Adding Safety Camera Support to Navman Products

I stand corrected. (I should have checked first)

It seems the format has changed.
The 'pocketgps_uk_sc' file is new and now contains the GATSO, mobile, truvelo, redlight, specs and temporary camera locations in one file.

Sorry.

hello everyone, it says in the instructions, add the icons for the speed cams. i have added the bmp files like you do to install the csv file but i get an error messing doing it this way. how should i install the icons ? do i need to change it to a jpeg ?

thanks welsey

welsey, can you be a bit more specific? The .bmp file should be selected using the Navman Desktop POIEditor, and bitmap is the correct format, not jpeg.

Truvelos are listed in the main Gatso databases. Continental list cameras on the Mainland, although it is a bit sparse.

I don't have a 510 to experiment with but from what I've read, I'd be inclined to leave well alone.

just downloaded this & find when I open the crv files in notepad, there is no lat / long info to delete. I have opened all crvs & saved in notepad format - but pois says 'doesn't recognise format'. Has something changed since last months download which behaved as normal?

I have been asked to add the camera database to a mates Navman, I have followed ALL of the intructions and all I get is an error saying that no POI's were found in the input file. I have spent about 5 hours messing about with this and I'm at the point of paying my mate for the Navman just so I can smash the bloody thing into very very small pieces.
The whole sodding Navman thing seems like total shite to me, I am so so glad that I have a Tomtom.

Two things you have to do carefully. One use the csv/other files and not the destinator files, and the other is to place a ';' in front of the header line at the top of the each .csv file, using Notepad.

Thanks for the added info Oldboy, I decided to give it one last go before returning the Navman to it's owner.
I have followed everything to the letter (even to the point of setting the distance allert etc to the exact ones that Dave shows in his instructions) I assume the ";" is to rem the header, I tried allways with header and ";" without header and ";" the csv will load into the poi editor but all I ever get is "No POI's Found in Input File"
Many thanks for the info but it is now going to be returned. Surely Navman could have come up with a far easier way updating info in the unit?
Thanks again.

I have a navman icn520 and following the instructions given it took about 10 minutes to load everything up. I have since created my own POI files using CSV Format it couldn't be easier. Perhaps you have a defective product.
