I have just bought the new navman 635 and are trying to add the camera database to it, i am not good at this,I have down loaded the zip file to my docs, can open it and see all the files, do i then just open the Excel files and delete the 1st two columbs(all the Longitude and Latitude info) and then file them,or do i have to do anything with the other files pictures,etc.
Hope some one can undrstand me.

Many Thanks

I have looked at the instructions, do i have to remove both lines of Latitude and longitude, so just the description line is left, as i am not sure as on page 4 it shows them back again.
Sorry i am not good at this kind of thing Sad

No

You don't remove the first two columns as that would remove all of the coordinates you're trying to plot. Using Notepad you remove the top line only. (Long, Lat, "Name"). You should still end up with three columns, just the top row of words should be removed.

Many Thanks

Use them as well. There should be .csv files for Gatso, Specs, Redlight, Mobile, Temp and Continental. You could probably leave out continental unless you're going to mainland Europe. The others cover the different types of cameras.

I have been able to add some of the Gatso files to the 635 and the camera icon and they are working on the map. but it would seem that some of the exel files that i have tranfered onto notepad will not work it says wrong format.
Am I doing some thing wrong, I have been adding one file at a time is this correct, and only the exel files ?

The database files come in .xls and .csv flavour, which display virtually identical icons. The ones you want to use are .csv ones, which appear to have a lower case 'a' and an arrow in the bottom right hand corner of the icon. You can ignore the .xls files as they carry the same data in a slightly different format. Don't forget that each .csv file you want to import will have to have the top row stripped out using Notepad.

thank you all for the help, one last question is it necessary to down load all the BMP and OV2 file or can i use thr one BMP like the gatso.bmp for all the different cameras

You can use the one .bmp if you want to, but most people like different ones. You will have to specify the same icon each time, as the POIEditor will default to the .bmp with the same filename as the .csv file.

Have you followed the same procedure as with the gatso.csv file? i.e. open the relevent .csv file using Notepad and strip out the top row? The usual problem when you get the error you're describing is that you have either opened the wrong file (.xls instead of .csv) or you haven't stripped out the top row.
