I use Igo8, currently I tried manually re-formating the speedcamera.csv file from this site to put it into my device. Am I doing this right or is there an easier method. evil

It sounds crazy but to get hold of the actual speed value, as it is combined with other data in the same field I copy/paste line by line.. it is driving me mad! confused

You could use GeePeeEx Editor to convert the .csv file to a .gpx thus allowing you to set the speed for each camera. The product is only $17.99 and can be found here.

EDIT: Here is more information using POI filenames.

Excel or a text editor

If you have excel or a text editor then load the file into one of those and just do a search/replace on the speed strings and "replace all" to change them.

What exactly are you trying to do with the speed values? If you're trying to set individual speed alerts for each POI, see:

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.
