I am using a Nuvi 350 and have downloaded the 'safety' camera database.
Overall it seems pretty accurate and very comprehensive. I used it along side a Road Angel and they pretty well agreed on most locations I passed.
However I have found that quite a few locations around the A3 Surrey area seem to be a few hundred yards out. The slightly early warnings are ok but some warned too late. Since I cant edit wapypoints in the Nuvi directly can anyone suggest an easy way of shifting the locations a few hundred yards here or there.

Thanks

If you have Microsoft's Autoroute on your PC, import the database, then using the Tools location sensor, move the cursor to where you know the camera should be and read off the lat and long and submit them with the camera No. and road.

Hi thanks for your suggestion however I am a MAC user, sorry should have said. I do have virtual PC and have found that I can load POIs and update the Nuvi via that ok.
I will check out if that software will run under VPC and if so give it a go.

Never having used a Mac, can't help you if Autoroute would run.
