Mercedes Garmin Map Pilot SD Card Navigation System

Deleted the 3 font folders and all seems well at the moment.
No Chinese writing just camera and warning.
Everything else seems fine
Many thanks

Having a bit of problem installing the speed camera data base onto the Garmin Map Pilot SD Card Europe 2016 and wondered if anyone could offer any advice as to what I’m doing wrong or is it an issue with the Command System on-board the car? Details as follows;

Car – 2016 Mercedes AMG SLC43, 3 weeks old

When I view the system the Command System is listed as NTG5Star1, software Version 38.18

SD Card Garmin Map Pilot Europe 2016, V6 Map 6.0

I’ve tried loading the speed camera database as a .gpi file using the naming convention of Speedcams_UK_Camera.gpi and placed it in the POI folder on the SD card.

That didn’t work, so I created a folder called PersonalPOI within the main folder on the SD card and loaded speed camera data base in there.

That didn’t work either, so I created a folder called PersonalPOI as a stand alone folder on the SD card and loaded the camera data base in there.

That didn’t work either.

The main issue seems to be that when I enter the Navi menu there isn’t an option to import or copy any personal POI’s or is the system supposed to just pull the POI’s automatically into the sat nav?

The other method that I’ve tried is loading the speed camera database using the Garmin POI Loader and letting it place the POI camera file directly into the POI folder on the original Mercedes supplied SD card and that didn’t work either.

Am I doing something wrong or perhaps it’s due to the particular Command system that is installed in the car?

Hope someone can help.

I didn't think the Command system used Garmin mate?
If you look in the other sub forums, I think there is one dedicated to Merc Command and how to get it running.
I think it's easier to get icons showing, but you can't get an alert sound in command.

Increase or decrease the lat and lon position by 0.00006 degrees. That will shift the position in lat by about 21 feet and lon by about 13 feet.

I've had a reasonable amount of success following Nemesis1 post on Page 4 of this thread ...

I created the 3 separate sets of Garmim .gpi files for 'speed', 'distance' and 'position (edited to offset).

It requires some minor easily googled Excel editing techniques ...

Here are a few screen shots :
I get the banner come up within the distance (set to 1/2 mile 2640ft) and the speed bong.
I only get the camera location icon within the distance ... not sure why ... maybe because I only added 0.00006 to the Lat not the Long?

All in all I'm very happy with the result and many thanks to Nemesis1 for all his hard work on this ......

If you only move it in Lat, it will only move the camera a bit further up/down a north /south road, and rather defeat the object of moving it. I suppose that you could also argue that if you move it in both lat and lon by the same amount, you are only moving it up/down the road on a NE/SW or NW/SE road.

Yeah fair comment M8TJT - No easy work around that!

I'm getting the icon side tiles 'sticking' down the LHS of the screen well after passing mobile sites .... no sure why, doesn't happen with Gatsos ...

Yes you can :-)

That's great work BTW.

I will have another play today.

What version is your sat nav at?

Thanks.
