From the site:-
| Quote: | and a single , all camera types, file
pocketgps_uk_sc.*
which is only available in the ZIP file download.
|
In the zipfile is a folder called Single file version, and in that folder is another folder called asc file. In that folder is the file pocketgps_uk_gatso.asc; this is the single file in Navman-ready format.
Yes, you only get a general warning and the bitmap on your screen won't tell you the limit. Just import the .asc file into your unit using the Navman Desktop POIEditor application.

So its the .asc i need to use then?? Bit confussed now as was reading HERE and it said csv ???
Also when I put them on the unit does it know which bitmap to use?? AND will these fit onto the standard SD/MMC you get with the unit or am I going to have to buy a bigger card??
Cheers
Darren

The instructions need updating to reflect the fact that the .asc files on the site are already Navman friendly; previously one had to edit the .csv files. Have a look in the single file version folder and see if any of the subfolders have the word bmp in them. That would be the place to look.

.asc it is then :D Thanks
- Will it fit straight onto the standard SD/MMC card or do i need to buy a bigger one??
Yeah theres a bmp in the single file versions folder.... BUT what I ment is when I import the .asc onto the 520 using the program you started HOW does it know to use the bmp that already comes with the unit as the speed camera one - as aparently you get a speed camera image with the unit.
Thanks :D

Sorry, I don't own a 520 so have no idea on this one. If your bitmap doesn't show, point the POIEditor to the one in the zipfile; at least you'll have one. :D
If your card is 128Mb, it might be tight, depending on which maps you have installed, but if it is 256Mb there should be plenty of room.

No problem... maybe someone will know - If not then I will use the one in the zip file :D
Yeah its 128mb and UK maps are on it which takes 118mb If I remember correctly. How many mb is the datebase?? *cant check as not at home*
Thanks

I see... what are the advantages of that?? And can I do this now even though I have already put them on the unit??
Also do you find 150 enough warning?? I have left it at that.... just not sure how many seconds that will give me say I was on a 60mph road.
Many Thanks ;)

The one advantage I know of is that you can see the POIs whilst zoomed out more. I have my warning set to 1/4 mile.

The Pizza Hut file on the site you mention hasn't been edited properly! I will tell Ian, but all you need to do is open the file using Notepad and add a semicolon to the beginning of the first line; it will then work just fine.

I have all the cameras in separate POI's according to speed. I also have it set to a quarter mile. I'd rather have too much warning than not enough. |

Tim Buxton / simon1 - Its that 1/4 mile no matter what camera gatso/mobile/specs etc... ??
And also no matter what speed??
- IE People are telling me to have more warning the faster you go...
As aparently a mobile one can you get upto 1000 metres away which is more that 1/4 mile!
WILL try and sort the Pizza Hut one myself then :D
- But if you can let him know thats also great.
ALSO is there anywhere else to get them from as on my mates TomTom he has KFC, McDonalds, vauxhall garages etc... ??
Thanks again :thumbs:
