1 Important Note for iGO nextGen

    Your navigation device is based on iGO software from the manufacturer NNG. In some iGO versions, the manufacturer blocks the display of speed camera data in certain countries. This may include Switzerland, France, and border regions.

    WE ARE LOOKING FOR TESTERS
    So far, we have not known a solution to install speed camera data in the iGO nextGen version. You can recognize this version by the application file icon: However, there might be a way to install speed camera data. Please write to us if you have a device with iGO nextGen.

    With map and software updates, the speed camera warning function may be lost. Therefore, carefully consider whether you really need the update. Reverting to the previous version is no longer possible afterward.

    Please always try it out with our free test file before purchasing.

 

2 Free sample file

    The free sample file for Europe allows you to test if POIs can be installed on your navigation device.
    Install sample file according to this installation guide.
    The sample file has data from 2014. It does not cover all speed cameras. Do not use it for a safe trip!

4 Installation of speed camera data

  1. ZENEC devices are based on iGO navigation software. But the installation procedure may be different.
    Try one of these two methods:

    Choose Installation method 1 if the navigation software is stored on SD card.
    This method should be suitable for most devices.

    Choose Installation method 2 if the navigation software is not stored on SD card.
    In this case you may have to use the synctool from naviextras.com to prepare an USB flash drive or SD card. The need depends on the device.

 

4.1 Installation method 1 (navigation software stored on SD card)

    e.g. for
    ZENEC Z-E 2026
    ZENEC Z-E 3726
    ZENEC Z-E 3766
    ZENEC Z-E 3776
    ZENEC Z-N 626
    ZENEC Z-N 720
    ZENEC Z-N 956
    ZENEC ZE-NC 2011D

  1. Remove the SD card from the ZENEC device.

  2. Connect the SD card to the computer.

  3. Open Windows Explorer (Mac: Finder).
    Go to SD card directory ... > content > speedcam.
    Delete all files inside of the folder speedcam.
    Copy and paste the unzipped file Speedcam.txt into the folder speedcam.
    Note: Create folder speedcam by yourself if it doesn't exist.

  4. Safely remove the SD card from the computer.

  5. Connect the SD card to the ZENEC device.

  6. Power on the ignition.
    The boot process may now take a little longer, as the speed camera data is imported into the software.

  7. Remove the SD card from the ZENEC device.

  8. Connect again the SD card to the computer.

  9. Open the directory ... > content > speedcam.
    Now there should be 3 files inside:
    Speedcam.txt
    speedcam.spdb
    SpeedcamUpdates.spud

  10. Check the file sizes.
    There has to be no file with file size of 0 KB!

    Solve the issue as following if the file SpeedcamUpdates.spud has a file size of 0 KB:
    a) Make a copy of the file speedcam.spdb.
    b) Delete the file SpeedcamUpdates.spud.
    c) Rename the copied file into SpeedcamUpdates.spud.

    It never should look like that:

  11. Safely remove the SD card from the computer.

  12. Connect the SD card to the ZENEC device.

  13. Make sure that the device gets a real GPS signal.
    Your vehicle should be outdoors. Probably, you will not find real GPS signal if your vehicle is in the garage.

  14. Check all preferences in the device to enabling speed camera alerts.
    Go to Settings > Sound and Warning > Alerts > Alert Point Settings (Einstellungen > Audio & Warnungen > Warnpunkte > Warnung bei Warnpunkten).
