S90i / S70 - Does the SP2 fix POI limit?

LavaChild · Occasional Visitor Joined: Sep 05, 2008 Posts: 41

Hey,

I'm interested in a S90i or S70. No other sat navs appear so feature rich at a similar price. I inteded to purchase a sat nav and sign for the camera updates here but the noted limitation worries me to the point I am put off purchasing the Navman.

I've noticed on the Navman site that there is an SP2 update. Can anybody tell me what this does? Does it remove the POI limit?

Cheers!

All current Navman / Mio models are effected by the 12000 custom POI limit, although it hasn't proved to be anywhere near as much of a problem for me as some others on the forums

Just use the Navman built-in (excellent for fixed locations), and PGPSW for mobile cams

Would recommend the just released 3D models (which are usually found cheaper than the older standard modes, inspite of newer mapping and more features) because of the better mio influenced pricing

New edition Navmans are also expected November time

I believe the 12000 limit is causing my unit to crash. I can not account for the crashing any other way as it has been "repaired" three times and still crashes with POI's loaded near to the 12000 limit.

I asked Navman when the new software would be released and what the cost would be. The person I contacted denied any knowledge of any forthcoming major release.

It IS the 12000 limit that causes the units to crash - although in my experience, anywhere near this also causes problems, so keep it below 10,000 or there abouts and you should be okay

The expected release of the mio / navman units has been reported on several websites, although no exact details

It is anticipated that they will build upon 3D with true elevation mapping and lane guidance (getting Mio back to the facilties it offered with its C620 before Navman, so it can offer previous Mio owners the opportunity to purchase new mapping and software) - continuing with the live POI Mio Navman Connect and a unit with built in SIM too

Guess we will see all this start to emerge sometime next month

Or next June if Navman release dates are on par with their previous efforts!

I am interested in this issue as I along with others have has the S70 reboot for no apparent reason. I must be running close to the 12000 limit but I don't know how close.
How do I find out? Any clues please.

I have tried to find out from Navman what the situation is re the 12000 limit. I followed the advice found elsewhere on this site as to the removal of the RoadPilot data. OK, I managed to remove the cameras from my unit, BUT the limit stayed the same when I came to add the PGW data!! I contacted Navman to seek a solution with the following response.

"This can be updated when you update the map since the POIs are embedded on the map data."

Great Help!

Has anyone successfully remove RoadPilot and installed PGW data? If so how?

The unit concerned is a Navman S70 wideangle (Currently no updates for RoadPilot available!)

Thanks for the reply which now makes sense of the situation. So to recap, I am stuck with out of date RoadPilot data but can add up to 12K of other data (cameras etc). I should however try to remain below 10K to reduce the possibility of spurious reboots.
Does any one know if this 12K limit is being raised?

Just to clarify, will someone explain what constitutes 12,000. For instance, if I download the Navman consolidated Safety camera files for this month, how how does that relate to the 12k limit? Rolling Eyes

So, it's a balancing job. I don't need pictures, that's what I use a camera for, so then I should able to load a months set of PGPSW safety cam files.

Yes fine, but I have a S70W with no navpics on it!

Hey All,
Am having issues with my S80 crashing, i figures its down to the amount of POI's i have installed.

Just trying to figure out the 12000 part. I have a csv file with 2000 entries and that is it - no where close to the 12000, however i did have more installed a few days ago when it started crashing - it still seems to crash even though i have deleted most of them.

any ideas? my navman is only a week old.. i'm thinking maybe i should return it to halfords and get something different.
