How to create create speed camera warning?

[k b-6]

Hi.
After reading the documentation at
http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_garmin_gpi.html#garmin_gpi_speedcams

i tried to create a speed camera warning file for my garmin etrex cx.

After moving the resulting file to the GPS i can see the cameras and they clearly state that they should alarm above a particular speed (say 70km/h) and at a distance of say 700m.

However, approaching a camera, the alarm never goes off.


This is how the content for one camera of the input file (GPX) looks:
<wpt lat="60.212742118" lon="17.478977647">
  <ele>43.000000</ele>
  <name>G600N05-70@70</name>
</wpt>

and some of the cameras are on the format:
<wpt lat="56.215221472" lon="12.678246628">
  <name>K112E02-90@90</name>
  <cmt>Jonstorp V</cmt>
  <desc>Jonstorp V</desc>
</wpt>

the command issued to convert the GPX file into a GPI file was:
gpsbabel -i gpx -f infile.gpx -o garmin_gpi,category=Cameras,alerts=1,speed=30,proximity=700m,position,hide -F poi.gpi


Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Sound or other general settings on the GPS blocking them?

Hi.
Not that i am aware of, a gpi file generated from POI Loader works very well.

However, when generating with gpsbabel 1.3.6 i get this issue.
(i should also correct that the units is garmin etrex vista cv)

After i load the gpi file generated from gpsbabel i can see the points for the cameras (which state alert speed and distance), but there is no visual alert our sound alert when approaching the points.

Karl.
