EUR version of speed cameras

[Gullman]

Hi

I have the UK and IE plus major roads of Western Europe (660.1219) map.

Is the EUR speed camera database approprite for this, or is this for different maps?

Does the EUR databse include all the UK Speed zoned ones too, or do you have to install the UK and then also the EUR databse?

Thanks for any help

You can use the UK and European database on that map without too many issues, but remember in Europe you will only have major roads and small coverage of the secondary roads so some warnings might not be activated.

The European download doesn't contain any UK cameras so you will need to install both file sets to the device- Mike

Ok thanks for information.

Quick question, I am hoping to install both the UK + EUR database. May I please ask if the EUR speed zoned database is set at Kmph or Mph?

The reason why I ask this is that I saw the following files:
pocketgps_eur_gatso_130
pocketgps_eur_gatso_120
pocketgps_eur_gatso_110
" 100
and so on.... isnt 130mph abit too fast for a speed camera limit? So i thought to my self the EUR database must've been set to kmph. In order to match with my other database setting in UK i started to convert them into mph... as I was doing it I also noted these other files:

pocketgps_eur_gatso_20
pocketgps_eur_gatso_30
" 40
and so on... surly these must be refering to 20mph, 30 mph, 40mph etc.??

Therefore I am bit confused... whether the EUR database is actually set on mph or kmph... if so I will need to make sure all the units are converted.

Please advice... much appreciated!

to the Forum.

Unless you use a Device that warns you according to the speed you are doing, it doesn't matter what's in the text.

As you don't indicate which Device you are using, it's difficult to give specific advice.

many thanks to your advice. I shall leave everything as it is and just upload them without changing anything - shall remember to change gps to kmph mode when I get to Europe.

For your information I am using a Garmin Nuvi 760. please let me know if there is anything else I should be aware of under this unit?

Thanks again for your help.

Sorry, one more question.

I am using the Garmin POILoader to load up the custom POI as speed camera data warning.

I read on the website that I should be load everything at once. IE if i am to have both GB and EUR data in my Nuvi then I must first extract both sets of data into 1 folder then upload both database at once to avoid custom POI overiding each other.

Is this true? if it is then I will have the following problem:
- As mentioned earlier in this thred, the EUR database is in kmph rather than mph. The GB database is in mph - the POIloader software will only allow me to specify either mph or kmph.... problem!

any pointers on how I should tackle this will be much appreciated... going on a 3000miles road trip cross Europe in only 3 days time and I am keen to sort this out!

many thanks.

PS: for the above database please assume that I would like to have both GB Speed Zoned + EUR Speed Zoned database installed.

Sorry, it was my fault you've been given some misleading information, by implying you were the one with a TomTom in an earlier post, that others then carried on with.

You are quite right about the fact that usually you need to load all the POIs at one and that with POI Loader you need to set it for mph or kmph at the time of loading.
The way round it was discussed only yesterday in another part of the forum (see THIS POST) and the way to do it is HERE

Hope that helps (more than my last answer!)
