Could the database be sorted by speed? so that all the speeds, no matter the type of camera, could be added together, so all the 30's, 40's etc as their own file?

I really don't care what type of camera I am facing, I just want to know the speed in case I have crept over it!

I know that it is broken down in to types with speeds, but that is alot of unnecessary setting up in tomtom to warn me of them :D

Just a thought :D

If you're a hard working boy, you might like to try it yourself.

Download the "Other" type (CSV files) of Speed Zoned Complete, import and combine them into a decent program like Lotus 1-2-3 (not Excel, wash your mouth out with carbolic soap - but I suppose Excel would do it), do a data sort so that you get all the speeds together, then chop it into pieces of speed and save it as CSV, then drop the CSV files onto the program "Makeov2.exe" and voila, eight new camera files.

If you're also a clever boy, you could make .ogg files to match to give you verbal warnings to go with them.

Have fun. You might feel a bit confused being warned of a 40mph camera that isn't there right now, because it's a mobile that's away looking for me somewhere else.

We have no plans to implement this. The database is available in speed zoned format and the type of camera is important information.

Anyway, the set up is a once only thing, when you update the database you do not need to repeat the set-up procedure.

Within the Garmin downloads is the .gdb file.
When this is opened [in Mapsource] the cameras are sorted by eight speeds [0, 20 to 70 and ?].

It should be easy for the individual to create eight seperate .gdb files and convert to .csv.

As a Garmin user it seems a waste of time as the 'zonned database' produces the view as shown:-
