|
|
I downloaded the speed camera database and ran them through the warning distance converter (available on an earlier topic). I then installed them on my Grmin 2720 and tested it. All worked fine but I get a warning on the screen which comes up with a speed, usually 31 or 34 mph. Why is this? The speed camera it warns of is usually a 50 mph one. Also it seems to warn me of a camera if there is a flyover crossing the motorway usually at Junction 5 of the M3 but also recently on the M1 from Leeds to London. Any help is greatly appreciated. I would have thought that it would only warn me if I was actually exceeding the speed that the camera was set up for, or is that too much to expect? |

Did you select kilometers and not miles in POILoader? |
