Possibly a silly question, but can you install this on the Navigation SD card, or does it need to be on a separate SD card?

@bigade1

 

Any idea why POI notification doesn't work when I compile my own cameras with my PocketGPS cameras?   If I use your version notification works fine.    The cameras work fine, they just do not "BONG" as I approach them even though the Amundsen is set to notify my own POIs.    Obviously not life and death but just a little bug I would like to fix.  Cheers

Depending on the programme that you use to compile the files there's normally a setting to tick to allow an audible alert. I suspect that you may be using the free version of PoiBase and if I remember correctly it also wouldn't work for me when I tried it a year or two ago. Perhaps it's done deliberately to make you pay for the unrestricted version but I'm not certain.

Cheers, I will have another look next time I do an update.   I paid 5 Euro's to unlock PoiBase so will have a look.

Anyone tried to test it on seat? Pls assist....

Works on 2017 Toledo and 2018 Leon (both MIB2)

Hi all, new Octavia VRS owner here    I have a 2010 with a Columbus Sat Nav (as pictured).  I have tried bigade1's files (thanks for this) and followed the instructions. (I do also have a pocketgpsworld sub)  But can't see to get the files to be able to load.  I have no "manage memory option".  Is my Columbus too old to support the files please? Many thanks in advance.

Latest Updated Speedcams - November, 2021.

 

Here's the latest update of my customised version of EUR Speedcams ( November, 2021). They consist of the full EUROPE 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 open the newly extracted folder and 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 your infotainment map menu settings after performing the update or they will not display on your map or audibly alert you. Hope you all enjoy them!

Not wise to have this in France.

Or any other European country e,g. Germany, Turkey, Switzerland etc. that has restrictions on displaying speedcams on satnav devices but thankfully you can turn the speedcam display and audible alerts off in the device settings before entering any affected countries. That is the official advice given by the manufacturer TomTom to their particular device owners. Obviously, the onus is on anyone driving in a foreign country to make themselves aware of any motoring rules and regulations before driving there.

Last I heard because we left the EU if you’re caught speeding they can’t request our details to forward on the fine now, result.

 

Won’t help if you’re pulled over though

Or if they are waiting for your next visit with the data at the port.

Hi guys. Newbie to the forum. Do these work for the MIB1?
tried downloading latest set, putting the PersonalPOI folder on and a different metadata2 file from page 2(?) earlier in thread, to no avail yet

Thanks for this. Is there any further updates available?

*** A brief update***

For all those who have asked - I am still continuing to update these files but since the Covid situation I have found it difficult to get hold of a good FREE reliable updated database. I continually regularly check the forums and when I come across a suitable database I use some software to check the cameras in my area before I decide whether to convert and compile them as it does take a bit of time and effort to accomplish this. For instance, some average speedcams were installed about 3 years ago in my area but no database has yet reflected this change. It's therefore been pointless doing any updates. Thankfully, this new updated database has finally recognised them so perhaps things are starting to get back to normal. Rest assured though these files will be updated as and when I come across any further suitable databases. 

Thanks for the update on your absence Bigade....and thanks again for the speedcam update👌

Many thanks - much appreciated.

 

As usual, not at home, so will download and install in a couple of days.

Hi,

I am having a problem updating when I put the card in the SD slot it seems to read it OK as it says Software update is available.

But when I try to update it searches, then gives me  following Error : no data available. Please insert a source with software update or check the source

 

I have extracted the files and copied the PersonalPOI folder,

I note that there are subfolders MIB2HIGH and MIB2STD and both of these have personalpoi folders, so I tried copying the contents of these in to a personal poi folder and still get the same messages.

What I am I doing wrong?

 

Could it be because I am using the latest VW map update 2010?

 

 

I deleted the previous my personal poi on the system, these were the previous updates you posted.

OOps the two subfolders are MIB2 and MIB2STD.

MIB2 has a subfolder MIB2HIGH

Sorted now.

Many thanks for this !!
