This Python application provides a UK speed camera warning program for the Nokia N95 phone and other suitable Symbian Series 60 phones. It is designed to operate in the background (e.g. whilst using Nokia Maps or in standby) and popup to the foreground with an audio visual alert, then return to the background.

The application together with an installation and user guide is availalable as a free download

A suitable speed camera data file is required. A dummy file speedcam.txt is provided to illustrate the required format of the file. The good source of up to date files is available at Pocket GPS World (I have no affiliation with them) - an annual subscription is required to obtain the relevant file (pocketgps_uk_sc.csv) from: (http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras)http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras (http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras)
An old pocketgps_uk_sc.csv file that can be used to try out the application is available free in: (http://www.pocketgpspoi.com/downloads/pocketgps_uk_sc_oct05.zip)http://www.pocketgpspoi.com/downloads/pocketgps_uk_sc_oct05.zip (http://www.pocketgpspoi.com/downloads/pocketgps_uk_sc_oct05.zip)

This application has only been tested on an N95-1 running V21 firmware using both the internal GPS and an external BlueTooth GPS, but should work with other Series 60 phones that support Location Based Services.

Awesome share mate, working fine with N81. +rep for you.

please upload the latest speedcam csv if u have it.

Damn :~ "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to --{N_P}-- again."

Great share... More ammo against our police that prefer not to fight other more dangerous road crimes than speeding.

For those in France the program appears to take cvs files from http://www.alertegps.com/
Choose the Nuvi models to get a garmin.zip that contains several files (red lights, danger zones, fixed and mobile cams)

I'll get back with test results in a few days...

By the way it would be good if you put in some credit and a link to the author like his site at http://mcbiskits1.googlepages.com/

NIce one Brilliant stuff Npope :sorry: have to spread some rep :thanks:

Please find attached an updated UK P**GPS file

UK Single file Speed Camera database
updated 01.2008

already in the proper format to be used with this program.

Just put it in the E:\SpeedCam\ folder, replacing the dummy one.
:good2:

PS sorry N_P I must spread...

i dont unserstand garmin uses csv files.i can use them on this application too?and its only for uk or depends on csv we have installed?

Yes you can use Garmin files.
BTW Garmin doesn't use directly .csv files but .GPI files: the .csv file is only used as a source to import the POI via Poiloader (it creates a .GPI file) ;)

You can certanly use files from other Countries but the problem is the description: The program uses the description to recognise the type of Camera and it conforms to the standard used by Po**etGPS in UK.
i.e.
GATSO@40
MOBILE@60
RedLight@30
(the @speed is instead a Garmin standard)
:)

Excellent app, thanks for the share (the app and the speedcam file)

Cheers

Simon

what we need is a program to convert all other formats to standard required by this program ,

can i use zoned alerts with this programme for example:

gasto 20 with audio alert
gasto 30 with audio alert. and so on!!??

ummmm does anyone know where can i find the database for greece mates? Thanks in advance :)

do we know what format it will need to be to be recognised by nokia maps?

Here are all the files u need to make this app work all packed in one!

SpeedCam_v1_3_0 - Needs to be signed
SpeedCamData_v1_0_0 - Signed
AppSwitch103 - Needs to be signed
Location Requestor - Needs to be signed
Speedcam.txt - Provided by scoiattolo49

I've tried this wonderfull program with dutch camera's but it doesn't work. Can somebody look at the file and tell me what is wrong with it?

Thanks!

there is no camera type in it , FC and MC

If you want to create your own database for other Countries, you need first to find the appropriate file (Garmnin .csv) or convert it from TT format (use Poiedit).

Then you need to change the description to conform with the UK Pocketgps standard:

GATSO: Fixed camera locations
MOBILE: mobile cameras possible locations
REDLIGHT: Traffic light cameras
TEMP: Temporary camera installations, e.g. Road works.
SPECS: Section cameras. Average speed over the controlled section

Better to get separate files for each tipe and then replace whatever description with the description above (i.e. for a file containing fixed cameras, all descriptions will be the same: GATSO).
After you have all the files with the proper descriptions, you just consolidate them in one.

Please note that you need to retain (o convert) the info about speed limit in this (Garmin) format @XXX (i.e. @50 means the limit is 50). Any other way will be ignored.

As I live in France I would be interested in the same application that works with Km/h as opposed to MPH.

Having taken a quick look at the installed python file with a view to modify it I discovered that the guy wrote his app such that the initial file (default.py) calls a .pyc which effectively obfuscates the file for me :-(

great share as usual mate
thanx for sharing it with us
rep to you+++:yawinkle:

Already works in Km/h. Read the instruction included in the attachment of the first post
:hehe:

For those of you having trouble getting location requester signed using open signed, the correct version for open signing can be downloaded here.

Czech Republic radar database

Already works in Km/h. Read the instruction included in the attachment of the first post
:hehe:

Effectively PRESS DOWN to have the speed in KM/H .... Gosh I was tired when I posted that one :-p :ashamed:

this is database for greece.where to put them?

perfectly working thanks :)

hi can this use in singapore? Downloaded but when I open show me No location

Here is the file for The Netherlands!

perfectly working thanks :)

for some reason the V1.4 update will not run on my N82 , shuts down , if i revert to V1.3 , works 100% ,

error file generated by the program attached
any suggestions

Hi Ahmed

I'm the author. Delete the speedcam.ini file in the speedcam folder then v1.4 should work. I'll fix this for v1.5

v1.4 should work for both kph and mph files. v1.3 is only for mph. I've also changed the user interface so check the new guide.

updated... new version

I always get the alarms :-p :hehe:

what settings are you using

It's not the application. I'm afflicted with a heavy right foot :-D

Here are speedcams-file for Sweden (not tested yet, though)
creds to speedcam.tk, file downloaded from there and edited...

EDIT:

I've tested against 2 cameras now, works like a charm!

THANKS! Great app!

hi i m in s'pore install but always show location request

do u have the thing for this software that will work in canada???thnx

Here is a speedcam.txt for France.
I've taken the liberty to combine the three types of camera that are present in France and classify them such that this software will work as expected.

There are fixed cameras like GATSO units (classed as GATSO@xx)
Mobile camera emplacements (classed as MOBILE@xx)
Red Light cameras (classed as redlight@xx)

You can simply append this file to any other in order to include France.

(as far as I am aware) There are no SPECS average speed cameras(cameras that take your photo at two points and calculate the average speed).

It is however, technically possible to measure the average speed on the motorways due to the toll gate pay systems they have.

Safe driving people ! :egdance:

when I want to start the app I get no GPS source found message.. what does this mean??
