Speedcams & MapMonkey/Freedrive in Advanced mode

Hi!

I just managed to get decent maps for Finland & coordinates for all the speedcams. I also have Freedrive and MapMonkey working.
I have rather old iGps (GPS Mouse?) unit.

I just noticed that when i turn the Advanced mode ON in the MapMonkey,
FD or MM cannot connect to the COM port. When i turn it OFF, everything works ok. So far thats fine..

But the question is:

I assume that this means, that the iGPS module is not SIRF compliant?
And if so, will i really miss the SpeedCam notifications in FD? It still shows
cams as little icons beside the road, but will i get any pre-notifications when approaching a cam?

or is it that my speedcam CVS file is in wrong format, does the speedcams have to have the "GATSO" string as first "type" parameter to actually get the notifications for it?

Heres part of the CVS that i imported into FD:

23.677, 61.511933, Nopeuskamera -Lielahti @70
24.781944, 60.554722, Nopeuskamera -Noppo
24.749444, 60.548333, Nopeuskamera -Rajamäki
24.686667, 60.534167, Nopeuskamera -Rajamäki

is this ok? or does it have to be like this:

"GATSO","23.677", "61.511933", "Nopeuskamera -Lielahti","70"
"GATSO","24.781944", "60.554722", "Nopeuskamera -Noppo"
"GATSO","24.749444", "60.548333", "Nopeuskamera -Rajamäki"
"GATSO","24.686667", "60.534167", "Nopeuskamera -Rajamäki"

Which one is the RIGHT format for speedcams in FD, so it will give warning
when approaching one?

FD doesn't need SIRF to do the cameras.

camera and 30 being the speed. This is the standard format which PocketGPS uses on there site.
