You just need to replace the previously modified files in your ISO with the .url and .idx files.

For those starting from scratch I have also included the .html files and speed camera icon.

Should also work for other versions, but you will have to renumber the files.

You can ignore most of the guide, because I have done the tricky bit.

All you need to do is create an 'image' or ISO of the nav disc on your PC.

Then insert the files that I have posted in the relevant directories mentioned in the guide, burn it back to a DVD + RW and stick it in the dash.

The handiest thing of all is to just download the 2007-02 DVD (with June '07 UK speed camera database) thru bittorrent. Viv kindly supplied the link in a previous thread.
It only took me 8 hours overnight to download the ISO - when my broadband is unmetered.

Broadband is an always-on service, there are no per-min charges. Most contracts these days come with a bandwith limit though e.g. 20GB or 50GB of traffic per month.

Overnight (1pm - 6pm or so) does not usually count toward this total as it is a period of low demand.

My provider does not seem to enforce it that much though mine was 25GB per month, but one month I did 120GB

No problem- glad it was of use to you 330cdsport!

I've been playing with google maps & some nicely available software to let you make your own POIs for the SatNavPro- it doesn't have to be just speedcams!

I'll stick a new thread up over the weekend, if anyone's interested, well, even if nobody's bothered, I'm still posting it!

Steve, I could quite easily 'add' the data, as long as someone has it in the first place- I wonder?!

Hello. Newby here...

Any chance of including the .idx file in a .csv or similar format?

TIA.

Hi BB.

Welcome & I hope you're enjoying the forum.

Both the .url & .idx files are needed, if you want to use any self-produced POIs (points of interest eg speedcams) on the BMW SatNavPro DVD.

Unfortunately, you cannot just stick a standard .csv / .asc / .gpx etc file on the disc- it just won't work.
You need to convert that info into a .url & .idx file, using the info provided here (step 13).

If you want the speedcam data as a standard POI file (for your Tomtom, Garmin etc), then just download it as such, using the likes of a Bittorrent search engine.

All the best.
