WARNING. On the latest Mapsource 6.5 upgrade, the Import and Export tags on File menu have disappeared. Anyone any idea how I can now import your most excellent Speed Camera database?

regards to all.

Try:-

You use POI converter as advertised on the Forum, convert the ov2 files into GPX/wpt files, save them and 'open' the new files in MapSource.
Mapsource 6.5 has been improved to handle .gpx files!

To use all the cameras will slow any device up 5000+.

Just completed a mamoth task!
Instead of the Camera number I can now see 40M24--[40mph-MobileCamera-Number of unit]. It's important to know the camera is there but equally to know what the limit is!!!!
I use Garmin iQue3600 in the car and eMap for walking. I remove all cameras above my 'corridor' Pembrokeshire to London and Dover and below, so reducing the 5300 to 2400 of useful locations. I can easily add other areas as needed.

I have written a program which can convert the database (.csv file) directly to Garmin Mapsource files (*.gdb or *.mps) so there's no longer a need to import *.wpt files into Mapsource.

You can download it (free) here:

I originally wrote the program to convert Geocache files (*.loc & *.gpx) into Mapsource and I recently added the speed camera functionality.
