Navman and Speed Cameras

padres · Occasional Visitor Joined: Mar 22, 2005 Posts: 14

Hi, I am a techno idiot but I want to download speed camera locations on to my Navman Icn650 but I am not confident enough to do it myself. Is there anyone in the Nottingham/Derby area who can do it for me? I will pay a reasonable fee and travel.

I have tried and tried but cannot get the download to load. When I go to open the temp file in POI editor it says it cannot open that type of file. What am I doing wrong. Please someone help.

Have you edited the temp file in the same way as all the others?

What do you mean - the same way as the others - what others. I opened each of the individual files to delete the first line (they seemed to be excel spreadsheet files, is that correct?) and saved them but there are then other files with the same name but with a comma so do you have to change the first line on all of the files. Also when you transfer them to the Navman do you have to do each individual file ie 20 odd files ? Told you I was a techno idiot. Thanks for your help.

Have you read the first message in this topic?

You need the files which end in .csv and you need to edit them with Notepad, nothing else.

Also, read this page, but ignore any reference to .ov2 files and Tomtom Navigator!

Okay, done that but at the end I get a box that says "No POI's found on input file". What am I now doing wrong please.

Did you use Notepad? Does your top line contain data or a space?

When I open the file it opens it on Microsoft Excel. I have deleted the top line ie Longitude,Latitute,Name and so the first line is now a GPS location. and saved it. Am I doing wrong at this point? How do you open the file in Notepad?

Right click the file and choose Open with... select NOTEPAD

Hi Ian,
I do not get 'open with' when I right click - I am on Windows XP - does that make a difference. Sorry I am being so thick. It is driving me crazy trying to make it work and I appreciate everyones help and I apologise if my thickness causes any frustration.

Sorry - told you I was thick. Found Open with notepad and done it - there are no spaces.

Make sure you are opening the original .csv with NOTEPAD and not your previously saved excel file then follow Tim's advice again and you should be good to go.
