Trying to sort the last 'problem' I have on my I3..

Running 2.6 software with latest speed camera database.

Having downloaded and used the speed camera database since buying the unit I am still want to get to the bottom of how the unit works out and displays the speed associated with a camera site.

The speed camera CSV filesd efines the alert speed by @nn (ie when set to @30, I assume it means 30MPH).

The unit is set for MPH (imperial), yet the red banner warning when approaching a 30mph site calculates it in KPH, BUT displays it as MPH, ie 19MPH (which is 30MPH * .625 ~ 19KPH).

Have I missed a setting or do I need to increase all the @ figures accordingly ?

There was mentioned by someone else but I can not track the post, so any feedback would be great Confused

When you run the POILoader, at the screen wheere it asks which directory your files are in there is a field for the units. Make sure that is Feet and MPH.
