    hi,

    can anyone tell me how this is, does this have the speed camera alert features, what about the battery life.

    im still double minded about this sat nav, im not even sure if lidl still have them

    thanks in advance
  • I have been running SilverCrest 4200 for one week, and it's works nice with speedcams and even to copy POI:s from my Tom Tom

    So I can really recommend it

  • You have to download the latest files for speedcams for your country or country you will visit (free to download on lots of sites). And it shows the speedcams only in right direction.

    There is a lots of POI:s incl. and it's very easy to make your own.

    Copy from Tom Tom = I just tell others that it's very easy to copy from diffrent navigators to navigator 4200, you just download it as .kml (Google Earth)

  • Swedish speedcams you can get here
    www.poidatabase.se
    www.takes.se
    www.speedcam.tk
    www.asebro.se/GPSFILER.htm

    The Eurpeean and German cams (and even some English) but it's not free (€10)
    http://www.radarfalle.de/ and http://scdb.info/

    I'm sorry but I don't now where to get the English speedcams for free

    Here you can read a lots of interesting things http://mio.digiwalker.googlepages.com/

    But you have to place the files in \Flash Disk\MyGuide\poi\speedcam\ on your 4200.

    And if you import POI:s place them at \Flash Disk\MyGuide\poi\
