Thread: SCDB or Cyclop - which is best for Garmin device?

They're different operation of alerts, albeit on the same 'radars'. As said before by the very knowledgeable osiris4isis, Cyclops are directional which means they only alert in the direction(s) monitored by the camera. SCDB and other similar POIs are radial, they alert whichever direction from which you approach the cam and therefore can give false alerts as well as the correct one. Watch this video:

Where can I find mobile radars from separate countries (France and Iberia)?

Maybe some kind soul will post them for you. Meanwhile, read this:

The new SCDB speed cameras for Garmin _ 07 Aug 2017 are making me GPS very slow perhaps because of the size of the files ...

Did you try a reset as I suggested before? Read this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

I've put the whole of the 07 Aug issue on a nuvi 255W and it caused no problems.

Why do I have to rename Current.gpx to temp.gpx?

Read this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. The procedure is the same if you are copying back to the same nuvi after a hard reset which will remove your recent history in GPX folder.

If I delete the file Current.gpx directly it will not be the same?

No, not the same as a hard reset. Removing current.gpx only removes your favorites etc as said.

What is the purpose of this file and the archive folder that is in GPX?

All explained above and if you read some more in the links and tutorials index.

If I do this, the new radars that are making me the slowest gps, changing the folder current.gpx to temp.gpx will solve the problem?

No. You ONLY need to change the name to temp.gpx when you put the file back AFTER a reset because if you put it back as current.gpx it won't work after a reset has been done.
