2 moderators out of how many? It sounds like a manufacturing fault to me- after all flash memory usually come with at least a 2 year guarantee. So 17 months protected inside and non-r ...

Thanks for the info Mike.

Paying £75 doesn't seem like a good idea as without a map of any sort I have no way of telling whether it is really working.

I will search his laptop on next week and f ...

Thanks again David.

I now have a 720 that loads up albeit very slowly - I think the internal flash is damaged and causes problems.

I have connected it to a PC and it shows as 2 drives in device manager but neither have any media ...

Thanks for all your help Paul

30 secs and 15 secs which I believe is default.

Your csv into ash10 then to the Garmin using garmin poiloader

The gpx files are from ash10's utility.

I have no idea what format they take in the satnav so I haven't checked them.

Whoops 199 & 399 the other values were from a 20mph camera.

In the gpx files on the PC which have xml coding there are 2 entries for each camera.

These are the proximity values from the gpx ...

OK I have tested it with a local 30mph gatso.

I have deleted all my POI's and re-installed them. This made no differ ...

The file is now "tmobyle.csv". I think I read both messages and decide to implement both suggestions - it saved multiple attempts at getting it right.

The extra warnings are not over speed - unless ...
