Hi,

1. Sorry, but I wouldn't think so - Amundsen+ is an earlier system ( RNS315 ) so it requires a different format. 

2. Sorry - I don't know the answer to that one.

If you have a 2020 Octavia then you don't have an Amundsen+, you have a MIB2 Amundsen.

If you have a 2021 Octavia (new shape) then you have the latest (MIB3?) AMundsen.

 

Might be a good idea to post a picture of your Amundsen...

Seems like they covers norway. 10 EUR for 1y seems ok if the cams is somewhat updated.

Thx for the tip

If that's the case then my speedcams should work for your device and my latest ones are indeed the SCDB ones for Europe so therefore Norway is included.

Once again, for whoever wants them, here is my latest customised version of EU Speedcams ( July, 2020 ). They consist of EU speed cameras which I've split up into four consolidated poi categories i.e. Fixed Speedcams, Average Speedcams, Variable Speedcams and Redlight Speedcams. They come supplied with my own preferred personal choice of icons, shown below, to match each of the categories. Remember to Install them as I explained in the first post in this thread i.e. after extracting the zip file remember to place only the PersonalPOI folder and metainfo2.txt file onto your sd card ( Please Note: a usb stick will not work! ). Also, please remember to select/tick the relevant newly added poi categories and the poi audible warning alert in the menu settings after performing the update or they will not display on your map or audibly alert you. Enjoy!

Excellent work - now I've got a Skoda with a satnav this perfect.  Much appreciated!

Hello Skoda users!

 

I do not know what means Amundsen "MIB2". I just know that I have Amundsen NAV and this POI import didn't work. I get reply that it founds nothing.

If I go to update from SD card, I lead to all folders on SD cards and it founds nothing to import.

 

Any idea?

 

Thank you!

Are your maps read directly from an SD card? Yes = Amunsen, no =Columbus

 

What year is your Octavia 3?

2014 or earlier = MIB1

2015 = MIB1 until May build, MIB2 after

2016 = MIB2

First time I've done this. I didn't even realise I could! Brilliant, thanks!

Hi bigade1!

 

Thank you! I did successfully imported Speedcams, but it seems strange that when I checked cams available locally, system has found 10-20 cams, but nevertheless I did not see any on map. So I couldn't check really if I would see one if there was one and if I would be alerted.

Am I missing something?

 

Thank you!

Check your navigation menu settings. Under the " Map " menu ensure that the " Show POIs "setting is ticked then enter the " Select categories for POIs " menu and scroll to the bottom to see the newly added speedcam categories. Then tick each speedcam category to display them on your map. If the speedcams have been correctly installed and activated you should then see the cameras by using your fingers on the touchscreen to zoom in and out of different areas of the map. Also check the settings in " Nav. announcements " if you want to enable an audible alert.

I've seen this thread a few times now (assuming it pops back up the top when there's an update) but I've just put this onto my second SD card, put it into my Columbus MIB2 and it appears to have accepted them. I've searched the thread, but I've not found a definite yes or no if they do indeed work on the Columbus.

 

I'll be off the gym in the morning and I know I'll be driving past at least 2 cameras (a red light and a normal speed camera).

 

I've set them to appear on my POI's and hopefully I've set them to 'ping' when I'm in their vicinity, so fingers crossed all looks good to go. I'll report back tomorrow.
