I'm confused now. I am using mikegedge's data.zip from http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20651 and in that thread it states that speedcam's are enabled. that line is not in its SYS.TXT file. I copied the speedcam.txt file to its proper home, and went into the avic navi settings and it shows speedcams enabled with audio and visual alerts.

 

So is there someplace else that speedcams can be enabled? Or are mine really not enabled? I really cant test it here as I know there are none near me, and I would prefer to have this working before I head into Chicago today where I know there are several cams!

 

If DATA.ZIP lets you turn on camera warnings, that should be good enough. For a check, open up a map of Chicago, let's say Lake Shore Drive and Fullerton (or Belmont). If you see little camera icons on the map, you are fine.

Funny that you suggest that area, as my girlfriend lives on Briar! And there is a nice little camera at the Belmont and Sheridon corner. I'll go look, thanks for the tip!

I pass by that area often enough to remember that there is one there...

Yup, cameras showed up. two of them actually. Thanks!

Or that... although as is they do not get rid of barking (camera overspeed), they just replace the warning beep with something more intelligible...

Right-click, save as file (speedcam.txt). Delete everything in content/speedcam, copy the new file over.

ok thank you very much

Okay guys. I noticed that this new +1MB files has all the TYPE fields as 5 and some 3's. No speed settings.

The files from the other thread; Red_Light_Camera_us and Speed_Trap.txt have TYPE's of 7 and contains speed settings. I am assuming the TYPE means something

So now I am confused to which file is better? How does it know the difference from a Speed cam or Red Light or are they the exact same thing?

:BUMP:

Just trying to see which files are the most current to use
