NO CAMERA WARNINGS ON c510

Hi, I have a c510 with Garmin camera database. I downloaded pgps single zone cameras and in proximity points they are ticked as on. I also have the Garmin ticked. When I approach a camera I get a warning ,but only from the Garmin database. If I untick the Garmin I get no warning at all. Is there something else I should be doing?

Hi Chrisb80
You need to install the camera db using poi loader in manual mode - not auto
this lets you set proximity distances and warning sounds.
hope this helps.

Firstly, try downloading the POI Loader version of the Garmin PGPSW camera database, and then install it via POI Loader using the Express Mode (but make sure it's set to Feet and MPH).

Then check that you can see the various camera files by going into Where To? Custom POIs (you may need to select another option before getting to this menu). You should then see the different camera files.

PhilHornby - they only got back from CeBIT late last night, and I think they have concentrated on questions in the dedicated subscribers area whilst away.

Hi,I did exactly what Swing advised when I downloaded originally. Yes if I go into -where to-Custom poi's- it gives 3 options 1-all categories 2--pocketgps-uk-sc 3--pocketgps-uk-pmobile. If I touch any of these it shows me cameras in a radius of up to 10 to 30 miles. If I click on one I then get a screen that says GO. and if I touch on that it presumably takes me to that location, but as far as I can see there are no other options.

Hi Phil,yes the screen did show "alert information" etc. I looked at the link you sent, but still can't understand what is meant by loading wrong set of files, I thought you just chose between "single file" or"speed zoned etc. Anyway I always intended loading speed zoned along with some other pois. to replace the single zone, and already had them in a folder on desktop, so I have now done that and have literally got dozens of categories showing. I assume the only way to set them as on is by ticking the box on Custom POIs in the proximity alerts screen? I'll give it a try next time I go out and report back, thanks Chris.

Hi Phil, just drove simulated route and the cameras appeared ok. Will try it tomorrow and see if it's ok live. Great tuition , thanks Chris.

Hi again, I've now tried out the detector locally and on some cameras I now get a warning bleep with red info, but some give no sound and only show the image of a camera on the road, and nothing else. Is this how it should work with different camera types, or have I got to enter something else. Also if I want to download any other pois am I correct in assuming that, every time,I have to put these in the folder on my desktop containing my original camera database and existing pois, and then download the whole lot again, as I believe every time I download any pois it deletes any already loaded. thanks for any info, it might sink in one day.

Thanks for prompt reply Phil. with all the detail. I did wonder about the speed a couple of times, but this morning I was doing 65 approaching where I know there is occasionally a mobile,and it only showed an image on the map.cheers Chris I have the Garmin database and started the 90 day trial a couple of weeks back,but have unticked it to try the pgps download. In fact a couple of miles from mine the Garmin will alert to a mobile, and the pgps doesn't. Anyway I'm on a journey to the airport tonight, and I know there are a lot of cameras on route so I'll see what shows up. As to your way of setting pois ,I haven't yet got an SD card and I'm not quite confident enough or proficient yet to really get into it , but I'll keep a copy for the future. As to this Garmin trial does the database finish at 90 days or does it just continue without being able to update unless I subscribe,cheers Chris

Hi, during my recent journey it appears that my camera warnings are working. So thanks to Phil and others who replied. Phil was correct in pointing out that the bleep alert sounds only when you are going overspeed on approach.
