Speedcam files other than txt

Postby mpourdas » Sat Feb 16, 2013 12:43 pm

Unfortunately I do not know how to use speedcam files which are not .txt. Looking for example at http://www.navitotal.com/showthread.php?12282-SCDB-Europe-15-Feb-2013 , could somebody help me understand what is each file and how I should use them. Just throw all of them in the speedcam folder?

Personally i don't know what those files mean.I've looked at those uploads before and not been too sure,too many entries not relevant to me. I won't update the cams too often as they don't change that quickly(mine is from Q4 2012),there seems to be a new update every week,IMO pointless updating that often.Try this link: http://www.navitotal.com/showthread.php?12044-speedcam-SCDB-Europe-14-Jan-2013 ,there will be little different in this database to the link in your post,and will go straight into folder.

That's what I currently have. My first priority is to have a functional GPS. But I am also curious about those files.

.spc is a converted Primo speedcam file, .spe and are .stxt too (I think - the truth is I never heard of those extensions)
These files should work without any problem in Primo and recent Becker(Primo) releases. Just put them in the (empty) content/speedcam folder. These work for me in Primo2.0 and Becker.

.spdb and spud are converted (by iGO8) speedcam.txt files.

Now this is strange :
When I put the .txt file from my post (http://www.navitotal.com/showthread.php?12044-speedcam-SCDB-Europe-14-Jan-2013) in an empty speedcam folder, spdb and .spud files are created by iGO8.3 and speedcams then show in the map screen.
But when I put the files from Jack in an empty speedcam folder, that should work in iGO8.3, but doesn't show any speedcams :confused:
By the way, both the .spdb and spud should go in the speedcam folder together.

The 'format' for *.spdb and *.spud changed slightly between iGo8 and more recent versions of Primo. New/different camera numbers, etc.
So it depends what compiled the spdb and spud files...if it was a Primo derivative, they may only work in a version of Primo. And vice-versa if they were compiled with an iGo8 process.
When in doubt, always safe to use a *.txt file and let either iGo or Primo create it's own compiled files from that.
But that's just my opinion..I could be wrong.

I knew that, but did not realize that would be the cause.
By default, I always use iGO to convert speedcam files and those converted files do work in Primo2.0 and Becker. I did not notice any wrong cams. (yet)

I think I was probably wrong with the vice-versa....the compiled files will probably work in Primo, but it may be missing a couple of the newer camera categories (maybe ignored by iGo8??), and a couple of the categories might be swapped...for instance, a Static camera instead of a Mobile [color="#FF0000"]<<<<<---just an example![/color], etc. You would still get a warning, but the category might be wrong (which hardly matters, really except for the triggered TTS alert). I used to know exactly which category numbers were swapped, but I have forgotten.
But that's just my opinion..I could be wrong.

Hi all,

Personally (WINCE and ANDROID)
I use the base xxx.spc for european countries except France.
I use a file xxx.txt for France.

The two files at the same time in the speedcam file.
