￫ Answer
1. Does this database work in my sat nav unit?
First compare your unit with the pictures for VW, SEAT or Skoda on our website.
Furthermore try our free sample file before purchase. The sample file covers often used mobile speed camera locations in Europe. When mobile speed cameras are displayed on your device the installation of the sample file was successful. You'll be able to install the full database.
2. I turned off red light POIs but I still get audio warnings. Do you know what to do?
Visuals can be enable or disable by "Select categories for POIs". However, this setting for each category only applies to the display in the map.
Audio warnings can be enable or disable with "Note: My POI". But this setting applies global to all installed POIs.
That means: You can disable separate POI categories for display in the map. But disabled POIs stay exist in your device. They are still installed. So you still hear audio warnings. Sorry, but VW software does not do the best job in that case.
3. Why the device alerts as soon as I get close to a camera/speedcam that is not on my route?
In generally, the software of devices from VW, SEAT and Skoda alerts if a camera POI is close to you. The software doesn't match the POI with your route. Therefore the software alerts when you get closer to a camera even it's not on your route.
We cannot influence the device software. Speed camera data can only be integrated as a POI file.
4. Where can I download mobile speed cameras?
Mobile speed cameras are already included in the download of fixed cameras. Inside of the download file scdb.zip you find two folders (version 1 and 2) and subfolders for "only fixed cameras" and "fixed and mobile cameras".
5. Which type of cameras and how many mobile camera data are included?
We are providing most frequently used locations for mobile speedcam traps in Europe. That's a free gift from our side in addition to the fixed speed cameras. These will prevent you from getting caught by any of up to 50,000 traps including laser, radar pistols or other instantaneous speed measurement. The data are the result of various smartphone application reports of the past 365 days (e.g. Camsam application). Note: You don't get all reports. You only get the most frequently used locations. The total number of cameras varies every week.
