I came across this site for the download of speed cameras onto Sat Navs
http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?...patibility

If you go down to Land Rover it looks as if you can download the speed cameras onto the disc.
Has anyone tried it?

i don't believe its possible on the FL2 due to the format on the disc Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Think I will stick to my road angel - works a treat!  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

Not possible - the Land Rover system that the Pocket GPS World site refers to is the BMW system in the pre 2006 Range Rover.

Know what you mean though: I missed having both accurate speed reading and camera warnings so bought a Road Pilot MicroGo, hard wired it behind the dash and use some velcro to sit it on the far right of the dashboard as and when I use it. It does the only two things that the Freelander sat-nav does not do that I wanted it to and it is so small at about 1" square: http://www.roadpilot.com/MicroGo.asp

The only problem I have had is getting some velcro with sufficient adhesive to hold to the dash whilst not damaging the dash - at the moment I just have to keep cutting a new piece each month - any 'Velcro recommendations?'

can't go wrong with 3M products, not sure if they do Velcro though

Don't they have a window mount? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thanks for the suggestion - will see what 3M have to offer (as opposed to my roll of cheap Velcro from the local 'Pot of Gold' shop round the corner)

Have not used the window mount because the unit is so small and light that the mount is about 10 times the size of the unit and I wanted something small and inconspicuous which it is without the mount. It's also hardwired with a short-lead, enough lead for when it sits in the corner of the dashboard but not enough when using the window mount.

Cheers

There is a LR sat-nav there - so no huge dash hole Matei!

I was very happy to have the speed camaras on my tom-tom,however now i have a FL2 with fitted sat nav.
Has anybody tried to download the speed camaras from Pocket GPS World.

Thats what this whole threads about

The FL2 is a different system to the one on pocketgps, that ones for the old BMW satnav that use to be used so it will not work.

The type of files that the current one uses (i can't remember the name) has not been hacked yet to allow any modification. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

What about trying to download the cameras from pocketgpsworld?

npinks - the map format/system is Denso KIWI

cheers martin

I knew it was Denso, i just couldn't remember the KIWI formating which is the reason the cameras can't be added  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
