NextGen Speedcams in France

From SCDB *.txt And presumably fully cracked, originally downloaded from GPS Power, but now I can't find the original post.

No need to get it. Alert data is not protected if from *.txt so it should work. I'm currently perplexed about the problem. It seems to be very discriminating (only for France) and half-and-half (shown on map but doesn't activate) It's not a skin problem (you said none was used)
Ok, do this test, see if France .spc works (you might have to restore the hva settings) If "dangerous zone" alert works from .spc then it's proggy problem.

Restored all of the HVA code that I had modified in the last few days in an attempt to get the speed camera warnings in France working.

Commented out this entry in igo_nextgen.ini in data.zip:

[speedcam.disabled_countries]
;_FRA=1,2,3,4,5,11,7
;_SUI=1,2,3,4,5,11,7

Also included the following entries in sys.txt:

[hva]
hva_countries=""

[warning.hva]
dangerous_zone_enabled=0
dangerous_zone_warn_type=0

Success !!! Using a GPS simulator, since I'm not in France at the moment, all of the speed cameras are now giving both audible and visual warnings whilst approaching.

This result will need to be confirmed when I go back to France with actual GPS data rather than simulated GPS data, although I feel sure that it will be.

Many thanks for all of the input and assistance.

I had the same problem, and after much head scratching and coffee this is the fix I found. Bear in mind I am new to Android so still learning.

The version of iGO I use is the July17 one originally on my motorcycle gps which is a mini tablet running KitKat 4.4.2. I also have Arami's default skin, which for my ageing eyesight is great for the big speedo.

Before installing I built up iGo on the desktop of my PC, ie put all the maps and everything else I wanted in the appropriate places as per the instructions.

The system text file was then copied to the desktop and the one in iGO deleted.

Now delete the lines About speedcams not working in France and Switzerland and save. (I saved it to 'my documents).

Copy the saved System text file back into iGO.

Now copy the whole folder into whatever you are using to view iGO and install it using the 'No make sys apk'.

Hey presto, everything works.

Since first doing this I have iGO running on an Android 5.1 phone installed from the sd card with no problems and am about to try it on a head unit for the car running Android 6.0.
I have to spend my pension on something!.

Hope this is some help.

Is this iGO Primo or iGO Nextgen ?

Have you actually tried this whilst in France and did you get speed camera warnings ?

It is Next generation, and yes. I did a tour of France this year and it worked fine. I used the Pioplaza scdb and TomTom maps, available on this site. and just added the countries I needed. I tend to be listening through the intercom rather than watching on the motorcycle for obvious reasons but I was getting the warnings. I did notice they were not always 100 percent accurate for location though. From reading other threads this seems to be normal.

Try with this modified speedcam.zip.
I have tried with the speedcams from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], default skin and all cameras are visualized as popup notifications.

Spoiler: Screenshots

I have added the language selection menu for warning when not use TTS.

Spoiler: Screenshots

The folders with audio files should be placed in iGO_xxxxx\ui_nextgen\audio\speedcam_XX

Spoiler: Folders

This speedcam.zip can be used with any version of the nextgen, but only with default skin!

Hi Railroad,

That looks interesting but our posts must have crossed somewhere, I managed to solve the problem - see post 13 above.

How did you get the images, by actually driving through Paris or using a GPS Simulator ? If so which simulator because the one I'm using is rubbish ?

Best Regards.....

I assumed you used external GPS simulator since proggy simulator will not activate any speedcam alerts. Only real driving will.
What was the problem? BTW, I don't think hva has anything to do with *.txt, so you can remove those entries in sys.txt

**linknet** · 18th November 2017, 09:55 PM

Used Android App "Mock Simulator" to simulate the routes. With hva disabled alerts work fine, with hva enabled no alerts at all. Tested this several times with hva both disabled and then enabled.

In any case there is no way that I want hva warnings, just another annoying feature dreamt up by the French Government.
