You hit the "+" in the favorites folder...

Create a favorites folder called Speed Cams, make sure the right map with lat/longs for the CSV you are importing is loaded... Then hit "+", browse to file, and let it run... It can take a while depending on how big the file is...

The problem is it's not 100% complete... The next release will add the ability to alert, which is the whole point...

someone might be able to tell where to edit the .dat file to turn the alert on... I'm waiting on Destinator...

again david thanks for this and thanks for the bug fix for the gps voice being able to go off now, some of my clients thought that might be an issue!

Any news on the uk beta testing?

coming soon, all will be posted on the flux forums...

finishing up the downloader for the large maps, private beta testers will see map links under their my account page and a downloader to transfer them to your machine...

more details soon...

The file has to be in the proper format... I used the same format that map monkey uses, the files you get from gpspassion.com... The first line is the headers, then the data starts with type, name, long, lat, etc... it's a certain format...

maybe in the future I will support other formats, but this was the only one I knew about at the time...

David can you point me in the direction of a csv file which would work so I can see how it is formatted. Thanks

You can google it and fine tons, but I think I meant to say the site:

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras

Here is an example of the format, it's the same other GPS softwares on mp3car used, you could search these forums as well and find tons of information and files...

Code:

Type,Longitude,Latitude,Name,Speed
"MOBILE","-1.41791","52.32594","1","0"
"MOBILE","-1.04597","51.45426","10","0"
"MOBILE","-4.28974","51.8189","100","0"
"GATSO","-1.39172","53.25751","1000","0"
"GATSO","-1.38327","53.25888","1001","0"
"GATSO","-1.36801","53.26044","1002","0"
"GATSO","-1.35931","53.2644","1003","0"

I don't know much about it, I don't nor ever will use speed camera's... I used the same format as map monkey, for compatibility and I figured it was a standard...

all the files our on his website...

just tried this with the map monkey download of the uk speedcams and when I select the file and hit ok it just shows an empty favorites screen and no speedcams imported.

nevermind I had the file open with excel as well and it must have locked it. All importing now.

David, can you provide a correct file that actually works?!? That code is not correct.

After getting "incorrect file format" message on all files I have found, all made for MapMonkey and identical format to your code, I tried making a file with your code and get the same message

ask hatton920 where he got his files, they seemed to work for him... I wrote it based on file format I posted, so not sure what the problem is unless your saving to a weird text format I can't read or something...

I pasted the text into notepad and saved, after that renamed the file to speedcams.csv and tried to import it.

What kind of weird text format are you using

It really cant be simpler than a comma separated file as you are using, a comma is used as field separator and "" are used as text qualificator.... So how about testing this yourself? You are either using a different format, or something is wrong with RC4.

If someone has a working file for RC4 please post it.

I have attached a working mapmonkey csv file for MapMonkey. It is the same format as you have posted but it does not work in RC4.

Do you have a error.log? It might be the ending character of the file and I didn't check for it...

See if there is an empty line at the bottom of the file...
