This doesn't follow...
The Navman doesn't "pick up" cameras by GPS. All it has is a list of positions in its memory, where you have told it a camera is.
The GPS tells the Navman where IT is, and the Navman then lets you know if it thinks a camera is nearby.
So... if the Navman is picking up the GPS signal OK and isn't getting lost, the fault must lie with the database of camera positions.
I don't know the Navman units at all, but where did you get the camera data from? Is it Navman's own, or the one from this site? |

You cannot use the car aerial to supplement the GPS signal as they operate in completely different frequency bands, something along the lines of This should improve reception if you really must have the unit buried in the console. - Mike |
