Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2011 7:34 pm Post subject: Garmin 2200 Speed Camera Question |
|
|
Dear all,
Am about to buy Garmin 2200 (Which best sub-£100). But am confused about speed camera info (which is primary reason for buying it).
I understand that I can subscribe to PGPSW and get updates as required (£15.00 pa seems very fair)
I can see (from excellent video) that I can upload the PGPSW database onto the Garmin.
Questions:
1. Is it really that simple or am I missing something?
2. Do I have to turn off the Garmin in-built speed camera warning for the PGPSW ones to work?
3. Are there circumstances where the two conflict with each other?
Many thanks in advance.

Works perfectly with the PGPSW cameras, just download the POILoader set - I have the 2200 which I bought just for the cameras as I have a built in unit for TMC traffic.
If you are going to use it for navigation as well I would consider going up a notch or 2 as this unit only has a small screen and has no traffic.
The Which? report mentioned the 'find your car' facility which is a puzzle to me as mine doesn't have this feature. AFAIK you need the 2300 or above that has the active mount and can detect removal. _________________ Satnav:

Hi Dave....
1. Yes, it's that simple
2 and 3. There's nothing to stop you running both side by side, but most people find that they never get a situation where the built-in database has a location that the PGPSW one has missed, so it's less confusing and less annoying bleeps if you just switch off the built-in one. _________________ "Settling in nicely" ;-) |

Thanks for the answers.
I shall buy one (probably the 2200 as I mainly need it for the speed cams) and join.
Cheers, Dave |

Bear in mind that on Sunday the £14.99 offer ends and the annual subscription will revert to £19.99.
If you subscribe at £14.99 then next year it will automatically renew at £14.99 too - i.e. it renews at the price you paid initially regardless of current price.
