| Posted by meng_yoke Speed camera POI files 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. |
| Posted by Mark Re: Speed camera POI files 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 |
| Posted by meng_yoke 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 Its no different to offering out of date files or missing one spot.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. |

| Posted by Mark Re: Speed Limit warnings Hi Our POI Download Zone is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). Our active users can download our POI database with full POI descriptions, speed limits, phone numbers, audio alerts etc. Regards |
| Posted by Guest Re: Speed Limit warnings Looking through the forum and this thread, I have reached the conclusion that you have decided not to include speed information along with your speed camera data. Is that correct? |
| Posted by Mark Re: Speed camera alerts Hi You have reached the wrong conclusion. As you can see, multiple Speed Camera POIs have speed limits included (lines ending with @xx). It can be used with any new GPS device (e.g. Garmin NuviGPS that supports speed zone alerts. Regards |
