|
|
Can anybody help please, I have just purchased a Kenwood DNX5220BT which has a built in Garmin Sat Nav system. I followed the instructions from Garmin and subscribed to the Pocket GPS speed camera database and installed it using the Garmin POILoader.
However, when approaching a speed camera, it shows the correct speed for the camera on the map but the alert shows a red banner at the top of the screen "Speed Alert:19MPH" this shows whatever speed I am doing.
I have downloaded the database again and re-installed it but the same thing happens, can anybody help please? |

Welcome to the forum, when you install the camera database POI collection using POILoader make sure you set POILoader to MPH and not KPH which is the default setting, if you don't change the unit of measurement then you get warnings at the speeds you mention.
Its a simple checkbox/ radio button, this catches lots of people out when they first start using the Garmin system and POILoader - Mike |

I've added a warning to check this when installing on the Kenwood Installation Guide page. I'd added it to the Garmin one earlier bit it affects anyone who uses POILoader and catches a lot out the first time. _________________ Darren Griffin |

I've just burnt a new CD and loaded it into the unit, I'll post another response tomorow when I've tried it out on the local speed camera's to let you know. Thanks for your help - Adrian |

For information, your advise was spot on, I tested the unit today with the new GPI file .loaded using MPH instead of KPH and I now get the correct alerts on the screen, thanks again to you all for your help.
Kind Regards - Adrian |

Great to hear you are sorted out, now keep your eyes peeled for any cameras that are either missing from the database or need deleting to try and earn that lifetime membership. Any alteration no matter how small in your local area will benefit any other user of the database. if everyone adds a little detail on their local patch the accuracy improves for all users - Mike |
