Hi,
I seem to be having problems with the overspeed warnings.

I've loaded the cameras onto a Nuvi 660T (ver 4.20) using the latest Full version of the software.

The cameras are sorted by Speed Limit and Type and the timings are unchanged except the redlight camera where I have set the overspeed time to 0.

But, I seem to keep getting the bongs, even when I'm well under the speed limit.

For example this morning, I was approaching a Mobile 50mph camera location, I got the initial warning, then had to stop at traffic lights, and then got another warning for the same camera when I was only travelling at about 10mph.

Is this normal, I thought that the additional warning only sounded if you were still travelling close to the speed limit.

This was also happening when I was moving at about 60mph after the initial warning for mobile 70mph cameras on the motorway.

Is there something that I'm missing, or have I simply misunderstood how this is supposed to work.

Thanks,

Adrian

Is it the speed warning or the Proximity warning?

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt replies, that answers the question about the alarm after being stationary.

I've now changed the settings back to the bongs only, as the voice announcements were getting a bit annoying :o( which is a shame.

I'll have a bit more of a play around with the unit I think, and see how the behaviour changes when using just POILoader, then using Camera Manager.

I'm still puzzled by the constant alerts when I was under the speed limit, I'm assuming that it was a speed alert, as I thought that the proximity alert only sounded when you crossed the line into range then went quiet.

I've got a few more days off work, so I'll have a bit more of a play and see if I can work out where I'm going wrong.

I really like the voice alerts, but if they keep going off, even when under the speed limit, they get on the nerves a bit.
I'll use the bongs for the time being.

Thanks again,

Adrian

Got it in the end.

Using the "Remove POI's" option in POILoader, then re-installing seemed to eliminate the extra alerts.

I've got the unlocked Camera Manager and downloaded the mp3 files it suggested in the help file. They are all sitting nicely in d:\POI along with the gpx files and the icons with the signs rather than the cameras. Unfortunately I can't get the voices to work (only tried it with a couple of 30MPH cameras. I see a camera icon and a 30MPH icon on the screen.

Any thoughts?

The names are spelt exactly the same except for the extensions. I'm using a Nuvi 660. I have about 120,000 POIs on it - copied loads from here plus MaFTs.

cheers

Do the .mp3s play ok on your PC?

Can you get other .mp3s to play on the Garmin - eg music?

Check the MP3 volume setting - touch the power button and see what it is set at.

plays MP3s fine. I notice the files are not on the Garmin - are they part of a zipped file created by POI loader or do I have to move them over manually?

I had an i3 before and it beeped anytime I came near a POI so I turned off POI alerts on the 660 and guess what. Yep they need to be on! Sorry for not realising the blatantly obvious! Embarassed

Update: I now get a bong every time I pass Tesco, or any of the other POIs. I think I'll create a short empty MP3 file and copy and rename it to all the categories and see if that stops it!

Johnny_Boy, I'm quite new to this but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but if you use POIloader in Manual instead of Express you can turn on/off the proximity alerts for individual groups of POIs.

I'm still playing around with Ashs program trying to get the timing of the voice alerts right so they don't drive me mad, but thanks to all who've added to this thread as it's been very useful. Have got the beta 2.4.0.0 POIloader and it puts Wav files onto my Nuvi 200 just fine. Used Audacity to convert them from MP3 versions. Was able to do it without Camera Manager but is far better with it.

Thanks again Ash. Smile
