Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:35 am Post subject: Clarion NX700E
I am about to order the above 2DIN sat nav unit to be fitted into my new car. However I can't see any reference to it in the database files sections. Does this mean that it is not supported? I don't know anything about the unit so can't say what system it runs.
I have just read the online manual and it says:
"Can Road Camera Safety Locations be uploaded in a text file - Yes"
Does this help?
In addition to the built-in data, new maps and content updates can be downloaded from Clarion's portal site to your PC and easily transferred to NX700E through its SD card slot.
However more specific information is not forth coming (regarding type of data, format, what can be done with it regarding alerts etc)
I don't know anything about it either. Is there a manual or spec sheet that states whether it supports custom POIs?
Not unusual for these in-dash systems to have no such support though, sadly.
This is copied from the user manual:
________________________________
Managing POIs
You can select which POI groups to show and which ones to hide on the map, and from which zoom
levels POI icons are visible. At the same place you can manage your saved POIs. A saved POI can
be renamed, moved to a different POI group, its icon can be changed, or a phone number and
additional information can be added to it. Tap the following buttons: , ,
.
2.4.10 Road Safety Cameras
The location of a Road Safety Camera is a special POI. These cannot be searched like other POIs,
and there is a special proximity warning only for cameras.
Is Clarion NX700E shipped with a built-in database of Road Safety Cameras? No
Can you upload Road Safety Camera locations from naviextras.com? Yes
Can Road Safety Camera locations be uploaded in a text file? Yes
Can you save the Cursor as the location of a Road Safety Camera? Yes
Saving Road Safety Cameras
To save the location of a Road Safety Camera, place the Cursor ( ) at the desired location, then
tap the following buttons: , , .
Note! This button is not displayed when GPS position is not available or if you are in certain
countries where Road Safety Camera warning is prohibited. Even if the button is
available, you are responsible for checking whether it is legal to use this feature at your
location.
Camera warning
The warning for Road Safety Cameras can be turned on in Warning Settings. Tap the following
buttons: , , , .
When you approach a Road Safety Camera with the warning enabled, the following happens:
Visible Warning: The type and distance of the camera is displayed in the secondary Turn
Preview field (for example ).
Audible Warning: If there is no speed limit specified for the camera, or your speed is under the
specified speed limit, single beeps warn you about the camera.
If you exceed the speed limit of the camera, the following also happens:
Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in the corner of the map (for
example: ),
Audible Warning: A special alert sound is played.
2.4.10.1 Camera types
There are different types of Road Safety Cameras.
Icon Type Description
Fixed Some speed cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction,
measuring one or both directions of the traffic. They measure your
current speed. For these speed cameras you can specify the
controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. Clarion Mobile Map
warns you when you approach these speed cameras in the measured
direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near the speed
camera, Clarion Mobile Map plays a special warning sound.
Mobile Some speed cameras are operated from vehicles. They do not always
work and they are not set to check a preset speed limit. The warning is
similar to fixed speed cameras, but as there is no speed limit given,
only the proximity is announced.
Built-in Some speed cameras are built into traffic lights. They work like fixed
speed cameras, but they are difficult to spot. The warning for proximity
and speeding is the same as for the fixed speed cameras.
Section control These speed cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current
speed but your average speed between the two speed cameras. Both
identify your car and record the exact time you pass them. They use
the difference between the two points in time to calculate your average
speed.
Clarion Mobile Map warns you when you approach one of these speed
cameras, but as you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average
speed is measured until you reach another speed camera of this type.
If your average speed exceeds the speed limit between the two speed
cameras, you receive the same special warning sound as with the
other speed camera types.
In the rare case Clarion Mobile Map cannot register the moment you pass the second speed camera (for example, it is placed at the exit of
a tunnel where GPS position is not yet available) the warning
continues. Just tap the speed camera symbol displayed on the screen
to stop the warning.
Tap again to display the second route event with the possibility to open
the Itinerary.
Red light These cameras check if you obey traffic lights. The warning is similar
to mobile speed cameras: as there is no speed limit given, only the
proximity is announced.
2.4.10.2 Camera directions
A speed camera can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or even several
directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. The same directions apply to
red light cameras. Clarion Mobile Map warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly
measured direction. The measured direction of the camera appears with the following symbols:
Icon Description
The camera checks speed in the direction into which you are driving.
The camera checks speed in the opposite driving direction.
The camera checks speed in both directions on the road.
The camera can check speed in any direction.

I can send the user manual if it helps? The manual also says that Speed cameras are available from www.naviextras.com.
