Speed Cams

[Redboots]

I use Kurviger and it does not have a speed cam database. Addons like CamSam don't work with Android Auto.
So... I downloaded a fixed cam, Garmin format, .csv (rather than a .gpx) from SCDB, with the appropriate .bmp for an image.
Then I ran it through POILoader to get a .gpi file, selecting only France Germany and Lux to keep the file size down.
Then, I ran it through GPSBabel to convert it to a .gpx file - the reason for this is Kurviger will not use a .gpi

The resulting .gpx can be loaded into Kurviger as an Overlay. Yea!

Not perfect as the .bmp image seems to get lost in the conversion and I just have a red dot.
The name is also not so good - like [18762]-@80 for the camera near Niederbronn.
The @80 is the key as its the speed limit.
I will see how it works en-route to Haguenau tomorrow and then see if its worth playing further.

It didn't. User error, I think

Were you informed of the app’s failure by a flash?

No.

I got it to work, sort of.
There are too many fixed cams to have all Europe so split them into countries and that makes the file_size small enough.

The overlays only seem to work when navigating and they are not announced.
More tests required.

Can't you just look carefully at your surroundings and drive slower?

You could, but that's boring and they're sneaky toads... sorry, frogs.
