Speed camera plug-in for Garmin - SCDB.info - The worldwide Speed Camera Database [Jan 30 2013]

Looks like the SCDB database has lat/long info in the form of multiple *.csv files. While it does appear to be verified (no duplicates), how exactly does it:

* Directional camera alerts
* Camera-specific alerts such as average speed and mobile zones
* Alerts relevant to journey
* Overspeed alerts
* Alerts tailored to road layout and navigation experience

I was under the impression Cyclops does this via waypoints and that a simple lat/long location indicates whenever you intrude into the radius around the location.

Does anyone know further?

SCDB is just a collection of Waypoints that you compile yourself by using PoiLoader.
Poiloader does not support Directional Camera Alerts (Make up your own mind on this one).
Cyclops does support Directional Alerts.

Even though the Database is quite good I think that they've overstated the features.

Example POIs duplicates on Camera.csv:
[hide]

-3.38758 56.05561 ROADWORKS O","[1064565001-]
-3.38758 56.05561 ROADWORKS N","[1064502000-]
-3.38725 56.06539 ROADWORKS O","[1064565002-]
-3.38725 56.06539 ROADWORKS N","[1064502001-]

[/hide]

I tried to create my 4 POI with coordinates (but same description) by changing the coordinates ((moved to the side of the roadway and a few feet of each other)for my area. Result: no geo-corridor, but double warning!

Bye,bye
