Not likely, since iGO and Primo compile it from a .txt file. Besides, speedcams are located by coordinates. Thus you must know and then find the correct (!) coordinate in the file.
What do you want to do? Add or remove speedcams? There are other solutions then.

Thanks Nabi, I want to be able to read the update file "speedcamupdates.spud" so that I can 1. save them directly to speedcam.txt file in case of primo delete them (it happened to me once, the update file somehow has been deleted, I dont know how or why) 2. save them in mapsource for Garmin use.

After creation, make a backup, ;)
Some speedcams files are recently offered not in txt format, but in spud and/or spc (Primo) format.

Because Garmin uses his own format.

When you have the speedcam.txt file, download and use ITNConvertor (http://www.benichou-software.com/ind...emid=2&lang=en) to convert the speedcam.txt in a Garmin format file. ITNConverter cannot read files created by iGO or Primo and can not create spud/spdb files. (only upoi format for iGO)

I know and I have ITNconvertor, but, as you said, it doesn't convert spud file.

Thanks

The .spud file is in a proprietary format, so unless someone works out it's format i doubt you'll be able to do anything with it.
