Igo8 and Speed Cameras

Hi All,

Believe it or not, speed cameras are new to me. Actually it was my first try this morning. I am a bit confused though. Here is my issue. When I drive on the highway here in Belgium, it happens very often that Igo will warn that there is a speed camera even though it is on the street that goes under the highway. That speed camera is not for the highway... And of course Igo (and my partner) get crazy because I drive way too fast for the speed camera that is on the smaller road I cross.

So my understanding is that Igo8 does not make any difference between a speed camera on the road you are driving and a speed camera on a road you are just crossing? Did I miss anything ?

Many thanks

No, you did not. I experience it too.
It can happen when a speedcam is close to the road you are driving on or when the speedcam is placed on crossroads, but in the cross directions. If that is a speedcam file error (wrong codes for radar direction) or an iGO error is unclear to me. Because it does not happen in every alike situation.
My advise is to use a skin (like Gurjon or diMKa) where you can select a voice to warn you for a speedcam, but in the mean time disable the sound warning for speeding.

OK, it is not just me then. Many thanks for that fast reply.

As the speedcam functionality was close to unusable I wanted to re-test it with another speedcam file for Europe that was mentionned on this forum. I downloaded it a couple of days ago but I only had the opportunity to tests it today. It is very effective now. So, for me the different file made the difference. Many thanks again for your help.

Since you are living in Belgium a tip: register for free at [Please Register or Login to download file] . and download the speedcam file there. Updated every week, speedcams for the Benelux in txt format (I think it's - or was - under iGO2006, but it's also for iGO8 ).
Just delete all files in the speedcam folder and replace with the txt file. When iGO starts up, it converts the txt to its own spud/spd file.
The SCDB file is rather big and if you don't need Europe complete ....

Using primo and have used the same speedcam files as i have in 8.3 but all the sign warning come up in KMH and not MPH, it works ok on 8.3 but somehow its showing KMH on primo.

You're not the first person to speak of this. Hopefully it's corrected in the next version.
