Hello,

I have recently brought a Garmin C310 and have spent ages trying to download the speed camera database. I read through the guidance notes below but still couldnt get it to work. I can download the database to my PC, but now icon is found and the Garmin POI loader says there is no CSV data files (or something along those lines).

Im sure it must be something very basic that Im doing wrong - would anyone be able to let me know what I do need to do so the Loader recognises a file to download??

Cheers

I'd rather like to have the overspeed indication only occur if I'm a few mph over the limit. So if I were to:-
1) Open up the zip
2) open up the CSV files and globally substitute the @30 for @33 say, @40 for @43 etc etc
3) Rezip
4) Process the zip file as normal with Ash's utility.

Would this have the desired effect?

Fireblader............

Oops, I've just re-read your post. Remember Ash's utility requires the single large gpx file and not the individual csv files you mention.

You can run Ash's utility by dragging and dropping the large single gpx zip file as normal. It will put the separate unzipped and modified gpx files in your POI Loader default directory. At this stage the file will contain the standard speeds for the alert as you set using the utitilty buttons.

You can then open each gpx file individually using any text editor such as notepad or wordpad. I used wordpad and did a "replace all" to change the @30 to @33, then @40 to @44 etc. Then save the file back into your POI LOADER directory. Repeat for the mobile gpx file as you wish.

My next job is to try and separate out the various camera entries by speed and make individual gpx files in a similar way to the csv files. This should enable me to attach a different bitmap icon to each speed so I can go back to the nice speed limit sign instead of the ugly Gatsco camera. :P

I think that Marty is pushing things to the limit relying on a 2 Mph margin before getting done. I wouldn't want to risk a fixed penalty and 3 points on my license to such a fine tolerance, but I suppose 'you pays your money, and you takes your chance'.

IMHO Ash's application is perfect as it is.

Hey, does this immense app work for a Nuvi 350, or just the i3?

Anything that uses the POI Loader software and can handle GPX files.

Can anyone confirm that it works for the nuvi too? If it does, I'll change the name/title bar in the next release...

I've downloaded the speed-camera file (the one with 23 seperate files in) and it appears that this superb little utility doesn't like it.

On the other hand it copes admirably with the smaller file ...

Will this be fixed in a future release - or (more than likely) am I doing something wrong ?

Cheers

Hi! First time poster!

I got an i3 today, and this speed cam database plus this warning thing is sweet... I'd just like you to confirm a few things Smile

Firstly, I downloaded the PGW speed-cam database, then dragged it into the warning/time tool, then followed the instructions, by loading up the POI Loader and updating the i3 with the original PGW database, have the ''doctored'' POIs gone onto my i3, and will I get warnings?

Sorry if this is a dumb question etc! Smile

Also, when I switched the i3 on, all my custom POIs had gone?

Whenever you send any POIs to an i3 ALL the previous are deleted first.

So if you have Custom POIs for Asda, Speed Cameras and Tesco and a new update comes out for the Speed Cameras then you need to load the new Speed Camera database with the old Tesco and Asda database. Other wise you'll only have the Speed Cameras.
