Quote from johnsondvr on 10.04.2020, 12:59I am also finding the import GPX format a problem. Currently I download the camera database from SCDB https://www.scdb.info/en/ as CSV , to then edit the line name in Excel, convert back to CSB and then GPX using POI Tools https://www.gps-data-team.com/pda-gps-navigation/index.html. Would be great to be able to import CSV and appropriate icon into scenic without the long winded workaround. GPX is available as Volvo or Mercedes download but the names announced on Scenic are names (camera numbers) within the file and not speed.
I use two files currently for Europe (speed and redlight) but I could break the cameras down into speed type if need be from the initial download. However, I would have to then convert as a above bit change or the name entries so that Scenic announces then correctly.

@johnsondvr could you provide me the CSVs, please? I want to try out if I can convert them easier with the right icons.

Quote from Guido on 24.04.2020, 21:00Currently only GPX is supported. Every POI should be a waypoint in the GPX file. GPX is a special form of XML file. Here’s the official documentation. https://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp

Quote from Shack on 24.04.2021, 14:19I’m trying to find UK speed camera POIs to import to scenic and I’ve seen they should be gpx files.
The POI sites all seem to be “paid for” (which I’m fine with so long as I know I’m getting the right file).
Lots of lists show different gpx files for different satnavs and different cars, but scenic isn’t listed.
Does anyone know of a reliable POI site for UK safety cameras, and which gpx file I should choose? Is there a satnav “type” that scenic is closest to for the purpose of camera POI gpx import?@guidomm this topic has been visited lots of times. You could make money by charging credits for adding safety cameras by country!?!

You can download GPX as well. Importing fine to the ScenicApp.
