Thanks Strumble/WiRED

I pm'd Skippy and he also suggested that I check that the 'Hide Above' settings should all be at Auto - they were. I have also raised the level on the map option.

I still cannot see anything on the unit when I zoom in on a couple of known locations without the unit connected to the bike. I don't know if I should, so I will try tomorrow on the way to work.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm hoping to get this sorted as I am riding to S.Ireland next week and this was on of the main reasons for getting the unit and subscribing.

Reading other posts it seems that I am not alone in having this problem.

Problem solved.

I had another problem where the vehicle marker was not exactly following the road on the map. I phoned Garmin who were extremely helpful. Although familiar with the camera software, the could not suggest a solution, however they did suggest a 'master reset' to solve the marker problem.

1. With the unit off press and hold the PAGE button ( 2 overlapping
squares), then press and hold OK, then press POWER.

2. A message will come up that says DO YOU REALLY WANT TO ERASE ALL
USER DATA.

3. You can then let go of the buttons and press YES.

4. The map will look as if you are in the USA, as it does when you initially take it out of the box. Let the unit acquire satellites for 15-30 minutes standing still. You will then go through the set up again.

Once the unit had realigned itself with the satellites, the marker lined up with the road and, as if by magic, I can now see the cameras on the overlay.

Thanks to those who tried to help, and hopefully this will be of use to others.

Thanks for the headsup Andy/Skippy.

Just a final thing about the cameras, the zoom needs to be at 800ft or below for them to show up. That is more than enough warning though.

From today's download onwards the overlay map covers all the areas of the world for which data is available from the PocketGPSWorld database. This release (5.073) contains camera data for Australia / New Zealand, Africa and the United States of America, as well as the usual UK and Europe data.

Furthermore, the European and International camera POIs are now colour-coded by type in the same way that UK cameras always have been.

Canada and Asia cameras will follow once the data becomes available in the database.

Note that the international maps do not (yet) have any pMobile data. pMobiles are available however for the UK as part of the download. International pMobiles will be added either in the next release, or as an interim update (depending on how keen I feel Wink

)

From today's release (5.075) the map contains all the provisional Mobile cameras (the pMobile cameras) from the worldwide PocketGPSWorld database. These are in a separate map family within Mapsource, therefore you can choose whether or not to install them onto your GPS.

Download - Garmin Other - continue - Select from below - Gpsr overlay

Open the download and look in Mapsource drop down box on the PC[with all your mapping software] the two files should be shown on there!

'Select' them and transfer to Unit.
