Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2011 5:32 pm Post subject: 1690 can I delete specific Proximity Alerts? |
|
|
I have just purchased a Nuvi 1690 and used it today for the first time in a trip up the M1 past Nottingham. I have the proximity alerts switched on and as I reached the point on the M1 where the road works used to be passing Nottingham I got a warning about the 50mph variable speed limit cameras. Obviously these cameras have been gone for a while now, so I would like to remove them from the database, can someone explain if this is possible and how please? I have a quick butchers through the previous topics and could not see anything, so if I missed a previous post i appologise.
Cheers
Tony |

If these are Garmin speed cameras then no, you can't manually edit them.
But, if you were to subscribe to our speed camera service, the data would be up to date - we have much better, more accurate, and more up to date speed camera data than the service Garmin use. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Feel free to peruse our submission map here. That should prove that our data is current, check the M1 roadworks cameras that are incorrect on your Garmin. _________________ Darren Griffin |

All done and signed up, just 1 question though,
I have downloaded both the UK and Euro databases, installed the UK one first, then changed the name from poi.gpi to UKpoi.gpi, then I loaded the Eur database and renamed that to Eurpoi.gpi. When I go the the proximity alerts settings on my nuvi, I just have the 1 Custom POI's option listed and ticked, is that correct or should I have 1 for UK and 1 for Eur?
Cheers

You should see two sets of categories. Browse to your device and confirm both .gpi files are still present. _________________ Darren Griffin |

I have renamed both gpi files so now I have eucams and ukcams still only 1 custom poi listing in settings but I am getting cameras showing up both in the UK and France so all appears well. |

Iirc you will only see one Custom poi category regardless of how many GPI files you have loaded. |

Really? The sticky suggests otherwise but I don't have a Garmin to test - You've got it _________________ Darren Griffin |

Ah right. I did try it once seperating my non Speed Camera POIs from the Speed Camera POIs so i'm working from memory which is never a good idea in my case..... I think...

At the minute you are significantly closer to it than i as my mum is using it.... Did you need it back? |
