GPS speed limits

I have recently installed the speed camera POI to my BMW navivator III all seems well except for when I encounter speed camera's the speed shown is way beneath the actual speed limit. For instance in a 30 zone I was shown a 19mph limit and in mosty 40 zones it showes between 21 and 25 mph. I have checked and all is set to miles per hour.

Hi, Don't know anything about your sat nav, but a common problem on the Navman's is to download the database in KPH instead of MPH, you have to delete it and download it again in MPH, or something like that, don't know if it is the same for yours, 19KPH is 30MPH, so it may be the same.

i have a feeling that the bmw system is garmin based did you set a speed limit or distance limit in the poi loader when you sent the files to the nav system

Remember it is not the units your sat nav is set to but rather the units POILoader was set to when you used it to load the POIs

The unt is realy a Garmin 2720 with a few mods and again yes I have reloaded and made sure mph is set.

When you say you have made sure mph is set are you talking about on the sat nav unit? If so is not what you need to check - you need to check what is set in POI Loader, because all of your symptons are classic for that being set for kph, rather than the sat nav unit.

I understand, when the poi loader comes on it askes for either mph and feet or kph and meters, I highlite mph and feet then next then it loads your POI.
