i am looking to get the blue media pna unit from makro it looks the same as the medion pna175 (with the small areial) but in the makro book it says it comes loaded with the UK speed camera location alerts

this appeals to me as i wont have to faff about loading all the info off this site into the unit.

has anyone seen this? its on sale today.

regards

ive just got one from makro and the unit is a bluemedia bm-6300 and comes with destinator ND software the unit has the speed cameras loaded into it already but does not seem upto date as there are a few near me that dont apear on it - also i cannot seem to get it to voice warn me of them only a visual picture of them is on the screen

i am thinking of taking it back and buying a Navman iCN510.

has anyone got either of these 2 units - what should i do????

i once borrowed a transonic unit from a friend which had navtec 4 sorfware and its voice comands are better then the blue media unit

i am in limbo (will makro take it back?)

many thanks

When I brought my unit I was told can bring it back within 7 Days.
I will be taking mine back and stick with my Drive smart unit ant least it talks to me. But no A to z Map route finder Navigation.

I bought one and after a bit of trial and error i got the speed camera warnings to work.

You need to go into Favorites, turn on the cameras (eye icon) on any of the camera icons go to tools/settings and set the first alert to 400 and the second alert to 50 or 100 and save. This worked fine, if it stops working go back in and check the settings again.

As for the missing cameras you can add these in tools/add, you will need to find the last numberfor the camera (3555 i think) I found it easiest to do it next to the camera itself.

Hope this helps

when i had my unit it never had cameras on it that had been there for 3 years or more - i now have a navman and ive loaded the camera database into it off here and so far every single one is on it 10/10 for the navman + i can pick my distance for it to warn me i.e 600 yards away

brill unit

Hi,
just read your article. Where do you get the camera number from?
