Navigon Speed Camera Question

Hi There

I'm thinking about buying a Navigon 2110 Max and paying for the TMC and TTS upgrades. My question is what does the Speed Camera update do for you and is it worth it? Does it simply update the unit with new camera locations?

Also, out the box, does the unit display ALL speed cameras e.g. possible mobile speed traps or just static ones? Or do you need to upgrade? Reason I'm confused is I'm also considering a snooper syrius unit and that updates the speed cameras on almost a daily basis whereas the navigon doesn't give any time scale and at £25 a pop I doubt it will be every week!

Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing that the cameras covered are only going to be fixed location ones, but not certain.

As for when it's updated they have only just started to offer it for the newer models so hard to tell. I'm guessing that it maybe the same as ViaMichelin ones which were every month.

Once they have sorted the ability to add our own POI we should be able to import locations from the PocketGPSWorld speed cameras.

Thanks for the reply. Do we have an update on how long it will take until the ability to add our own POIs is available. Is this feature definately going to be made available? If so, I might just wait until it is until I buy...

Thanks for the reply again. I really am stuck now, I really like the look of the Navigon systems but the inability to add your own POIs is stopping me from buying. Think I might just hang fire and see what happens!

I have just bought the 2110max. Seems a pretty good product although I am still working out how to hack it. Looking round some of the other forums it looks like MN7 might use POIcon as the speed cam warning system. I believe this is also used on the latest Mitacs.

I have yet to work out how this works for user defined POIs but the SpeedCameraUpdate.SPUD file for POIcon has a flag for each camera allowing:
Fixed Cameras
Mobile Cameras
Combined Speed/RedLight Cameras
Redlight Cameras
Specs type average speed cameras.

The only gripes I have so far with the 2110max are:
Sucker only works on reasonbly flat part of windscreen near the middle.
Auto brightness changes to night mode far too late in the day. I don't know about flipping back to daytime because I don't wake up that early.
Navigon refuse to give any details about how to get previous contacts(favorites) into the device without using Outlook - which I can't do because I run Linux.
No information about updating Speed cam POIs but investigating POIcon looks promising.
