Thread: Garmin Street Pilot res 800x480 v.2.33 Android non-root 4.2.2 to 4.4.4

Great post.

Question regarding speedcams. If I download from PoiPlaza I have the option to download as (speedcam) or (poi) format, which one to choose?

After converting the csv files to gpi I transfer to POI folder. If I go to settings and select Custom POIs then I just get an hour glass display and it does nothing. How to activate these speedcams please.

If you download them as Speedcams (.csv), there is a speed entry in the .csv file after every point's name
(e.g. 2.49126, 50.75275, RL-70, F-Hondeghem@70) so the PoiLoader can calculate the proximity alert distance with Express Mode.
If you download as POI (.gpx or .csv) there is no speed info in the files and in PoiLoader you must enter the proximity alert distance by yourself in Manual Mode.
I always download as POIs because I don't have much confidence in the speed entries in the "as speedcams" .csv files and I always set my proximity alert distance, in order to be better safe than sorry...

To activate the custom Pois that have proximity alert distances, go to Settings > Proximity Alerts > Alerts > Custom Pois (checked)
You 'll hear a "ding-ding" as you approach the poi and have a visual alert.
There is no way to search and find any custom pois in StreetPilot, except if you click on their icons in browse map mode (when you have an active route).
