How to use the speed camera data from this website
All navigation devices allow users to add
custom POI or "Point of Interest" information to their
navigation device. Each manufacturer often uses their own proprietry
file format for instance Garmin .GPI and MIO igo.db.
For ease of use we provide pre-formatted
speed camera & red light files specifically for the most popular.
We also provide raw .txt or .csv data which can be downloaded if
you would like to customize, edit or update the file directly yourself.
However we would appreciate you assist the wider community by making
updates on the site directly to help keep the data the most current.
 Garmin
Garmin is considered one of the leaders
in navigation devices. Current automotive models include nüvi (nuvi),
StreetPilot and zümo (zumo). You can download preformatted red light
& speed camera database files that can easily be added to your
compatible Garmin device. Simply:
1. Download the preformatted Garmin .GPI
file to a convenient location on your PC. Download icon: 
2. Copy the file to the Garmin/POI folder in your
device’s internal memory or compatible SD card.
Note: You may need to create the Garmin and/or
POI folders if they do not already exist.
Voila! Just like that, you will have red
light, speed camera and/or speed trap locations complete with speed
and alert proximity alert information.

Note: First time you are adding a speedcamera
file you should enable the Speed Camera setting found in the Warning
Settings. Depending on the size of the file the conversion may take
some time during the next bootup as the data is updated to the database,
this is normal and bootup will return to normal speed afterwards.
During conversion you will see ‘init warning messages’ appear on
the screen.
