Incorrect speed on speed camera alerts

Hi everyone.
I dont know if I am doing something wrong, or if there is a problem with my garmin sat nav, but the last 3 speed cam updates are showing incorrect and odd speeds. for example, in a 30 limit is shows a speed alert of 19 MPH. None of the speed alerts are showing me the correct limits.
Can anyone help me, or has anyone experienced the same.
Best regards to all.

I think the clue here is that 19mph is 30k/h. You have a imperial/metric mismatch somewhere.

You've got POILoader using km/h instead of mph.

....so you have to re-load them again, this time with POILoader set to MPH.

Don't feel bad about it though... this is one of the most regularly asked questions, so you're not alone! Smile

Hi
Thanks guys. All your responses are much appreciated.
I did consider the settings of the poi loader, but I didnt check it before I posted the query, mainly because I dismissed it when I looked at my speedo and found that 30 mph was 48kmh. silly really. I should have checked.
Anyway, thanks again to all of you. Its working fine now.
Best regards to all.
