Hi Forum
Now that navman has done a small update
Has anyone with the problem of only been able to update 16 files on speed cameras and not the total of 24
Has the update resolved the problem
Regards
Dave

If you are referring to the February 2006 Service Pack, that has not changed the number of POI's that you can have active. Sad

So can I ask the question
Why do some 520 take 24 files and some only take 16
Thanks

As I understand they are all the same,
16 is the limit for the number of "Active" POI files
24 is a limit for the total number installed on the iCN

"Active" in this context means it will beep at you when you get close to it (Speed cams). The other just sit there .

Of couse I may be completely wrong, despite what my wife says I do occationaly admit it :D .

Yes I think i can see that
But if you download the single files of 24 does that mean that 8 are missing

Gee Pee
I am told you can download one of the 3 (consolidated)which i have or single file and speed zone 24 .This is the one where I have a problem.
Only 16 out of the 24 are active and I cant understand why .
That is all I have downloaded apart from what comes with the 520
I notice on the forum that some can do it and some cant and I am trying to find out why
Regard
Dave

Gee-Pee,

Have you put the PGPSW cameras onto your N20 or are you using the Navman ones for now? It would be interesting to know how many types you can put onto an N series, especially as p95 of the manual continues the 'maximum of 25' theme.

PS Tim
Yes, my copy of the Manual says

Hi
I have also looked at my manual and can put in 25 poi
Perhaps if you have time Tim you could give us a detail way that you put your POI in your Navman so we can try again
Regards
Dave

First, I download the latest database in the Navman format and unzip it to aknown, not a temp, directory.

Connect device to PC and turn it on, then start Navman Desktop, then start POIEditor. I delete all of the POIs that I'm going to update using Manage POIs, then start from scratch.

I load the files in the order they appear in the directory I've unzipped them to, so I start with Gatso20 and end with Temp. After loading each file into POIEditor, I select the corresponding icon and ensure that the POI is marked as active and warned, with visibility at maximum and distance at 500m.

I rename each file within the POIEditor to a max of eight letters. BEar in mind that the earlier models won't, for some reason, allow the use of 0, so I use O instead. i.e. GATSO2O instead of GATSO20.

As mentioned earlier, I always complete the entire process before doing anything else and I've never knowingly had less than the 24 files I've transferred active on the device.
