speed camera warnings are wrong?

I have a sat nav Garmin 860T. I downlaoded your speed camera database and thought thats good now I have speed camers again so i signed up for another years subscription.. The problem is this and i'll make this as short & as brief as possible.

Speed camera icons while driving along the road are correct, and in the correct places it's the red warning symbol which chimes & warns or makes an audible warning and flashes the current speed or the speed you should be driving @ of say 19 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone, or it warns of 45 miles per hour while in a 70 mile per hour zone, etc, etc..

Is my New Garmin 860T not compatible with your database or how can you help.

Thanks in advance.

Afraid you've stumbled over THE most often asked question about adding the camera data to Garmins!

When you load the files with POI Loader, you've forgotten to switch the loader program over to MPH from km/h. (19mph = 40 km/h etc.)

Just run POILoader again with the correct setting and it will put it right.

It's also a sticky thread in the Garmin forum - Click Here

Paul, I just had a look at the POI Loader instructions link (http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/uksafetycameras-garmin.php)
from the main camera download page
(http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras)

and it's not mentioned there so far as I can see.

Do you think a little re-write for Darren would be in order?
