2006-2 DVD with UK speed camera locations included
 

I have just uploaded the 2006-2 High disk including UK speed cameras to [LINK REMOVED - NOT COMPLIANT WITH FORUM GUIDELINES].

It has been split up into 28 files on Rapishare.
The DVD contains all UK fixed and mobile camera sites using the latest database from GPS world.

These files have now been deleted by Rapidshare following complaints!!! 22/09/2006

Ma, I need Nav BAD..I just got flashed about an hour ago...

Thats great -

Could I be abit naive and ask what other bits of kit will i need to succesfully burn this to a DVD?

Will i need a DVD-R or DVD+R
Can i use DVD-RW?

Also what burning software to you reccomend? I have Nero but i am assuming that this will not be sufficient?

I have MKIV DVD

Thanks in advance :thumbup:

I use a good quality DVD-R, burned as slow as possible. Also, I used DVD Decrypter to burn it. I don't know about a DVD-RW.

I have now also added the Word document which details exactly how to do this, including links to required software etc.

Thanks Chris

I will give it a go tonight. The Speed Camera Database will hopefully make us all safer drivers :)

The next thing BMW NAV needs is audible sounds when POI's are near by. Then it will be as good as my TOMTOM which i use in my other cars.

Will keep you posted on how i get on.

Help
 

Simply impossible to download. Wouldnt it be better to post to a server which is easily accessible and not chargeable ?

Life is simple after all;)

Unfortunately I have a Premium account to Rapidshare, so that's why I uploaded it there. I only paid £6 for this, but they do a short term one for £2. Then you can load all of the links into Rapidget and download them in one go.
Alternatively, follow the instructions and make your own!

thank you Chris!!! been waiting long for this

Link Not Working
 

the Link is Not Working

please post a new link

I just tried it with no problems!

guys, it seems that some people here on the board managed to get a DVD with french cameras, others are working on german ones plus this version with english cameras. would it be possible to join these efforts and prepare a 2007 dvd (when it comes out) with speed cameras from the UK, France and Germany?

Thanks
 

thanks for the link but i could not download them.

i already have a copy that i bought from ebay, i wanted a further copy as a spare as my copy is scrached and i can not copy it

thanks again

Thanks for that... well worth the £6 imho

Cant understand why people will buy copies from ebay for a tenner that have been burned too quickly, are on dubious quality disks, etc., and then wont pay £6 to download it off the net from a forum member...

b :)

the copy i bought from ebay also has the Fernch cameras on it

I got a cheaper and easier idea for you boys.

DON'T SPEED.

....... but we need to know where the accident black spots are for safety reasons. These are after all the only places where cameras are located!!!

Forgive my lack of understanding in these matters Chris but...

I,ve subscribed to Rapidshare and Pocket GPS World and downloaded your (28) 2006-2 files but I'm having trouble uderstanding your instruction document!

1. Do the 2006-2 files include the latest camera locations or do I have to get these from PGW as per your instructions?

2. If included, do I have to convert them to an ISO image before I can burn them onto a DVD or is the file extension .rar that of an ISO image?

3. Under 2 of your instructions) I have downloaded the latest 'pocketgps_europe.asc' zip file from Pocket GPS World. Where should I extract it too?

4. Under 3 b) I'm unable to access the ASCI to IDX/URL Mk4 convertor.

5. Could you please expand on 4) & 5), I'm not sure if I understand these.

6. Lastly, how do you keep the camera information up to date? Do you have to go through this procedure each time there are updates or is there a quick fix?

Thx for your patience:confused:

If you have downloaded them all you need to do is extract the iso file from them and burn it as an image.

See above. Just click on the first of the 28 rar files and a single iso file will be extracted.

Any suitable folder on your hard drive.

It appears this link is now dead. I have added it to the folder containing the 28 rar files.

4) File open. Locate the asc file and open it. Now go File > save and select TomTom asciII from the bottom drop down list. Now save it.
5)Open the command prompt by going to the start button, slect RUN and type CMD, press enter. You will get a black dos box. Type CD\ and press enter. Now type C\XXXX\: asc2idxurl_mk4 CAMERAS where XXXX equals the directory the asci file is in.

No, just create new CAMERAS.idx and CAMERAS.url files each time.

Am in the process of downloading this, not a complete newbie with regards to computers and suchlike but i am new to fiddling with the nav system.

Car is an 02 3.0d Sport with nav (obviously), so I want to know if this disk will work once burned. I believe that there are differences in the nav units (Mark I, II, III, IV, etc) and you can brick your unit by trying to upgrade it with the wrong software.

So - Will this DVD work on my system?
- Will it update my system in anyway, importantly in any potentially harmful way?

*edit* - Have found out that my nav system is Mark 3, running v18.2 software and a 2002 disk. The latest I can upgrade to is v22, so will try and find out how to do that. So, still wondering if this nav dvd will work? - *edit*

Thanks, Disco

help
 

I have also downloaded all 28, but when I try to unrar there apears to be a CRC checksum error. I think that the source is not good and requires attention.

I await your feedback

Downloaded and unrared for me no problem. Only thing is that I now know that it won't work for me as my system is cd based and I need the Navteq VDO Dayton 2006-2 cd for the Uk rather than this DVD, damn !

Disco

I've seen this before when an individual download has been paused and then resumed. All these files are sound (as per the post above), so you need to re-download the file(s) with the error.

Is there a way to get notified when you come near a speed camera, like a beep or something?

Maybe in the GPS-settings?

Thanks, J.

No, there's no audible capability for this built into the nav unit.

Don't suppose you can get hold of the Navteq 2006-2 CD that i require for the Uk could you ???

Disco

No, but the 2006-1 CD is readily available. I just took a quick look on emule and it's there. Seems small at 691.3MB though.

Currently Dl-ing what I believe to be the correct one. Yup, will be small as Mk III is cd based so none of these 4.4gb images, lol

Disco

It won't work for a Mk III and CD map disk, you need to have 4-1/60 (V26) or higher for the icons to be read from the disk. You will probably be able to get a list of cameras as POI, but that's not a lot of use.

I assumed he just wanted to source the disk, not attempt to add the speed cameras!

Correct.

Disco

Seems about right for a cd, as most cds are 700mb capacity

Speedcamera POI-icon on roadmap
 

Can you tell me what I have to do to chance the icon of the speedcamera's on the roadmap?
I want to give it an other colour.
Thanks.

Help
 

Finally managed to download 28 files and unrar them.
When I open the iso img in the Tables folder and then 0 folder it appears as follows:

0079.ASC
0079.IDX
0080.URL
0080.URL.URL

Is this correct ?

Also how can I change the icons to the Uk style english cameras for both the splash screen and the icons that appear on the map ?
Where can these be downloaded and added to the iso img ?

Thanks

funny that the speed camera option is under "entertainment" :D

I'm struggling
 

I have some problems in converting the ASC to IDX&URL-formats. I do have speedcameras in a CAMERA.ASC-file, but the conversion fails. When I start the asc2idxurl_mk4_01.exe it asks the directory and some password. At the end it looks like the utility starts to convert itself instead of the CAMERA.ASC-file.

If somebody knows how to solve this, please tell me.

[QUOTE=Chris_h]
It appears this link is now dead. I have added it to the folder containing the 28 rar files.QUOTE]

asc2idxurl_mk4
 

Still unable to open this file Chris. The DOS box just flashes up for a split second then disappears. I've also tried opening it with the Run command. Same thing happens.

You need to run it from the command prompt as per the instruction document. I did this myself when creating my own iso file and it worked perfectly.
This is the text from the document:

5) Run the asc2idxurl_mk4.exe program from the command prompt in the folder you downloaded everything to, make sure that there is only one .ASC file, the one saved from the POI convertor. Use the following command line : asc2idxurl_mk4 ENG CAMERAS

Chris,

Can you answer ?

Yes, the file structure you quote is the same as the .iso file I have which works correctly.
The UK camera icons are in NCCBEU_EU_20060126>ICONS>NAVI0X & RR folders and are named POI_CAMERA.png. These are enabled by default as they are referenced by the ENG.LSC file. The splash screen has the French camera icon on as it has never been changed. Seems little point really.

Chris

This is the one I use :

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/richard...era_splash.jpg

Yes, that's the French 'Autovelox' one that was originally in the French iso I used as the base for mine.

No it's not, I made it! :) This is the French one:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/richard...ra_splash2.jpg

Do I win a prize if I can spot the difference??

Maybe the image has been cashed by your ISP, do a Ctrl + refresh. They are different, honest! If that does not work I'll put it up with a different name.

Yeah, it was cached!! Even I can spot the difference(s) now!!

If it hasn't been said already..... Thanks Chris for this thread!! :thumbup:

Perspective Mode for X5
 

:rofl: Hi Chris, I just downloaded and made the DVD from your files for the 2006-2 maps. Works great, thanks very much. I have seen that the perspective mode for the display works for some systems. I turned on my system MK4 tp perspective mode, but it does not show perspective maps. Do you know if it works on the X5 nav systems? Again thanks for the upgrade!

Sorry if this question is for Chris, who is far better educated than me when it comes to Navigation questions, but just to let you know the perspective mode works fine on mine. After you have turned perspective on in the hidden menu, you still have to select it under 'map positioning' - it's the 3rd option. Direction of travel and pointing North being the first 2 options.

Hi every time I try to extract the 28 files together or one by one while TUGZip is extracting the files the ISO Image/File is in the folder but when its finished extracting the ISO Image/File disapears. Whats going on? :confused:

Grant.

Hi Grant,

I don't know how TUGZip works. Download Winrar's trial version and use that. Just clicking on the first file will allow you to extract all 28 files into a single iso with Winrar.

Chris

Hi Chris I managed to extract all the files and burn them to dvd, but when the dvd is in the nav unit I dont see anything about the speed cameras. Did I have to add something to the files at all?

Grant.

They are at Information > Travel Information > Info on Location > Car > Speed Cameras

Chris

Ok Ill go and give it a go agian now and see.

No not there. Im gonna extract the files again and burn to another disk and see if it works then.

The above location is where they are on my M3. I assume it would be the same on any High nav system, but I'm not certain. What car do you have? Maybe someone else with the same car has had the same issue.

Hi Chris I have a Cooper S and running v27.1 software aswell.

Grant.

Ive looked in all the options in Information and cant find anything for speed cameras.

Well hopefully someone on here with a Mini will have the answer.

Hi Chris I got it to work. I think it was the ENG.LSC file and there were two lots of the 0079 and 0080 files.

It looks so cool with the cameras on the screen.

Grant. :rofl:

ive had a problem with getting it to display on mine too...
can you explain what you did? do I need to delete the duplicate files or rename them or something?..

Hi G-man,

What exactly didi you do to fix the problem as I have exacty the same thing with my Mini and Chris and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.

Any help MUCH appreciated...

Cheers - R

Hi rakh1

I deleted the 0079 and 0080 files and replaced them with the files I converted. I also replaced the ENG.LSC file with one I got from mini2 in the speed camera on sat nav sticky.

If you want more help the send me a PM.

Grant.

icons
 

Chris,
burned the dvd no problem, is there something you have to do to display the speed camera icons? I can get hotels etc. but not the speed cameras.

Cheers
Steve

Steve,

You should find them at Information > Travel Information > Info on Location > Car > Speed Cameras.
However, Mini owners are having issues (see above). However, if you have a 3 series or an X5, you should be OK.

Chris

icons
 

Chris,
works fine now (maybe I should of read the previous posts first to find the answer!)

Cheers

How to add this data?
 

Chris,
Sorry if this is extremely clear to long term X5'ers, but I did a quick search and didn't see any links about how to add data.

If you know where there is a link, can you point me to it? I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area where the first highway photo radar has been launched by an Aussie firm. Until we ban mobile phone usage, I am doing everything in my power to make the photo radar cams useless. I want to add this info to the USA data.

Thank you for your efforts and assistance!
;)

I'm not totally sure what you're asking here. Is it how to add speed camera location coordinates to the sat nav DVD so they can be viewed on the nav screen?

Chris

Yes. I want to highlight these in America as I am fighting to either eliminate them, or ban mobile phone use. If we don't eliminate mobile phone use, then I want to legalise drunken driving.

F-cking Blonde Barbies in their SUVs here are like terrorists with strapped on bombs. My attack plan is to continue driving 150+MPH every day to scare them out of their silicone infested panties and make them pay attention to their driving. I've driven 8 months without a ticket - I have a secret weapon and I will continue to use it to terrorize idiots on mobile phones until we book them in jail for at least 30 days with a $10,000 fine.

Hi Guilden,

I don't quite see the correlation between speed cameras and mobile phone use??
Anyway, to set up a NA 2006-2 disc up with speed camera locations, you can use the instructions I've already posted here.. The only difference is you would need the NA GPS co-ordinates for the locations in this format:

;* Created by POIConverter version 3.15 on 10/07/2006
;* Longitude, Latitude, "Name" [, "Description"]
-2.17788, 50.68304, "GATSO:1@40"
-2.09934, 50.70723, "GATSO:2@30"
-2.08936, 53.50270, "GATSO:3@20"
-0.11078, 52.02661, "GATSO:8@70"
-0.39579, 51.52150, "GATSO:10@50"
-2.48386, 52.69615, "GATSO:12@30"
-2.07762, 53.51140, "GATSO:13@30"
-2.74783, 53.32440, "GATSO:14@60"

There is a website in the UK where we can download this data for £2, but we are so infested with cameras it's a worthwhile enterprise. Not sure how you'll get this info yourself. I just had a quick scan on Google and it seems there are only about 1000 cameras in the whole of NA. There must be that amount in London alone here!!
For our NA cousins, I attach a map of Southern England showing the amount of cameras.

Thanks for that!

The issue I have with photo radar on highways is that the women who drive huge SUVs (twice or three times bigger than an X5) with a mobile glued to their head love photo radar. When people drive fast they have to drop their mobile phone and pay attention to their driving. With the photo radar in place, they feel comfortable driving a 6,500 lb truck around at 60MPH while not paying attention.

I am pushing hard to ban mobile phone use while driving in Arizona. The first piece of legislation is to ban use, with a $10,000 and 1 month in jail first time penalty. The other is to legalize drunken driving if mobile phone use is not made illegal - just to raise the point that it is lunacy to outlaw drunken driving while allowing mobile use while driving.

Hi - this is for those MINI owners that have not got this working...

I found that you need to make an addition to the ENG.LSC file in order to include the Speed Cameras for the MINI. Here is a section of that file: I have highlighted the parts concerning the MINI and in RED is the code that needs to be added. It appears that on starting the menu the car knows its type and hence goes to a certain menu tree. Whereas BMW would go to GRP-2 the MINI would go to GRP-3 and hence miss the 104 category as it pulls line 80 instead of 70.

Hope that helps you - it now works for me :)

Hi Rakh1,

Thanks a lot for this. When the new 2007 map disc is out and I make an update, I will include this information for Mini owners.

Microsoft Autoroute map with all UK speed, redlight, temp and mobile cameras
 

If anyone is interested in the Microsoft Autoroute map with all UK speed, redlight, temp and mobile cameras, it is now included here.

These maps are copyrighted. You'd better hope that Navteq and Microsoft don't come and knock on your door...

Is that an observation, or a criticism?

Man, downloading these files is a bit fiddley!! Anyone got it onto emule yet? I am not complaining... just wondering if it was in one place before I pay for this multifile downloading thing from Rapidshare.

Oh... also... Chris_h, any chance of changing your dog avatar? It gives me the jeebies!!

Try CCF82FB97D012067CE117C294301549C

Certainly not. He's my favourite. He used to watch my wife undressing whilst licking his lips. That got rid of her pretty quickly!!!;)

Unfortunately Rapidshare had a 100MB limit on file size when I uploaded these. This has now been increased to 300MB so next time............!

Sweet! nice one Rich. I shall try getting that tonight!

Just quick note to say I downloaded the 28 files yesterday and burnt a disc last night. Just been on a 300 mile round trip to Hartford and the new disc works perfectly, the Speed Camreras are mostly present, (the one outside my house is missing!!) and I can select addresses by postcode. So very many thanks for an excellent and informative thread.

Oscar :)

Thanks Oscar. Strange about the one outside your house!! Still, hopefully you'll remember that one anyway!!

Chris

Ok, almost had all of them on a freebie!!! Ok I'm a cheap skate :D But I had 2006-01 with POI that I was happy with. And now the link has stopped working. Looks like its been taken down :dunno: :banghead: :bawling:

Gonna try the emule link posted earlier. If any one has links to the multi-parted files then please report back :driver:

Yes. I just checked and all 28 links plus the other files (V28 firmware, instructions, Autoroute file etc.) have been removed by Rapidshare. This only happens if someone complains to them!!

See http://www.bmwnavaddpoi.co.uk/neroway.htm for a good description of what's involved.

It seems the mods have deemed these files 'non compliant' after Rapidshare had removed them anyway!:confused:

Chris

Advice
 

Any one know where I can get a copy of the 2006-02 DVD Data with the POI (Camera's); I've looked in the normal locations on P2P but can't find them. If someone could share a torrent link that would be fab.

;)

Sorry to bump this, but like jim, does any one have a copy or a link/torrent etc. I've just bought a mk4 and would like the sepped camera function :)

sorry my fingers don't want to work, that should read speed cameas.

I'll sell you a 2006-2 DVD along with the V28 upgrade CD for £25.00 inc P&P. Just make a PayPal payment to[link removed-ekaz] & you will have it within 48 hours. The same goes for anybody else who might want one. Of course, you could alternatively spend 36 hours downloading the 3.6Gb map disk data then tear your hair out trying to add the Speed Camera database from PocketGPS World or find that your 36 hour download is corrupt..............................

Regards, Mike:)

Download the 9 files from here and burn. [Link Removed]

Thanks chris, dl now :)

Thanks again Chris, downloaded, burned and installed, all working perfectly.

hi can anybody help with a link to get the europe 2006-2 DVD. ive just got a MK4 unit and haven't got a maps DVD? any help please...... Thanks

For those of you looking for these files, and who PM me requesting them:

These files were removed from Rapidshare following complaints. I am not re uploading them as they are just removed again.
I may add an updated camera file to the Euro 2007-1 when I get it and make it available. I will post on this board if and when that happens.

Chris

Hi Chris If you do put the 2007-1 with camera files on here that would be excellent.

Grant

Hi,

I tried today to add radars on a 2007.1 nav but I couldn't do it because the script included (the one that convert asc files) shows errors during conversions. Is there another way to conver my asc file ? Is there a tutorial for the 2007.1 version? Thanks !

Hi all,
Ive successfully downloaded the 2007-1 (3.6GB) file from bt, however they come down as serveral numbered files (hks-bmw-high-2007-1.rXX) - what do I do to stick 'em on the DVD? Do I simply burn them directly (using ImgBurn/Roxio) or do I need to compile them first somehow?? - Am new to the BMW DVD DIY thing but very techie otherwise!
Thanks all

PS I downloaded the German bt as I couldnt find the english version.

u need a program called winrar, after you've installed winrar click any of the hks-bmw-high-2007.rxx files and the image file will be in there. extract the file to a folder and burn the image. i used alcohol 120% and burned at 2x speed and it works fine.

B - Thanks - it was looking at me in the face!
All done now and Image working fine!

Now, just to figure out how to drop in the Speed Cameras!

Updated version of DVD
 

The cost of updating my 2004-2 version from BMW is £200+
Do you know of a cheaper way of getting an update

You have a PM.

Easier upload
 

Wouldn't it be quicker to just use software that compares the origonal to the new DVD image.I have used software for patching images for cd.Isn't there one for DVD images?If anyone can help everyone out it would save time and bandwidth.Laters Kev
