setting up speed cams on a garmin

[RODTROTTER]

just got a garmin nuvi for my works car when i was installing the speed cams in the instructions it says

You MUST ensure you select Feet and mph if you are using UK/Northern Ireland files or Meters and km/h for all other countries (see below). If you do not ensure this selection is correct for your territory then the alerts will sound at incorrect speeds.

i set it to feet and mph if i go abroad will i need to reset it to meters and Km/h ? or will it work ok as it is thanks for any help given and a happy christmas to all

As long as you leave the unit set to MPH then you will still get the alerts at the same distance as now.

If your unsure then setup 2 sets of cameras MPH/KPH and use the menu to activate/de-activate the relevant set.

If you intend to download European Speed cameras, you need to load a seperate list of POIs to your Garmin; that one you will set to kph and the garmin will automatically warn you at the correct speed.

The process is decribed here:

The only difference with the latest version of POI loader is that you can name the file before loading so you don't have to change it on the Garmin.

I personally use UK_Cams_POI_Files & EUR_Cams_POI_Files

Hope this helps
