V3.0 Firmware - SpeedCam Mod

[bluline]

I used the 2.0 mod on a trip from PA to Chicago, and it was awesome. Great work, thanks!

 

I have a few, hopefully quick, questions.

 

1) Reading the thread, the only functionality difference between 2.0 and 3.0 is the non muted music, is that right?

 

2) The speedcamupdates.spud file replaces the existing speedcams from the mod, is that correct?

 

Thanks again! sorry if i missed these answers in the thread.

I am in uk, just wondered, how this mod caterogises each camera, if I add files from pocketgpsworld?

Is it a case that I put each type of camera in individual files or can I just load them in as consolidated?

 

Thanks

To all that downloaded this mod when I first released it please download these files and redo the mod. There was a glitch in the first one when you would select a destination it would create an error and not map the route. This has been fixed. The new links are posted below and the old ones have been pulled. Sorry if this caused problems for anyone.

 

Happy Modding

 

This should work on all Version 3.0+ Nav units. I am running it on my F90bt which I upgraded to the 3.0 firmware.

 

Ok, I am posting a link to a completely idiot proof way to apply this hack to your unit. It is very simple and should only take a few minutes to apply and you will have the safety cam alert features on your unit.

First let me say that I did not come up with any of this info.

 

I used the files and write-up from VBLUE42 and talked to BorisM and looked at files from cmh928. To get the Mod to work for Version 3.0+ So a BIG THANKS to them for all their help.

 

As always it is advised to backup any files you plan to replace and doing this mod is of course at your own risk. Alright, here goes, below is the Rapidshare link to the files:

 

1. http://rapidshare.com/files/261562856/S ... d_V3.0.zip

or

2. http://www.mediafire.com/file/mtmezzn0j ... d_V3.0.zip

 

This file includes everything you need to add the safety cam hack to your unit including the testmode boot files to boot your unit into windows ce. After you download and unzip the file, follow these steps:

 

1. Copy all files to your SD card

 

2. Boot your unit into testmode and navigate to your SD card.

 

3. Copy DATA.ZIP and SYS.TXT to: \My Flash Drive\APL2\iGo

 

Select yes when it ask you if you want to replace the files.

 

4. Copy the two safety cam database files - "Red_Light_Camera_us.txt", and "Speed_Trap.txt" to: MyFlashDrive\APL2\IGO\Content\SpeedCam

 

Thats it, your done. Remove your SD card and restart your unit. (I recommend the reset button next to the eject button, hold it down for 5secs) Once the unit is restarted, go to: SETTINGS, NAVI SETTINGS, WANRINGS and turn the safety cam alerts on. Once you have done this you can begin to add and edit camera locations on the map.

 

To test the hack, touch the map on a road so that the red target symbol appears over the road. Next hit the map info button located under the map 2D\3D button. Next hit the SAVE AS button select ADD CAM. You will then be given the option to select the type of cam, speed limit of the zone if it applies, and the direction of travel the cam affects. Hit DONE and thats it. Drive in the direction of the newly placed cam and you will see and hear a "Casual Alert" sound as you approach the cam location. The currently playing audio will NOT be muted while in the alert area. If a speed limit was entered when the cam was created, the unit will emit an "Urgent Alert" sound once you exceed the posted speed limit. The "Urgent Alert" sound will cease once you drop below the posted speed limit but the "Casual Alert" will continue until you pass the camera location.

 

i tried all this and i still get nothing im running 3.0 did the mod as specifies in the directions went to setting nav warning no cam feature

I have a little problem with me:

 

now the device (3.03 version) is included (Europe, Hungary) is speedcam, I would like to replace them later, when you only replace the machine and reboot again. So I can not update the speedcams what you can do to work and are always able to update the speedcams?

[dwass143]

Will this mod work for my newly installed avic-x910bt???

Thanks

[VBLUE42]

Will this mod work for my newly installed avic-x910bt???

Thanks

 

It should.

[Blown284]

The directions say to boot into testmode.... how does one accomplish that with the F700BT model? Sorry if this is a newbie question.

[cybereclipse]

go download the 2.3testmode file and put it on your sd card....does anyone know where these files are now? I downloded the 2.0 ones by mistake and now my HU is stuck in a reboot loop

Hello, i am new the forum. it seems the files for this hack has been removed in the download links. Would somebody be so nice as to send me the file via email? my email is robcale@msn.com. Thank you in advance.

[dubb_swagg]

Great Mod..... Works perfectly!

[bronxxbombaz213]

Thanks everyone who put work into this... Just one question, and sorry for the blurry pic. But when the warning comes up, it says 66mph for a lot of the cameras. Is this supposed to be my cars speed (in which case it is wrong) or is this the speed that the speed camera will take a photo this or anything higher?

 

 

[dumpystig]

It's the speed limit of that particular camera. Your speedometer will tell you the speed of your car.

[mnrivera210]

Any updates on the the speedcam database?

 

EDIT: After much digging around I was able to find a way to convert the speed/police traps & red light cameras provided by Trapster and loaded them up with success.

 

Here is the latest file as of 9/5/11.

 

I don't know if necessary but delete anything that is in your speedcam directory before placing the file.

 

I hope this helps, enjoy!
