What a cool app, I only wish I could do stuff like that.

Many thanks.

Now for enhancements?
Camera direction.
Flashing icons.

I will try out on the run to work in the morning.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Laughing

I like it. The continuous BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, is annoying enough to make me slow down but it's nice to see the camera location until you pass it. Didn't like the way it used to disappear when you dropped sub-alert speed. Also means you get a warning even when under the limit so you don't inadvertently put your foot down a few yards before a camera you didn't notice!!!

Timed alert distances are a nice feature too.

Any thoughts on adding the ability to convert other POI files (maybe separate application) so we can have the POI icons for non-speed camera files (i.e. petrol stations and Asda etc) appear when over 1 mph without being BONGed to death. It's a frequently asked question here. The built in proximity alert in the i3 causes the icon to appear but you also get BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, so it's not very useful.

Hi

I have been trying to use this software but I am having problems.

When you drag and drop the POI loader zip file into the application it comes up as successful but where do the files go ?

I have tried updating my I3 but the only POI's that are now loading are the original POI's that I originally had !

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for quick reply. I have checked the files and they were definitely the GPX files.

Can you just confirm where the POI directory is. I had a folder set up for POI'S to be loaded. How would I get the new files from your software into this folder ?

Thanks again

Kevin

Further to previous e mails the POI loader states that there are no csv files when trying to load the camera database and the only POI's that it is uploading are ones with csv in the file name !

Thanks

Does it have to be the latest version to work - i.e. I have a camera database from Jan 06. It's the Garmin specific one with CSV files. When I try to drag and drop this into the app all I get is the bitmap files - it says that it has failed to unzip the CSV files Confused

I have the "Garmin\POI" directory. Any help appreciated.

I have downloaded the updated POI loader and now I am getting the message that an original POI (National Trust sites) file which is csv, that I am trying to load along with the Speed Camera POI's is invalid.

Any suggestions ?
