HI.
Thanks and Great work Mathmos.
I've a little problem (french version):
I can see the list of all speed cameras in general destination, travel, speed cameras but the icon is the last request made before (hotels for exemple). It seems that speed camera icon isn't loaded.

If someone has an idea.
Welcome.

Hey
Proud owner of 525d touring with Prof Sat Nav....sadly missing my TomTom which was light years better (esp for adding Speed Cam POI), but they make your car look crap stuck to the windscreen.

Anyhoo. I only have 2005-1 disc for the nav. I've followed your excellent guide to the letter and the problem I have is that once back in the car it will not cough up any "information" at all - just says "no entries exist" when I try and display any POI info. Nav itself works fine so I know DVD burn has worked.

The only deviation I can see is that the eng.lsc file on 2005-1 disc (ntcBeu_eu.04.II_20040726 to be exact) doesnt have and of the entries you list for changing TPD-SEV onwards - it only goes as far as TPD-SEA stuff in your guide. I'm not sure how significant that is. Any thoughts?


Once I get that out of the way I'm keen to see if I can squeeze some MP3 on the same DVD and have it still recognise it for nav and for music......can't believe that the 6cd changer or front load cd decks can't read mp3 cds though- roll on the full ipod compatibility instead.

This is exactly the problem I had to start with and it cost me a lot of DVD's before I cracked it! Check your PM's

That's correct, you only have to worry about the sections that do exist.

Thanks to some great PM'ing with Mathmos - it works horray.
Was loathe to buy more software but Nero just would not burn an image that had information directories that worked, even though navigation worked. Ultra ISO did it first time and it all works good!

On to the IPOD interface!

I think the idea is that you have a go yourself and then if all fails you may get some help.

Mine took around 8 hours before I got it right (with a little help).

Definitely It really is much easier than it might seem at first and if you do get stuck just PM me.
