screen freeze when speed alert activates on nuvi42

Hi , with pgps speed cam database loaded and active on my garmin nuvi 42, when I trigger the speeding alert on screen (red banner showing speed limit) for more than about 10 seconds the screen freezes at that road position . The only way to cure this is to reset the sat nav. i.e. switch off and on again. This does not happen when using the Garmin pre installed data base . Any ideas or has anyone else had this problem?

Never seen that on any of my nuvis. Have you tried a master reset?

Ive just sorted out how to set up screenshot on the nuvi, is it easy to post a screenshot on here . As you may have guessed Im a bit of a dinosaur.

You need to get the file hosted somewhere (I use PhotoBucket) then post a link to the file on the forum.

You'll find the files in the Screenshot folder on your nuvi.

I haven't got a Nuvi42 but that red banner doesn't look like any PGPSW alert I've seen.

That looks like the standard Garmin alert on those models.

The red banner is the speed alert warning , if I was below the limit it would normally be a black banner saying speed camera alert . But over speeding freezes the screen at that point as you can see from the time and the speed on the right hand bar . This does not happen when the garmin database is used .

Well as I said, that to me looks like the standard Garmin warning Wink

What makes you think it's the PGPSW alert?

Because Ive got garmin safety cameras off in proximity point alerts and the only custom pois loaded are the pgps ones.If I turn the pgps ones off and the garmin ones on I don't suffer from screen freeze. I see this type of banner whichever dataset I use .Does this make sense ?
