    autovelox Polling: Which region should I convert Cyclop alerts to be used on Street Pilot?

    What is this: Cyclops directional alerts is great but it doesn't work on Street Pilot. Alternative is to use SCDB, but it's not directional and no audio. I've been working on extracting Cyclops data and building alerts using Garmin GPI Creator. It's complicated and is work-in-progress. US/Can alerts is easier than other regions since it doesn't have Section/Average alerts. My algorithm works well for Redlight, but need tweaking for Fix and Mobile alerts; it definitely need lots of work for Section. This converted alerts should also work on any Garmin unit that Cyclops doesn't work/isn't available.
    US/Can convert is available now at: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    Features:
    1. Converted from Cyclops 3-pts alert data (which only one point is guarantee to be on the road so it makes strategy for conversion complicated)**
    2. Using 24x24 icons (very time consuming to convert from SCDB 48x48 since I don't like the 22x22 size; when dealing with this small size every pixel counts!)
    3. Using DingDing (the loudess sound, others are Beep,3-Beeps and Ding) audio
    4. For redlight, it also have streetview (if available) and intersection info*
    5. For non-redlight, it also have mapview (if available)*
    6. Each alert has street name and direction of travelled (this will be extremely useful for searching and viewing)

    * to be trimmed based on size (Street Pilot have limit on .gpi size)
    ** parsing of Cyclops record is far from being complete. There are guesses and assumptions (nothing is guarantee to be correct). There are rules that so far seems to hold: 1) always 3-pts, called them pt1, pt2, and pt3 2) pt3 is always on road 3) in direction of travel you will encountered pt2, pt3 and pt1 in that order 4) distant between pt3 to pt2 is small compared to distant between pt3 and pt1 5) alert types and speed seems to be correct

    Since I do not have time nor resource to work on all regions; this polling is needed and I've set polling time period for one month so everyone can get a chance to vote.

    Note: It's Slovakia in safety_camera_czech_poland_slovenia.gpi not Slovenia (the folks at Cyclops errored)
