I moved your thread to a better suited forum section, the 720 is supplied with a Speed Camera database installed but you can only switch it on or off, it is not possible to add custom warnings (spoken) or alter the distance settings.
If you look into the Pocket GPS World speed camera database then you have full control over how the device is configured, better still the database from this site is more accurate and updated far more frequently - Mike |

Top left of every page is a large Yellow box about speed cameras, click that for more details, you need to be a subscribed member of the site to access the members area where the speed camera database is located - Mike |

It is easy when you know how, near the top of this forum index page are threads that are "stickys" look for the one entitled FAQ's and have a read of the options, vital is a full backup, then read the instructions for installing the speed camera database, there are two links for information on this topic, Roberts excellent guide and one I wrote which was for the 910.
As your device employs Text To Speech you might as well read them both before making up your mind. If you can copy files using Windows Explorer you can install the database, alternatively you can use the Home software to install the files - the choice is yours.
There are also options for the method of alerts, it can appear daunting at first, but have a read and if you are unsure about any specific part come back and ask for further advice - someone will allways be around to assist - Mike |
