I finally got the speed warning working, i guess it doesn't work over "fly over" mode, but when I'm actually driving, it DOES WORK.

 

I got the speed camera database from http://www.trapster.com in csv, it is a really good database, very accurate at least on my area. It is daily updated by the own users, positions get voted so they increase the level of confidence of that camera type/position, anyways i think it is a good database and really easy to convert to IGO format.

 

By the way if anyone wants the file that i converted from Trapster, let me know. :wink:

 

The file include cameras from all over the mainland 48-states of US, i have only verified my area and it is looking very accurate over here.

 

This is user collaboration based database, this means users add, modify, delete camera position and type (static, redlights, possible hidden police points, etc)

 

I changed the classification to comply with the igo format (speed camera = '1' static, redlight = '3' redlight cameras, and hidden police points = '5' mobile cameras)

 

this data base is as good as many user collaborate to build it, so, people start creating your FREE account and lets build a nice speedcamera database for our AVIC...

 

I'll try to convert/update the database as soon as i can, since the site is constantly updating.

 

 

Installation:

 

- copy both txt files to the /IGO/content/speecamera/ folder on you avic, while you are in testmode. (they are already converted to IGO format)

 

- Restart the unit. it will take a little longer to start up (only the first time) since the unit has to build its own data based on the content of txts (it will do it by itself, so nothing to do here, just wait about 2-4mins)

 

- test if you can see the camera on the map.

 

Note: I have only tested the location on my are and looks good, let me know how it looks for your area?

 

 

Hey forb, do you have the most up to date trapster file converted? I would like to try this on my x910bt.

You don't have to go into testmode just put the text file on your SD Card in \poi\speedcam.

 

Creating a trapster file really easily from the database a couple of replace all commands and you have a new database file.
