Thread: NEWBIE [and THE OTHERS :)] PROBLEMS with NG INSTALATIONS

Hello,

I am new here. I have Huawei P10 Plus, navigation iGO Primo Nextgen, version 9.12.27.627562. I have a problem with speedcams, it doesn't show me. All stuff (content) I have from 2018.Q4 HERE. I tried to enable speedcam and disable, reinstal application, but doesn't work. What should I do? I am very thankful for your Help.

Do you have a speedcam.txt file for your country in content/speedcam?

No, I don't have. Only speedcamUpdates and other files. Where can I get that? I need for Austria, Slovenia, Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland and Lichtenstein.

I did it, copy to content and not working. I seen in iGO visit card that work only file with .spdb. Should I rename another files .spc in .spdb? Will it work?

You don't have to rename anything.

The .spc files are the "original" files that you find along with the maps, they contain only fixed speed cameras, traffic lights, and average speedcam, but only on the most important roads.

With .txt files you can have more categories and coordinates.
The program does not read the .txt files directly, processes them and forms the speedcam.spdb file, this is the file that the program reads.
The .spc files are read directly by the program and if they are alone, (without any .txt file), they do not generate any speedcam.spdb file.

If no "speedcam" type appears on the screen, either because they are not there, or because you have not activated their vision, (generally by default they are disabled).

Try opening a .txt file with Spudigo, look where there is a high concentration of speedcam and try to make the demo in that street, you will not have the warnings, but the icons on the route must appear anyway.

You can find the Spudigo program here:

At my friend with only .spc files works fine, but at mine iGO not. I put in speedcam file a lot of countries from Europe and only in Slovenia works speedcams, because I lived in Slovenia. I think my iGO has memory effect because when I had this program installed fresh on another memory card, I still had favourite places memorized.
I think I can only fix that speedcams with another version and formated memory card. It' s so strange.
I will try put after those .txt files, + .spb files. I hope it will work.

The favorites places are saved in the save folder, they have nothing to do with speedcams. If you have saved new speedcams via the Nextgen using the "Add New Alert Point" option, these are saved in the .spud file.

Each version of Nextgen has different features but the Speedcams work the same way in all versions.

... formated memory card.

Memory card? Are you using Nextgen on a car radio?
Usually the car radios consider the SD as an internal memory, if the SD had problems it would not work even the navigator.
Are you using Nextgen on a smartphone with the Addons folder on the SD?
You must have the speedcam folder in the internal memory otherwise the speedcam.spdb file cannot be formed due to the known Android restrictions on external SD

I will try put after those .txt files, + .spb files...

The .spdb files are formed by themselves, it does not matter to copy them, and in any case they "update" each time Nextgen is started.
You can also use the speedcam folder on the SD in Addons / content with all the .spc and .txt files, and an empty speedcam folder in the internal memory, it is here that the speedcam.spdb file will be formed.
