Strange warning on motorway. Unverified speed camera 40mph ahead. From London to Kent shortly before of Medway viaduct M2.
I get warning about here. Photo is an example.

Very difficult to know where that is.

Can you get a Lat/Long rough idea so we can look it up.

The yellow 'We Need You' icon on the right panel will display a map and will help to identify a closer location.

Unfortunately I can't give Lon. Lat. I'm in home now. But there isn't any speed sign to drive on 40. So this may be dangerous for someone who slow down on right line to 40. Can I get from my history route info about speed camera?

Thanks D

Saves me searching.

I don't load pMobiles, personal choice, I treat every road as if there is a Kojak with a Kodak round every corner.

I did load them ages ago and I got 8 back to back warnings at an overpass because I was a few mph over the limit for both roads so I got the main warning and an overspeed for 4 pMobiles.

The advantage was the wife kept getting interrupted Very Happy

Ok, strange more spotted cameras (x3) on M20 to Ashford. PGWC says average speedcamera 50mph on motorway but no signs which says 50. For the moment I turned off. Let see how Garmin Speed camera system does work.
I asked my gf to turn on phone nav app.

I would suggest using POILoader to first remove any and all databases then reinstall with the latest.

Wouldn't be the first time we've seen multiple databases with the old one totally obsolete.

If I reset to factory settings will it remove custom POI/Speed cameras? I don't know how to remove POI using POILoader.

No, maps and POIs aren't affected by a master reset. You can just go into the POI folder and delete them directly if you prefer.

If you do that though check there aren't any .gpi files elsewhere as although they should all be in the POI folder a Garmin will hoover them up even if they aren't

POILoader has 2 options - add or remove - run POILoader and all will become clear

Thanks PIO's removed via POIloader.

Good

Now perform the database load and you know you are running just the latest database.

If the issue persists then report back.
