Hi it'sme again
If a camera has a header of(0) or:: will the drivesmart pick it up because there are a lot of cameras around that are like this in the PGPSW database |

If the DS sees a database heading of NOTHING, then it will detect it in all headings. This is because the DS is clever, as it does not know the heading of the camera, the DS will warn you what ever direction you are going, while you are within range of it.

any heading values of '0' are exported into your version of the database as a blank - i.e. it will not think it is for heading due north.
hope that helps a bit

If a mobile is entered as reversible will the DS detect it in both directions,ie if a mobile has a heading of 180 and is reversible will it also detect it at 360 if not would it be better that the mobile has a header of (0) so it does detect it in both directions even though you could possibly sometimes get a false alert |

as the drivesmart is completely incapable of handling reversible cameras the database is set to export any reversible cameras as having no heading data - i.e. you are warned in any direction.
