For the application yes as it uses pocketgpsworld data. There are sites to get free databases though, no idea how they compare..Do you need to have a paid subcription to download the camera database ?
I need to find a free speed camera database I can use with this. I had a good look and found one, csv in zip format, but when i tried to use it with the app, the app just closed.

Only £20? I got mouths to feed.
Don’t think Audi have a limit that I know of, I’ve got all types of cameras loaded never had any issues@mcaddy - thanks for doing this. Will be giving it a go over the weekend. Looking at the instructions on your site, it covers verified mobiles but not unverified cameras - could the latter be added too? I know that Audi system limits the number of special destination categories.

I have subscribed to PWGPS, but don't really need it for my jurisdiction as our red light and speed cam locations are freely published by the provincial government on Google Maps so I have it in gpx/kml/kmz formats anyway. My question is more around challenges with the tools. McAddy defaults to downloading the EU version of the PWGPS database. My preference would be to use a North American wide version (I'm in Canada but frequently drive to the US) but cannot find a way of getting that database into my MMI unit.
Any thoughts? Also, anyone figured out how to get audible warnings on the MMI units that don't have Audi Connect (like on my 2018 RS3) and therefore do not support "special destinations"?
Your the first to request anything other than UK cameras, until this becomes a regular request, I'll not implement anything specific. For now if you use the app but fail to login (supply a invalid password or username). You should then be prompted to do a manual download and import, if you go to PocketGPSWorld fetch the download you'd prefer, choose 'Other - CSV' as the satnav system and the relevant region. Once downloaded this file can be used with my app to create the database for MMI import.
having speed camera location is illegal??? WHAAA?? Have you ever used waze app on phone???I must admit I'm a bit of a bore. One problem with having speed camera location is it's illegal in France where we probably do 2,00 miles a year. Chances of getting pulled are slim biut the fine could be heavy, so beware if your going this route.
I normally use the cars satnav, but when towing have a Garmin/Avtex unit that automatically switches off camera location when in france.

they will never know they are daft they think smartphone is just for callingYou are not allowed any speed camera detection or location information, warning device etc in France.
The facts are it is illegal. If you want to risk it then it's down to you.

Should be an option in your MMI to delete myAudi special destinationsDoes anybody know how I can remove these? Trying to turn my car back to standard before I return it. Thanks
Hi!(For the technical people, edit the file categories.pc so that the zoom level is set to max=30.)
Hi, I've designed an app which does POI conversion, it's getting a bit patchy now which cars are supported so your millage might vary, you don't need to use it if you have a better tool but it's helped many on this forum.Hi!
<zoomlevel max="0" min="0"/>
What zoom should I change? What are the maximum and minimum levels' from 0 to?
Another question, is it possible to change the distance for the alert? The alert comes up when I am too close to the camera.
Thanks!!!!
