Sat Nav upgrade with speed cameras

[lsteph0]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone had installed the 32.2 version of the sat nav software and what you thought of it. I believe that it does night mode and updated maps as well as the speed cameras and was thinking of installing it on my Z4M.

I have that firmware on my car - but i have 2008-2 CD maps so mine is not the most upto date.

Also dont think any of the stock maps have a speed camera database - that is something which you will need to mod your DVD for.

Where do you get the updates/firmware from?

And how much are they?

Firmware updates are available for free from xoutpost.com.

I downloaded a V32 update CD as well as custom V32 that enables Speed camera alerts and night mode from there.

As said above you then need to modify the map DVD to include speed camera locations. Best source of these is pocketGPSworld.com for £20 a year. There are some free databases online but they might be out of date.

Although it's not hard to work out though with the info on Xoutpost for anyone techno-phobic I'd be happy to send them the firmware CD and instructions if wanted.

2 Questions :

1) Can you turn night mode off/on yourself ?
2) Can you make the POIs beep , like a tomtom does when you are approaching a speed camera ?

Yes you can - in fact need to turn night mode on and off yourself. I leave it on all the time since much easier to see the roads:

The way I have mine set with custom firmware from Xoutpost the stereo goes "BEEP BEEP Speed camera ahead". The warning increases in distance from the camera with speed. It does however pick up cameras which aren't on the road you are travelling on. In essence you are a bubble that gets bigger with speed. Any cameras that enter that bubble trigger the alert. Not as good as say a TomTom but would't be without it.
