Speed Camera Database for iCN 520

chill

Hello I am pleased with my iCN 520 I travel around the UK often up to 3000 miles per month and my 520 works very well.

On this website I noticed a free download for Speed Camera Database for most other models of Navman do you know when the Speed camera database download will be available for iCN 520?

Regards

Hi chill
The free download is the one you want, open it and you will see `csv files` (4th one down) open that and you will see `other` (4th one again) they are the files you want to copy to your 520. I have a 520 and they work a treat.

Hi shughie,
Thanks for your help :o)
I downloaded the files and all loaded to my 520, I am now going to try and figure out getting some wav files for the alert sounds.

Cheers

the wav files don`t work with the 520, you just get a ping, you can set a different bmp for each type of camera.

Sorry, messed up with the follow on question. I for one would appreciate some help dissabling all audible alerts with the exception of the camera locations. A procedure would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to this Land based NAV stuff and especially to the iCN520 menu structure. I find it hard getting around and knowing where I am!

Just go to Settings>Alerts>Active POI>chose a POI>deselect the option you no longer require .i.e Not Active/ No Audio Warning/ No Visual Warning. And finally the distance to the unit will detect the POI.

Do not forget that as long as the POI is active it will still display on the unit even though the Visual Warning is not enabled, as all this function does is give a title of the POI on the bottom of the iCN when it is detected.

That's all thats needed.

Hi, The instructions given were based on my iCN510, and may be slightly different for the 520.

Hope it helps.

Hi thanks for your help

Seems fairly simple untill you read to the end and the sounds have to be this bit rate and other things looks a bit scary 8O

Need some clever person to do the wavs for me Wink

Seems a lot of folk do not appreciate the differences between the 510 and the 520. From reading the other threads it is clear that the file structure is different. Sure I can dissable all sounds except those for the personal POI's but I cannot see how to change the oem sound to an alternative wav, whether that be a recorded spoken alert of someone elses effort.
In the Navman directory of the SD card there is a sounds directory. This contains the various language alternatives for voice directions. In the Navman directory itself there are two .ini files. "Curmaps.ini" and "dca.ini". The Curmaps .ini file is split into many sections, each having a line reading "sounds = " with no data entry after the equals. I'm sure that if we knew where to actually put the .wav file we could add a data entry here and it would have some effect. Anyone out there tried this?
