Hi nitrox32,

Welcome

to the forum! Thumbs Up

Be default you will get a bleep (or a cuckoo, or a cow, etc) however you can use different free files that give a more meaningful alert. You also get the camera icon displayed on the map if you want it to.

Please have a look here for further information.

Regards,

You get an icon on Screen that indicates the location of the camera, another icon that flashes at top left oif screen and you can configure either one of the standard beeps and bongs as an audible alert or replace these with our POI Alert sounds which have warnings such as 'Bong...Gatso' etc.

I have tried to download your speed camera files for Navman. Opening the zip file gives me two sets of files, ones that contain the small camera logos and ones that contain .asc extensions, which my computer cannot recognise. Gone is the easy format of downloading the camera positions. The Navman upload system is hard enough on it's own, now it seems the system has become impossibly difficult and will in fact not work. Whilst I accept you need the subscriptions this seems to have reinvented the wheel, only it does not go round! Or am I just thick?

Navman's POI Import is compatible with .asc files, thats why we use them!

Thank you Darren, but my computer now does not recognise the.asc files. I have unzipped the file into it's componant parts, that's where the trouble starts because I can't open the .asc file extensions. I have tried all manner of ways to open them but none work. This new system is far too complicated for a simple computer user like me!!!

Is the camera database compatible with tomtom one 5.42 software. Don't want fancy voice alerts or speed alerts. Just an icon and bell or noise will do?

Further to my messages, I have tried to carry out an upload into my Navman iCN650. The machine accepts the logo files as before but does not accpt the .asc files and I suspect the retained camera info I had is now corrupted! On the previous versions of the camera database, it was necessary to unzip the files and open the ov2 files in notepad, before uploading into the Navman. My computer does not recognise the files, I can't therefore open the files. My Navman does not recognise the .asc files. Where do I go from here please?

Hi Andy,
Under the old system, you had to download the zip file and then unzip it into it's componant parts, open the camera files in notepad, delete certain wording, save the amended files then upload into the Navman. This is still shown in the instructions, as the way to do it for Navman equipment. I am still following those instructions. However it does not work, either by trying to open the files and amneding them, or a straight upload into my Navman iCN650. That's where I am stuck.

Hello all,
I have tried once again to upload onto my Navman iCN650, this time I totally ignored the instructions still printed in the general download intructions for the Navman units, on this site. My Navman didn't recognise the .asc files, so I cleared my POIs completely and started again with a "clean" memory. This time the files went into the machine correctly.
Now, I don't know why this happened, except upto this download I have used a different file extension on the download files. Whether this had something to do with it, I know not. But now the system is working.
TGhank you all for your replies and help.
