Hi, if I'm being thick then say so....but....I have just got myself a new toy! Bought an ipaq 1940 & a Tomtom 3 blue tooth set up. Which is great, slowly getting the hang of it.
A mate said I can get speed camera info from your site, but I can only find downloads for Tomtom 2. Will this work with my set up? If someone could let me know the exact one to down load, I'll try and pick my way through it.
Many thanks.....Skelly Rolling Eyes

Hello and

I'd start by getting CheckPOInt 2.0.2 from here. Unzip and run the file you get, which installs via ActiveSync. It doesn't matter that your machine uses Windows Mobile for Pocket PC 2003, rather than Pocket PC 2002.

To get the camera files, follow the instructions here - if you set up POIedit and synchronise with us, it makes keeping your camera files up to date easy. Make sure ActiveSync is running and your device is connected when you try to set things up.

Once you've done both those, run CheckPOInt on your iPAQ, and tap on the little blue icon at the bottom of the screen. You can then go through the various settings to turn on warnings for the camera files, and tell CheckPOInt to start Navigator and stop with Navigator.

My apologies that the instructions are a bit terse - but hopefully they're enough to get you going. (The smaller text are links you can click on).

ummm!! I seem to have a slight problem with the download of the items I want on my map.

I have got software into ipaq, and have got the edit software onto the pc...so far so good.

When I try to sync my selection, I get a message of "could not create remote file storage card/.....file name_uk_mobile.ov2"

I have tried uninstall & reinstalling 2.02 version and latest 3.2 version incase that wouls sort it.....no change.

Suggestions gratefully received.....you still have the option to say I'm being thick by the way!!

Go back to CheckPOInt 2.0.2 - it's not CheckPOInt causing the problem.

The problem is probably POIedit - it's a bit funny about losing synchronisation with ActiveSync. Make sure it's quit (including from the system tray down by the clock at the bottom right of the screen - if not right click and choose Exit). Make sure ActiveSync is synchronised with your Pocket PC and that everything is connected, then run POIedit and try to synchronise.

Does that work? If not, soft reset the Pocket PC, reboot the PC and try again - do not run POIedit until ActiveSync is connected to the Pocket PC and synchronisation activities have finished.
