major city completely would we Confused

Hi Darren,

Thanks for very prompt reply. I personally know of at least 20 Gatso and
about 10 RLC in this area. I have added two earlier this evening an in the fullness of time will add the remainder.

I beleive that Mobile sites are available from Lothian and Borders Safety Camera website.

I count around 23 fixed GATSO cameras inside the city limits. And around 20 Red Light/Red Speed cameras!

I doubt they are missing as many cameras as that without anybody else having reported this issue.

I drive in and around Edinburgh on a bi-monthly basis and haven't found the inaccuracies you describe!

Thanks for all replies,probably because I'm a newbie I'm missing something. As I drive around tomorrow I'll be more into the city centre, so hopefully they should register on my satnav. I have downloaded the latest database and not received any errors.

By the responses I'm getting it looks like I may have cocked up somewhere.

Cheers

Neil

Thanks Jock, only got near one camera today, the one at Newbridge, but I didn't get any activity on the satnav. I'm still learning how to use it properly, but it does seem to point out every petrol station in the areawhich I believe is also covered by POI, so I don't think I need to do anything else in the setup. I've also increase the warning distance to quarter of a mile.

I will download the database again tonight.

I also had a look at the thread, I think I'm doing things correctly and have created the .csv file.

Can you tell me if I add a camera to the database, does it go on immediately or is it verified first?

Thanks for help

Neil

Appreciate the inputs. I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I get the message it is downloading. Will double check everything and will submit any cameras as PMs.

Can you confirm that I should be able to see all cameras which have been added and verified on the map?. This is to save me wasting your time by submitting something which has already been done.

Cheers

As an addition to my last message. I've had a another look at the map. I've noticed a lot of 30mph signs at the locations of camera. Are these the indicators of a camera site?. Specifically on Corstorphine Road, west bound outside the Carphone Wareshop at the Zoo. I was expecting the standard camera warning sign.

A '30' roundel sign on the map would indicate a fixed camera win a 30mph limit. If you click the camera icon you will see a line of text at the top left of the map that shows more detail including the type i.e. GATSO:70423@30, Heading:188, Reversible

Mobile cameras have a Mobile Camera icon with speed and redlight has a traffic light icon.

Thanks Darren,

Looks like I got my wires crossed regarding camera indicators. I also have re read the installation instructions and I think I may have got it wrong. I created the folders myPOIs\myPOIwarning, but I copied a sub folder pgpsw-speed-cams-uw3k, which contained the .csv and .bmp files into myPOIwarning folder. I believe it was only necessary to copy the .csv and .bmp files into the myPOIwarning folder and not the pgpsw etc sub folder. Can you confirm pse.

Cheers

Neil
