Tom Tom 3 vs Tom Tom Go re traffic cameras

HAMISHFORSYTH

my boss has the Tom Tom Go box that sists on his dashboard and when he appproaches a speed camera he receives an audible warning that there is a camera ahead.

I have bought an HP Ipac and Tom Tom 3 software and I do not get the audible warning when approaching a camera. Is there a way I can make the POI's audible? Confused

Yes, but you need add-on software like CheckPOInt or similiar. There's no built-in proximity warner in TTN3

Install software such as CheckPOInt or GPSAssist.

If you're considering CheckPOInt, I recommend version 2.0.2 for use with the Pocket GPS World database - it's free in our download area. Alternatively, you can get version 3 (which I believe to be less suitable for use with the Pocket GPS World database) free of charge from the CheckPOInt site.

My favourite add-on program is GPSAssist, which is not free but is not much money either. Amongst other things, this allows you to download updated POI files from Pocket GPS World using a program on your Pocket PC.

Dont forget POIWarner!

I use this and have been very happy with it.

Out of curiosity what are peoples opinions on which is the better speed camera utility?

CheckPOInt 3 can't record POIs in a form that suitable to submit to the Pocket GPS World database. If you don't set up synchronisation with POIplace, it will put recorded POIs in a .ov2 file - but without the textual comments that version 2.0.2 puts there that record the camera type and speed.

If you set up synchronisation with POIplace, you can't record POIs in a .ov2 file at all - and I've not yet found a way to remove synchronisation other than by hard resetting the Pocket PC. I can't figure out where the details for synchronisation are stored - it's not in the registry.
