In my initial tests I was able to get the Speed Cameras with speed in POI. The ones supplied in the download area with my purchase didnt come with speeds in the POI. Examples of the CSV that I was expecting are ...

142.1536457,-34.1924080,Speed Camera@60
144.7115258,-37.8806369,Speed camera@80

Your files have this format ...

151.0097977 , -33.9789827 ,Speed Camera
145.0837054 , -37.9982104 ,Speed Camera

Is there another location - have I got the wrong set of files?

Thanks.

Hi
We are just upgrading our download zone. Speed limits were removed for 2 reasons: 1. we do not recommend using it; and 2. our download zone was not compatible with speed limits.

You are 3rd Garmin user who ever requested speed limits to be activated. Anyhow, we will include speed zones in our next major upgrade, within 2-3 weeks.

I just want to make clear: we do not recommend using speed limits for speed cameras on any Garmin device.

Regards

I hear you. I guess I understand your dilema in that you are offering a service that is supposed to be accurate.

The little experience I've had tells me that the same point still beeps on the Garmin. The added advantage is that when you are travelling above the speed limit, there is repeated beeps.

But I think the advantage this offers to the driver is worth it. Its no different to offering out of date files or missing one spot. There's always a risk. So I for one, do hope you release the additions soon.

Thanks.

How come there seems to be multiple topics related to having the speed listed in the speed camera csv files for Garmin, wouldn't it be better to move them all to one topic so it would be easier to see if there is much interest?

I'd like to add my vote for providing the Speed information in the Garmin speed camera csv files.

I see the current speed camera csv has speed information for some cameras but the majority don't so will more of them be updated in future or will we have to manually update them ourselves?

Cheers,
Mick

Hi
we are pleased to see that our registered users use new feature in our POI download zone. All registered users are able to add and edit POIs listed in our download zone.

Speed zones will be added as soon as we finalise testing the latest set of online POI tools. You are still encouraged to add any interesting or missing POI, or to provide any better description for existing points of interest.

Regards
