Ash

Thanks for a great little utility. I previously used CBROM's utility but couldn't get it to display an icon as an early warning with a single bong and then repeatedly bong only when you got much closer. so I switched to yours which I find really easy to use.

I have noticed though, that on CBROM's utility you could set a warning for cameras where the speed was set at either 0mph or undefined. Is there any way in which your program can do this (I could alter the CSV files and change the speeds before dragging them into your application but that defeats the object) or have I set something up incorrectly?

All the GATSO's on the M42 and M25 are set as 0 so only bong once and whilst the icon stays on screen it would be nice to have the audible second warning as you get close.

Hi all........ got my i3 yesterday,seems to have been a run on them with all the special offers etc,halfords all sold out with no intention of getting any more as its an obsolete unit apparently 8O .... comet was the same story locally to me in birmingham.... but tamworth had one remaining unit left so reserved that,could have done with a sat nav to get there but hey Laughing

picked it up and found this site and spent hours pouring over the forums for tips,and after many attempts managed to download Ash's speed camera utility with the latest speed camera data base.... my fault as im a bit of a numpty with these things,but having read and reread the info is all there....... suprised how quick it took to download though,as many ave mentioned 5-10 mins,mine did it in just over 10 secs..... not sure about the time settings for the differenmt camerers,and the overspeed settings ,just left them alone,went up the road to a couple of known cameras and bingo....works a treat... thanks Ash

Ash/anyone,

Does the speed camera updater only work with the pocketgps Garmin speed camera database or does it work with the Garmin speed camera database on the poihandler website also ?

doug,
You need to subscribe to the site £2 for 1 month allowing 1 download of database or £19 for the year allowing unlimited downloads of database. Have to say that I returned to this site after a while away and was disappointed to see that they have started charging but in all fairness it is probably one of the most if not the most accurate speed camera databases covering the UK. I'm trying to get a Free lifetime subscription by reporting redundant / new camers which they award if you are the first person to report it :D

is It possible to make the i3 *always* display speed camera locations, and to *always* warn of them and also warn if my speed is higher, in other word make it work "normal" but with the camera icons displayed all the time cheers...

When Ash's programme runs on my pc at start up it now comes up with the messsage "Beta version expired". Does this mean it's not working anymore or there's a new version (haven't noticed one if there is) or...what? 8O

Hi Ash, looks like another bug for you...

I turned on my Laptop this morning and it informed me that a new Speed Camera update was available, so I put my SD Card in and used POI loader to update it... so far so good. However Camera Manager is still prompting me to update at about 20 minute intervals.

After running POI Loader:

As you can see the time is 9:43.

The Camera Manager Screenshowing last check was at 8:00 (this was when the new database was downloaded):

It may or may not be of use but I use this Laptop to update 2 i3s. One I have here, the other I do not have access to at the moment. Is the repeated message coming up because I have not updated both i3s? If so then I would suggest that an option is made available to allow users to say if they want to be prompted to update all SatNavs they have ever connected or just until they update one. It was my understanding that the message should be cleared as soon as POI Loader was opened, not after the update had taken place.
