I have downloaded the speed camera data base on to my i2 and it works ok, except I keep getting speed warnings i.e. 30mph in 40mph zones. Its where there is short stretches that changes from 30mph to 40mph and then back to 30mph. while I am in the 40 zone I am still getting 30mph warnings and it drives me mad as it interfers with voice instructions.
I only want the camera warnings can this be done? can the speed notifications be switched off?

The i2 doesn't know the speed limit of the road you are on so these must be speed camera warnings, for cameras that are "off route". For example when approaching a 40mph dual carriage way if you are still on a 30 mph road then you will get 40mph warnings if a 40mph camera is close by even if not on the same road you are on.

When it happens what does it say at the top of the screen?

The default warning distances are massive, that's what's really causing this problem - you might want to have a look at reducing them to something more manageable.

As Ash10 has mentioned there is a tool avalible here (can't remember who makes it Laughing ) that can be used to adjust the warning timings.

Have a look at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=43111
