General speedcam speed display correction:
Primo 2 apparently uses a more '360 degree' view when it comes to speedcam alerts.
For example, driving down a road with no speedcam, you approach an intersection of a road that does have a speedcam, Primo will alert you "Speedcam ahead in 700 meters" or such, and display the speedcam icon. Good. However, if the road you are ON is 70 KPH, but the road with the speedcam is 50 KPH, the alert will incorrectly be for 70 KPH.
This is easily correctable.
Copy data.zip from your device or SD Card to your PC. Using Winrar, open (but do not extract) your data.zip file. Within Winrar, click the project_config folder, and then the igo9.ini file...if asked how to open it, choose notepad or some other PLAIN TEXT editor..do not use wordpad or any other word processor. In Notepad, scroll down about half way until you get to the speedcam sections:
; S P E E D C A M - C A T : 1
[speedcam_category:1]
In each section (they number up to 31, but not all are for speedcams (some are other alerts)..you can skip the ones that are not true speedcams), look for the line "use_road_speedlimit=". If there is a number 1 after the equal sign, change it to 0 (zero). Repeat for all speedcam sections, then save the file in notepad. Winrar will ask if you want to update the archive. Choose yes. Close notepad, close winrar, replace your data.zip on your device or SD Card with the one you just edited[color="#FF0000"]**[/color]. Primo will now use the data in your speedcam database for the speed of the alert, rather than the road you happen to be on. This depends, of course, on accurate data in your speedcam file, but is likely to be much more accurate than the road speed in many situations.
[color="#FF0000"]**[/color]For safety (in case you edited data.zip incorrectly) you can rename your existing data.zip to data.ziporiginal--if Primo fails to load or gives errors, delete your edited data.zip, and rename the original back to "data.zip".
