Prior to purchasing the files from this site, I had installed other free POI speed camera files in my Zumo 550.
I found out on the weekend that the file I purchased does not have the speed limit in it for the speed cameras, but the free file does.
I know this because I went through a speed camera and the Zumo 550 gave me 2 warnings 1st said "speed alert 80km" some time before the camera site and then just before the camera a second alert came up saying "speed camera location" (although with completely wrong location info - said it was at an intersection in Coffs Harbour and I was actually at Tweed Heads). On scrolling the map I found two speed cameras in the Zumo at the one location, obviously they are the same but with slightly different positions, and therefore from different files. I also know that the free one had the speed data, because I have been through this camera before and been given the speed alert.
The non inclusion of speed data in a purchased product is a disappointing oversight, given that the Zumo uses the speed data to give an appropriate warning - it tests to see if you are over speed and if not only warns of location, otherwise it gives an appropriate speed warning as I received.
