Doing it manuals is such a pain and soooo many files to change.
Using Pimp My Nav makes extremely easy to do.
Jochen,
This would not be the first time that this forum has had a hidden
agenda of some sort which is why my line of questioning was structured the way it was.
Unfortunately for people like myself who are seeking straight answers and
the idea that they can get notional help from other forum members
without excessive brain strain is always going to be a challenge.

The truth is out there somewhere right !! I will find out eventually with BabyMakingWeathers additional help I have no doubt.

I would like to point out also that Navcoder was a "hoot" and was worth whatever the effort it took to get the outcomes it delivered. Take a bow "good man".

Are you telling me they never really did land on the moon?

I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories, and I am well aware that not everyone is like me...

You nearly had me there Jochen. Speed camera positions on the moon
are a little out of normal driving range but for some the road
never ends so they say!!

What are they charging for "Lunar" premium unleaded up there?

If I can get Australian camera positions on my MKIV nav unit that will
happily send me into orbit.

Has anyone else got any pimp my nav happy experiences they can share ?

You can load speed cameras on to the Mk4 map. You can do it by hand or you can use PimpMyNav

By hand is a real pain, especially if you have no experience.

But adding Speed Cameras, or any other POI data, can be done,

I added 300 of my company locations in different categories onto my map, I did it by hand before PimpMyNav existed.
