Hello

no, but you could use the (free) radardroid and use our database with that (you need the igo database and choose to install database from sd card - takes an hour though...!)

you'd get the audio warnings from radardroid but there'd be no icon in navigon though.

Yep, not got my Hero to hand at the moment but on the settings there is an option of 'install database' and then you can 'install from sd card' instead of using the (terribly poor [for the uk at least]) database they offer.

i wasn't joking though when i said it takes an hour to install the uk database! you need to use the iGO database and it is directional too.

i'll add some proper instructions to the compatibility chart soon.

do you have a quick link to an app i can use for screenshots on android?!

There's no native screenshot function on an Android like there is on your iPhone, tho I think I may have read that Froyo/2.2 addresses that. For now, if rooted, there's several options with the best being DroCap2 according to users. But for non-rooted phones, you need to make use of the Android SDK afaik. Hard to believe a simple screen capture would be problematic. There's a pretty straightforward explanation here and once done it's actually pretty quick for future captures:

Im busy installing the DB from SD card, ZZZzzz Laughing Out Loud

Is there an option i have to disable In Navigon for the speedcam warnings or does radardroid just auto overide the setting? Does it matter which app is started first between Navigon and Radardroid?
Ive been trying Navigon out on my Nexus One for the free 30 day trial and im pretty impressed so far...except for the speedcam warnings.

Im also installing them by type rather than one consolidated file, is that ok?

Any help or advice will be gratefully accepted

Ok, im done...it took about 30 mins. It says 11946 cameras in the database, does that sound right?

Many thanks for the answers MaFt,
i'm using a Nexus One and the Db is Version 8.061 (02 Jun 10)

I also installed the pmobile.txt file as well so maybe thats where the discrepancy in the speedcam totals comes from?

Hi Guys

Have just installed radardroid and like others find the supplied poi db inaccurate hence have wandered over here.

Is installation as simple as subscribing, downloading and copying to the sd card and then following the instructions in radardroid? Or is there stuff (like removing the old db) that I should be aware of?

All help and tips gratefully received Very Happy

Thanks
