Garmin other database

Downloaded this one today and installed it into my freelancer 2, came around the a406 and there were cameras missing from it.

One possible reason was that it did no load on the first attempt but did at the second, also are the irish cameras on uk or Europe database?

Cheers

Charlie

Can you identify the "missing cameras" on the submission map so we can get the ID numbers, please?

Next, there are a couple of different download formats bundled under the "Garmin - Other" section. Are you using the .GPX format?

If so, you can open the file you downloaded in POIEdit and check to see if you can find the "missing" cameras by the ID number (or we could do it for you)

That way, we can determine if there is a problem with that download, or there's a problem with how it's installed or set up on the satnav.

I noted Garmin in the title.

This could be the Garmin logic of often not reporting POI cameras if it deems you are under the speed limit and not accelerating.

As a result there have been missing cameras reported before related to Garmin units but found to be in the PGPSW database = do as above and identify the camera(s) so they can be checked.

I've never seen that on my Garmins ... will have to experiment and see if I can verify that, maybe the later Garmins no longer do it Confused

I don't know the latest because I overcame that issue by using GPX.

I did notice it a few times on my 2200. When I checked the database Lat/Long the camera was there alright.
