Thread: iGO Speedcam (DISCUSSION)

Dear teacher AF, sorry for the question, but I don’t understand why on section radars the closure must have a speed of 5 km, isn’t it enough to just close the section?.


I ask you this question because when I test a route in Spain with section speed cameras, in some "very few" it shows "section speed camera start." This happens with all the databases I have tested. Also, another question: with the old iGo Primo WinCE 9.6.5.306142 from June 2013, the initial section is correct, but the closing sometimes works fine, and other times it stays with the indication of section start at 5 km.

Hi, - 5 km/h is the signal for closing the average speed section.

PS If the speed on the screen is 5 km/h, then the section is closed. but!!! iGo Primo WinCE 9.6.5.306142, June 2013, knows nothing about 5 km/h and starts a new section at 5 km/h. It only works where conditions are created.

Friend, you responded while I was editing my post. (What a response speed!) And taking advantage of this new post, when the section doesn't close and the old Igo Primo gets stuck at a speed of 5km, should any entry in the sys. be modified? Although as I have told you before, in my road tests sometimes it works well and other times it keeps sounding the initial 5 km section.

I am only referring to some modification of the file "sys.txt", so that the closure is correct.

If the speed on the screen is 5 km/h, it means that the average speed section is over. The easiest way is to tap on the screen - the navigator icon and it closes.
PS
iGo Primo WinCE 9.6 - these or others are on android. At the peak of their activity, these programs had no problems closing the average speed section. It worked like this, opened and closed spc files, but now they are gone. And the spc files were updated 4 times a year. Who will undertake to implement the closure of medium-speed sections in the old programs. New programs 64 bit now.

"Check box" Mobile ambush confirmed after.

Using POIbase mobile navigation, confirmations regarding mobile speed cameras are constantly recorded and time—stamped; therefore, the number of confirmed mobile speed cameras — for example, for a certain month - represents actual data, provided that the driver was physically present at a certain location and confirmed the presence of a mobile speed camera.

Here's how it works in OSC: to confirm the presence of a mobile radar, you need to click a button in the properties of an object on the OSC map. What does it mean? The frequency of mobile radar confirmation is 0.1% per year — in other words, almost no one confirms them. Therefore, you can use the OSC database in two ways.
The first way is not to use mobile radars: when exporting, do not check the box next to the "Mobile Ambush" export object.

The second way is to export with mobile radars. When exporting, check the box next to the export object labeled "Mobile ambush".
in the other options column on the right, do not mark "Mobile ambush confirmed after".

Spoiler: 2

If you have the "Mobile ambush confirmed after" checkbox enabled during export, you will receive data for mobile radars that have been confirmed. In some Countries, there will be no mobile radars at all.

And if you downloaded the OSC database and decided to share your success by publishing files on the Internet, do it right — the name and content should match, if the file name is "Mobile_SpeedCams" then the file should have this type.

Here is an example:

iGO_OpenSpeedcam_Fix_&_Mobile_SpeedCams_World _2026.07.03.txt
Romania OpenSpeedcam Fix & Mobile SpeedCamText 2026.07.03..txt

However, this file contains almost no "mobile radars" data. If you publish OSC database data, you must make sure that it is done correctly — or not publish it at all. Users who download these files from (Cserrobi – Sunnyside Navi) while waiting for alerts from mobile speed cameras do not receive them on their navigation devices; I often encounter such files on various technical forums. Beware of non-competent OSC database publications.

OSC World - there is no whole world in the OSC database, there is only Europe. Initially, the OSC project was created for Russia and neighboring countries. Later, through my efforts, the whole of Europe appeared in the database. If you see an opportunity to download other countries in the database, then this is frozen data or incomplete data.
