Nuvi 205 Speed Camera Alerts

TerryWalsh · Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2009 4:02 pm Post subject: Nuvi 205 Speed Camera Alerts

I have loaded the Pocket Speed Camera speed zoned database onto my Nuvi 205. The problem is I am not sure if I am getting alerts for these or the original Garmin database. I have checked the alert for custom POI's and unchecked that for Garmin.

The reason I am suspicious is that the banner changes to red if I am overspeed which I understood will only happed for the Garmin database.

I am sure that the pocket GPS database is loaded as I can see it if I navigate to extras, custom poi's. Is there an easy way to check which database is alerting me.

Hi Paul:

Thanks for the reponse. I have seen Gatso once but mostly it says Speed Alert. The nearest camera to me is listed as a Pocket GPS mobile although in reality it doesn't exist to my knowledge and I pass the location at least twice daily. This one comes up speed alert. On a slightly different tack I have also been suffering from unreliable alerts as described in the subscribers forum. Last night I loaded pre converted gpx files. These haven't fixed the "speed alert" banner but I havent had time to test the unreliable alerts yet.

paul, i thought that a straight forward install gives you the 'speed alert' generic warning? if using ash10's or cbrom's software to always have warnings shown then you get the poi name displaying.

yes, i think the i3 had the poi name (GATSO:1234@30 etc)

best way to check is look under settings / proximity alerts and make sure the cyclops / garmin database is turned OFF and the custom pois turned ON.

THEN in where to / extras / custom pois make sure you have the pocketgpsworld.com camera categories

most advanced users can just delete cyclops camera database from their POI folder. it's obviously better to move those files somewhere in case if you need them in a future (i have a backup folder of the original folders from my garmin in case if something goes wrong).
