Hi, I have just got a Navman S50 and installed the speed zoned database. Following the instructions I seem to have to create a new category for each type of camera for each of the speed limits, is this correct?
I have 248MB of memory free in the Navman but after installing the database the unit has a habit of freezing and when I get a warning (don't always get one), it does not display the speed limit at all.
I did not install the PGPSW sound files though, instead I adopted to use those from my DriveSmart unit which give me a spoken speed limit, instead of the spoken camera type that I believe the PGPSW database gives, am I correct?
What I do get is the occassional warning and sometimes I get a 70mph warning for a 30mph zone!
I do not get the memory full warning, so lack of memory is not an issue here and in anycase I have a 2GB SD card for expansion which is still empty.
Have I installed it correctly or should I have created categorys for each speed limit and then entered the various cameras into the same catogry, ie. all 20mph cameras under the category of 20MPH?
I hope you are able to offer some help here, thanks

I'm no Navman expert, but I'm pretty sure that if you are able to use the speed-zoned version of the database, and you are able to use voice alerts at all, then you will be able to use the speed-zoned version of the voices, and have the camera type AND speed announced.

Thanks, but that was not my question. The question was have I done the loading correct. I have had to create 30 categories in the fashion of Gatso 20mph, into that category I then had to add the .asc file, the .bmp file for the visual warning and the .wav file for the sound. I have then had to do that 29 more times in order to complete the fixed cameras, mobile, p_mobiles, redlight and spec cameras.
Should I have created just 6 categories, in the names of 20mph, 30mph, 40mph, 50mph, 60mph and 70mph and then into each put the sound file (once), the icon file .BMP (once) and then the fixed, mobile, p-mobile, redlight and specs .ASC files?
I was wondering if it is having to trawl through to many categories each time I get within range of a camera?

Well, it was one of your questions!

I believe you can get the PGPSW voices to give you speed-related warnings.
But sorry, that was the only bit of your post I thought I could help with.
Are you following the installation instructions HERE?
