Adding Safety Camera Support to Navman Products

Dave

Since the October release of the Safety Cameras, instructions have now changed for Navman users running V3 software which includes the V3 software itself (not yet released), iCN510, iCN635 and iCN650.

These instructions can be found here.

thank you for this information dave - most useful, but a little frustrating for me. i am a complete novice at this and am having a little trouble downloading - can i ask you to read my postings on spped camera database and advise if at all possible.

I've looked at the instructions and one thing puzzles me, what does the Navman "say" as the audible warning? I can see were you put in the bmp file that gives the symbol for a camera, but I would have expected a wav or something for the audio alarm, or am I missing something.

thanks

Sorry, just seen the answer to my own question, its an audible chime, not a verbal warning

Dave, Just downloaded the latest Speed Camera database - POIs and installed.
In the download, there is another folder with .wav files for audio speed limits, warnings of approach to cams etc. etc.
Question

Can I intall/use these on my Navman iCN510 Question

If so, how do I do so. At the moment, all that I have installed is those files NOT in the speed zoned folder.

Thanks

You cannot use the warning sounds, unfortunately. The SmartST V3 software only allows for one sound to be played for all the Custom POIs.

You can, however, use the speedzoned .csv files and associate them with their own .bmp files. If you do this, first remove the Mobile and Gatso POIs, or you will have the information duplicated.

Thanks for prompt response, Tim. Will accept the present set-up as it is more than adequate for my needs.

Upon following all the instructions for loading the Gatso sites onto my 510 I get the following message. NO POI'S FOUND IN INPUT FILE. Anybody have any ideas on what to do next? Evil or Very Mad

Reread the instructions! If it doesn't work by following the instuctions to the letter, it's possible that the download has been corrupted.

I've just loaded the same Gatso data into my 510 following the afore mentioned instructions and it went without any problems and it was all Greek to me. Still is!!!

Erroneiously posted this in the 510 forum. Could you help?

Great service but in the instructions this month, it says only use the csv files for the Navman whereas I've always included the bmp files in my install. Could someone clarify, please.

FTB I have also installed the appropriate bmp files but wondered if it is only necessary to update the csv files on the assumption that the 'old' bmp files remain active.

To the latter question yes you should just update the csv file and it will use the same bitmap.
On a side note I notice if you look at the ini files relating to these POIs there is a default sound set so this would suggest putting the relavent sound file within the windows folder and ammending the last line of the ini file would produce individual sounds for each type of camera encountered.

Forgot to mention,if the database were split into speed zones it should be possible to play a different speed warning for each too i.e. "warning 30 mile speed limit"
