Is there an easy way of downloading a speed camera database to the Kodiaq sat nav - I have been using a dedicated app on my iPhone up to now (the PocketGPSworld camera alert app) but I'd like to just use the Kodiaq sat nav, with its traffic and also speed cameras if possible.
I did read a previous post about downloading from that very same site but it was a bit complex for me.
The files are sent in email, unzip to a SD card, out the SD card in the slit and import the POI's can even get the system to beep when your approxhaibg a speed camera
Instructions are clear enough, slight differences for our unit but easy to work out, all installed and selected in 2 mins
My POI list had maximum selected by default, I just cleared those and reselected what I wanted, job's a good 'un
How do you mean Colin ? do you want a GPS actual speed showing or the speed limit on that road ?
Mine shows the road speed limit (but not always correct so be wary).
How did you install the camera update? I've ordered the same stuff posted on here an received the database file from the seller. When I add it to a memory card and try and update the POI's on the navigation menu it says it has to do it via a software update and then just exits?

Strange, I've done it twice now with no issues.
Followed the instructions that came with the file. Only issue I had was that I had to unselect some POI's from been displayed as there's a limit.
Try contacting the eBay seller, he may be able to assist
Very odd - I can't even find an option of importing them in the menu. Would you mind letting me know the steps you went through.
I'm looking in Nav - settings - manage memory - import poi. When I go to that screen it just says that pois can be updated via a software update and asks if I want to scan for an update.

Apologies I'm not my PC at home so can't recreate the steps. From.memory it was just following the supplied instructions. Is your the Columbus Sat Nav? That's what I have and it worked first time.
The only small 'niggle' I find is that it doesn't alert you (ding) until you're virtually on top of the camera, ideally I'd like it a little bit before.
I disabled the ding because I was getting fed up with it :lol:
You can see them coming up on the nav screen in plenty of time, if you don't mind having that showing.
It does generally show most locations, but has missed a couple, one on a regular route of mine that I knew about, and one while on hols, but the lines on the road gave that one away before I got there
Update on my speed camera issue - I'd ordered the wrong file, for the old Skoda system. Seller sent me through the correct file and it loaded first time. Doh!
Still yet to use it but will give it a go this weekend.
Does anyone have a site address for getting the POI database ourselves as l believe its freeware, l went searching but very quickly got confused.
