To do this you will need the PocketGPSWorld Speed Camera database installed to the unit and configured to warn of the POI, this will only warn of the speed limit when approaching a speed camera as it doesn't contain road sign speed information (it is the speed cameras you need to worry about NOT the road signs)

You can also setup the unit to issue a verbal alert when approaching a camera so the device will say "Warning mobile camera ahead speed limit is XX miles per hour"
If this sound like the sort of thing you are looking for please let use know and we can supply links to the relevant pages for further information.

The Speed Camera database is only available from the members area of the site which is a subscription based package costing 2 pounds per month or 19 pounds per year try it for a month then decide on further usage, but you won't find better in terms of accuracy or frequency of updates.

You can indeed. Smile

Sit down and have a thorough read of THIS.

It will explain each step of installing the Camera Database.

Then all you need to do is Subscribe at this LINK to get access to the Camera Database.

BUT the very first thing you should do is a FULL BACKUP of the Device. You have only one Copy of the Map, and it's on the Device.

Trash that, without a backup, and you'll have a lot of problems.

Don't be put off coming back and asking more questions. Smile

Look at that - less than 1 hour from start to successful finish. Clap Doesn't it just make you want to put a picture of this up for all the dumbos to see?

Congratulations, bubblegumkitty and welcome to the forum. You have restored my inner being.

And if I respond in kind, Darren will come and send me to wait outside his office again. He doesn't have a go at agents provocateurs. Crying
