hi all newbie here, what are the envelopes for when you are driving around? when i go down some roads envelopes appear on the map?? i have downloaded the camera database and was wondering if it was anything to do with that? plus i went past a speed camera and i had no warning, then went past another and it warned me??
can you change the default warning sound for cameras to a voice ? thanks in advance regards dave

the envelope symbols i think you will find are post boxes.the cameras you pass that you do not get a warning of will not be in your current database so you need to install the lataest camera database but not all cameras have been submitted to the database.

They are not post boxes, but Post Offices. At times, their accuracy leaves something to be desired, as does that of all the built-in POIs.

cheers guys but there are no poffices or po boxs where the envelopes are speed cameras yes??
i have downloaded the latest database so it should be on there ,the 1 that gives me no warning has been there 3 years!!
just drove past it again and there was a warning but i was level with the damn thing!! i think it was picking the one up a few hundred yards away from it?? regards dave
ps anybody got any info on a different warning alert(voice)

Unless you've somehow managed to associate the Envelope icon with the cameras, I'm not sure why this should happen.

When you transferred the camera database to your Navman, did you select the appropriate bitmap file for each category?

yes i put the relevent bmp in do you think i have my warnings for poi set to high/distance? dave

you can select in the settings how far away you want to be alerted of poi like cameras.
every time i pass a post box the envelope shows up so it must of been set up like that by previous owner.
