Default NAVMAN PiN 570, how to add speed camera data?

I did purchase a data base on ebay from a user group but as I havent had contact from them now for some months I think they have disbanded.
From what I can understand the data is done in MS Excel?
I have one speed camera location I would like to add but I have no idea how to use spreadsheets or Excel and dont want to lose whats there just for one.
I found this camera by it snapping me (dammit) so the next time I was in the area I stopped right at the damn thing and used both the Uniden and the Navman to show the latitude/longitude but how do I add it to the list?
Do I just add it on the end or does it have to go in sequence ?

"SAVE AS" all the attachments and the ( Redlight, Buscam and Speedcam data) on your desktop or in a new folder you makeup.eg (gps data folder) Make sure you right click on the attached data and "SAVE AS" to the desktop
or folder or you will corrupt the data ( eg do not open then save to folder )

Print This out and follow.
once for redlight cameras,Buscam and once for speed cameras form step 4

1) Load your SmartST V3 (or V3.5) software on your computer.
(this is the CD that came with the unit )

2) Connect you Navman ( Pin ) to the USB port with the cord that came with it.

3) Now turn on Navman

4) Open (I mean start ) the program Navman Smartst V3 or V3.5 now

5) goto ( Map ) on drop menu and left click

6) goto ( POIs ) may say on V3.5 (points of interest) on drop menu and left click

7) POI Editor should have started up

8) goto ( File ) on drop menu and left click

9) goto ( Open text file ) on drop menu and left click

10) Look in (Desktop ) or new folder you made up eg (GPS data folder )
then find ( Redlight.csv or Buscam.csv or Speedcam.csv data file ) attachment I just emailed to you and you saved there.

11) Double click ( Redlight.csv or Buscam.csv or Speedcam.csv )

12) goto ( FILE ) on drop menu and left click

13) goto ( SAVE TO DEVICE ) on drop menu and left click ,
NOTE: If this is an updated file it will ask to overwrite Redlight,Buscam or Speedcam hit OK.

14) tick Active, and Visual Alert and Audio Alert, Metric Distance
select 200M for red lights,Buscam and 500m for speed cameras ( I find this best), slide POI
visbility to MAX, ( left click little gray square) this is Icon file select, now look in
desktop or (new GPS data folder) for attachment called
(Redlight or Buscam or or Speedcam icon ) . Hit OK

15) POI file name (Redlight or Buscam or Speedcam ) Hit OK

16) POI editor Hit OK

17) POI editor Loaded to your device Hit OK

18) All done now just X out of that POI editor and then X out of SmartST Desktop.

19) Remove USB cable from Navman pin, Navman pin will restart all ready to go.

20) Run SmartST, push the joystick to the left (Main Menu), tap the right arrow ( -> )
with your stylus to get page 2 of Main Menu, tap Setup to enter SmartST setup, tap the small right arrow at the bottom of the screen until you can see the "Active POIs" tab,
tap the "Active POIs" tab. You should now see the Active POIs screen, and under the POI
heading you should see " Redlight or Buscam or Speedcam". NOTE If you have other POIs
stored you may need to tap
the little "down" arrow to bring up the complete list of all POIs and then select "FIXEDCAM".
If you do not see this you will need to press reset on the side of the pin for the data
to load on to the navman pin.


By default the "Active" box should be ticked, and under the heading of "Active POI Options"
the Visual Warning and Sound Warning should also be ticked, if not, tap on the boxs with
your stylus to tick them. Distance should be set to 500m.

If you wish to see the speed camera icon on the map as your driving you will need
to perform one additional step. In the SmartST setup tap the "POI" tab, under
the heading of "POI Display" you will see "Show Icons on Map", tap the box with
your stylus to tick it. While here it might also be an idea to uncheck all the
other items (ie Shopping, Entertainment, etc) otherwise they will also show up on
your display making it a little difficult to determine exactly where the camera is
as it could be surrounded or covered by icons for the other categories. Your done!

Thats it.
