You don't need any software to download the camera database to navman. navman actually uses the PC software to read in a csv file and convert it to the navman format, you then need to have active sync open so that the navman software can download the appropriate file to your PiN570.

The database can be downloaded from here

and then there are further instructions on the navman website under the support pages for smartST.

it eventually owrks and you can download cameras, there are also POIs for BP garages, etc..

hope that this helps.

michaeltee, I forgot to add that when you transfer th camera files from the desktop SmartST to the PiN, I found that it saved the files in a general directory on the PDA, which the smartST (SMART, I think is navman having a sense of homour here) on the PDA doesn't look at.

What I did to get it to work was to transfer the 4 files on the general directory on the PDA to a directory on the SD card it is under the navman then /mypoi ( I created mypoi directory as it didn't exist). This then seems to work.

just a note here, use active sync to move the files around its quicker than on the PDA.

If there is a mypoi directory elsewhere (eg. on the rom memory) make sure that this is empty otherwise I think it picks them up from that one first.

hope that this helps.

If you get them to work the PiN then seems to be fine and the camera's show up and if you tell it to will make a sound when you approach them.

Ive installed the GATSO Camera list on my Navman and its warning me like 50ft away from the camera, which is totally useless...

Any Suggestions?

On th Smart ST software I have on the PiN570 there is a setup menu you can select (second page of options on the PiN). On that you can scroll along the selections on the bottom to the active PI menu, you can the select the distance away it will warn you. Mine seemed to always default to 500metres which is OK, but if you select a much shorter distance you are on top of the camera before it goes bing bong...

So try that setting
