Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am very slow! I can see when you upload the Speed Camera POIs to the Navman that in the name it gives the speed limit (for the Gatsos anyway), but on my 520, it just shows "warning Gatso" when you drive near it. Is there any way to get it to show the speed too, as it seems to be in the description field of the .csv, but doesn't get shown on the map screen?

You can choose whatever name you want for a POI which is chosen during the upload process. You are limited to 8 characters so I just call mine GATSO20, GATSO30, etc.

Sorry, I should have said that I used the .csv that has all the different cameras (GATSO, red light, etc) in one file. But when you open it in notepad, the descriptions for each camera seem to have the speed limit in the name. But, when you drive near one with the 520, it just comes up on the (3d) directions with a "bing" and the text "warning, Gatso" below the map, but doesn't mention the speed which seems to be in the description of the .csv file. Sorry if I'm being stupid, or its meant for another system.

Simon, do you rename yours before importing into POIEditor? I find that I can't use 0 when renaming within POIEditor, but it is accepted if the file already has a 0 in it before importing. To ease this, I use a O instead of a 0. i.e. GATSO3O instead of GATSO30. _________________ Tim

I rename it inside the POI Editor and also just use the O instead of a zero.

I assume that the file you use is called Gatso so the Navman sees all the POI's as a GATSO. If you use the separate ones you can name them what you want which is a lot more useful really.

Thanks for the reply Simon. I was just wondering if it can get the info from the descriptions in the .csv file, but I guess not. I'm still very happy with my 520!
