Help I can't see my transparent speed camera map

Hello all. I am a newbie to all this and maybe someone more knowledgable can help me.

I got my Quest today and went exploring roads I'd never been down before. Inevitably, I happened across a speed camera or three and it dawned on me that my new Quest might be able to help out with that.

From the excellent information on this site, I have manged to download the transparent map fo camera locations, get it into MapSource and I think get in onto the Quest. (It is comes up under the map info menu) My trouble is, I just can't see any of the points on the map. I've zoomed in and out, scrolled around the map and even simulated a route past a known camera. I've loaded all the maps with the camera map first on the list and last on the list on the chance that the order of overlaping maps might affect whether I can see it. I have even switched off City Select but still can't see it.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Managed to solve it. Turns out that neither of the gatso's near my house are on the map Embarassed

I finally discovered the map setup area and under the point tab changed the hide above value for POI up to 2 miles and hey presto there they all were.

I hope others can learn from my mistake :D

I had no problems. Just downloaded the file, unzipped it, double clicked on the setup file icon and away we go... Smile

Can I assume you unzipped it? (Sorry if that's a stupid question)

Sorry - I'm being thick here but now I've successfully saved the programme, clicked "setup" and saved it to my Garmin destination folder, when I open the folder there are no files in it!
How do I upload the camera overlay into my Quest? After using "setup", the info box says that I can view the map in Mapsource or upload to my GPSR .................your's confused.......DW

Let's assume you've unzipped the file successfully and installed correctly from the setup icon. The speed camera database map should now be resident in Mapsource and you should see the map name in the drop down box top left screen along with City Select 6 and/or 7 whichever version you are using.

By selecting the map tool from the tool bar and City Select 6 or 7 from the drop down you highlight with the cursor those maps of UK/Europe that you want to load to your Quest remembering that all maps currently in the Quest will be erased when you download a new map set to it. As you do this the map segments change colour to indicate their selection and a list of the selected maps appears on the screen LHS. Now select the speed camera database map from the drop down and again with the cursor click on the map - there's only one map to cover the whole of the UK so you don't have to pick and choose areas. The speed camera database should now be added to the map list. Now simply download to the Quest using the send to device icon making sure the maps tick box is selected.

It should then all work Smile

...it did for me :D ...and the cameras appear as an overlay to the City Select maps you have selected. If it doesn't Sad

let me know and if it helps I could talk you through it on the phone this evening... Question

Email me on dplees53@aol.com if you want to make contact.

Thanks for all that.........I'll try it tomorrow as I can only seem to download the files on my office PC, then heading up to the far north of Scotland for a weekend of seafood and music - not so many cameras up there Smile

, I'll post the results on return
