Can the speed cameras and POI's from this site be used on this unit please? If so, which ones are used?
Good price for this in Halfords - may replace my Garmin 760T! _________________ Returned to a proper Garmin although still have Co-Pilot on a Galaxy S3!

The answer is .... it depends! Some later Navigon's cannot use our database. Those that can will need you to buy and install POI-Warner. Have a look at their website, www.navigating.de to see if that model is supported. _________________ Darren Griffin

My first Satnav was the Medion clone of the Mio 168. The s/w was Navigon based and it needed POI Warner 4 to show/warn of cameras.
I then bought a Navigon 5110, and I had to buy POI Warner 5 to use the cams.
I then had my eye on the Navigon 2150 Max but I held back because there was no POI Warner to go with it, and although it came with its own camera warning system, I felt that nothing could beat Pocket GPS World's. Besides, I'm a lifetime member and don't have to pay any more, which is great.
Eventually POI Warner 7 came out in late December 2008, so I bought the 2150 Max, and then POI W7 to go with it.
So I've spent about 80 euros on the 3 versions of POI Warner so far!
It's only through these forums though, thanks guys, that I've realised that with POI W7 the cameras don't appear on the map, due to some programming difference from earlier versions. You do get a fancy 3-D graphic warning, and chimes, (plus I've added voice warnings, too), but without seeing that icon on the map , you never feel quite sure that you're fully covered, as it were.
Had I known that POI W7 would be deficient in this way, I probably wouldn't have bought the 2150 Max. But having said that, I'm otherwise very happy with it. We have Tomtoms and Garmins in the office for anyone to use, and I've tried them both. FWIW I find the maps on both to be like something out of primary school, and the Garmin routing to be quite peculiar - but that's only my opinion.
So the cameras will work, but you have to buy POI Warner 7 first, and trust it not to miss a camera.
