Hi Al.
I have found a way of displaying UK speed camera limit speed in MPH instead of Km/h.
You will need to do some mods to Data.zip\ui-mio\patch.ui.
Change it to be as follows.

~script sc_show_speedlimit~
txt_limit_text.show
txt_speed_limit.show
spr_speedwarn_bg.show
; txt_speed_limit.text $1
run sc_Convert_To_MPH vspeedlimit
~/script~

~script sc_Convert_To_MPH~
runif $1 48 'vspeedlimit.set 30'
else_runif $1 64 'vspeedlimit.set 40'
else_runif $1 80 'vspeedlimit.set 50'
else_runif $1 96 'vspeedlimit.set 60'
else_runif $1 112 'vspeedlimit.set 70'
txt_speed_limit.text vspeedlimit
~/script~

~script sc_show_avgspeed_or_distance~
runif vCategory 3 'run sc_show_avgspeed vAvgSpeed'
runifnot vCategory 3 'run sc_show_distance vDistance'
~/script~
(~ is open or close triang brackets)

This will only change 30-70 mph cameras, so should still work on the metric cameras abroad, although I have not been able to test this theory.
I am working on the average speed display for SPECS, but can't seem to make any progress, without a huge lookup table converting possible metric speeds into MPH. Any ideas anyone?

If you follow manual there, you can have speedcams with direction, check this site: http://www.gps-support.eu/speedcam_index.php

Welcome to the PGPSW forums. Welcome

I checked out your link, and although I have not checked out any of the cams in it, they 'only' have 5,000 odd cams for GB Sad

whereas PGPSW database has about 11,000. Very Happy

It seems from the instructions on their cam entry page that they are relying on the submitter's accuracy etc. Sad

If this is the case, it's not a good idea. PGPSW use independent 'verifiers' that check all submissions for accuracy of fixed cams and site viability for MOBILES. Very Happy

Many of the PGPSW cams have a direction associated with them. These directions have also been independently verified to be co-incident with the road angle at the cam site.
I'll leave it up to you which database to use

Hi All,

Long time listener, first time poser.. Imported my CSV file into MTC format and used the build utility, however, cameras don't show up on the map. YET..

I noticed MIO has about 5 types of cameras (one of them being GATSO). I'm in U.S. and we don't have many of these.

0.07***,51.45***,"GATSO:468@50"

In the above format, what's the name for a regular red-light camera? I saw in the ASC file there's also a REDLIGHT.. Also what is 468 above? I assume 50 is speed..

Thanks

The 468 is just the database reference to the cam. Th 50 is the speed as you correctly surmised. Can't explain why they don't show up though. Which Mio are you using?

The PGPSW database seems to use GATSO as a generic term for any make of fixed camera that catches you after you have passed it and is not specifically attributed to the Gatso manufacturer.
I believe that Sal's MTC maker, converts all fixed type cams (not redlight) into what is required for the Mio, but I'm certain that she will chip in and correct me if necessary.

Yes, as Trevor says the term GATSO is a generic term for all fixed speed cameras, except those at traffic lights. Cameras at lights are labelled REDLIGHT or REDSPEED (the two terms are interchangeable for this purpose since the Mio can label all redlight cameras with a speed if that is given in the input file). The other types are MOBILE and SPECS.
Unfortunately however it will not work for you in the US because there are geographical limits to the builder program. My understanding is that Mio devices sold in the US use a different file format, but I stand to be corrected on this if anyone knows differently.

My readings elsewhere lead me to suspect the the US Mio uses a speedcam database with the .spud extention. The format of these files is different to the .mtc files (and a lot smaller as they don't have so much redundant database space per record).
Incidently, the lat long of the cam that you used as an example is in southeast England

Sal, Don't tell me that the builder does not allow for out trans-Atlantic cousins. How remis of you Wink

Or is it more likely - No .mtc = No point Shocked
