iCN520 HELP - Speedcams and other data

Hi there!
Just bought a Navman iCN520. Works very well with easy menus and directions. Only downside that first thing in the morning it takes 5-15mins to pick up the sats.

Anyway,
I followed the instructions for the Speedcam database from pocketgpsworld and was eager to try it out this morning. Passed three fixed cameras that have been there for years and no warning of them either visually or by sound. Any ideas?

Is there anyway to display my travelling speed at all times with my 520?
I'm sure I had it set up to do this when I bought it but since then have lost this funtion.

Thanks

Travelling speed should be shown in bottom right hand corner. You need to tap there and it cycles through a number of different displays.
Distance to turn>Heading>Time>Speed>Time to go>ETA>Distance to go>back to distance to turn.

When you sent the data from PC to iCN, did you ensure you have ticks in the three boxes (Active, Visual alert and Audio alert)? I always move the slider for Visibility Level to the far right, too.

In 2D mode, if I zoom out, losing road data, the speed camera icons remain in view. I have them set to "high visibility".

So, you should be able to find other cameras elsewhere, even if your local ones aren't included in the database.

I can however, see the ones on the motorway around the Glasgow area.

All I see in the Aberdeen area is a whole string of them on the A96. You'd better start marking them and sending them in for inclusion. :D

OK, you see them, I can't.
I'm going to start from scratch again later.

When I added the camera sites from the database I added the red lights, mobile and fixed sites all at one time. Maybe I should add each catagory one at a time.

Thanks.

Each of the redlights, mobile, gatso's, etc are a separate POI. You must put them in separately or you'll have problems.

That was the problem.
Fixed.

Many thanks :D
