Maybe I'm wrong, gloucester...I was under the impression that the speed cameras were no longer available on the Connect 3 system after a certain date, but I couldn't tell you what the date was, but I'm sure I read it on here.

The Connecta 3 ICE unit (2017 - as mine) has an upload function for POI's for both Speed Cams and your own POI file. If you insert a USB stick with a .csv file aboard (and yer mp3s etc), turn the ICE on and you will get an instant recognition by the ICE of a .csv file present that you may like to "download". That will either install the below file types to ICE memory or overwrite whats there. You can do similar in the ICE menus referring to POI's..

USB File Structure is:
Drive/myPOIwarnings/ *.csv
Drive/myPOIs.csv

* is any name you wish e.g Fred. Speedcam, whatever. As long as the file type is .csv from either MS Excel or Libre Office. The latter is free and also free of so much Microsoft b*llox and cost (rental now)

The dealer/factory does not install this stuff except in one instance that appears to arrive along with the firmware perhaps. There is a file stuck in the Connecta memory. I'll get a pic of it and add here later. It is not deletable and appears to do nothing. If it were anything it may have been an earlier effort by Nissan to provide POIs etc? So thats about 2016/17 when they touted NissanConnect...then didn't do it and withdrew recently. I signed up to it...something that was dead already.

Many use Waze now, only thats not for speedcams AFAIK https://www.waze.com/en-GB/

I believe pocketgpsworld have a mob phone App for their speedcam database. So, Android/Carplay ICE boxes might use that?

I suspect the Speed Cam alarms you get are about 1 year out of date now. So you may suffer both false and non alarms?
You were correct on this matter, Colin...while out this morning the Connect system failed to recognise one of the newly installed speed cameras I went past, it picked up 3 of the more long standing ones that are in the area.

Think I might just stick with the TomTom Amigo app on my phone, as that recognises all but the mobile ones.

yes...users of pocketgpsworld would've updated the database (db) or stuck the co-ordinates in the db they have now. Whats the Lat/Long of the camera you saw...from Google Map. I'll look for it on my latest db's

The Android/iPhone version is here: CamerAlert and is included in the pocketgpsworld subscription for 3 devices I think?

http://www.cameralert.com/manual/?os=android

I've just downloaded it from Play store and loaded up the latest db...works ok. I can see tricky mobiles close to me which are always a worry. Just need to drive around with it a bit.

Hi,

Just got me a Nissan Qashqai Dig-T 1.6 N-Connecta 2018 and setting up the Nav system. Everything seems to work just fine besides the alert for radars. I have turned on everything under my POIs and it still doesnt work.
Do I have download anything else or it comes pre installed.
Please advise.
Thanks

Yep...you need to load POI map data. Search for POI on this forum

Think I might of misread your post. POI map data (Lat/Long) has to be loaded.

Did you expect something particular for radar operation? First read the manual about that
