Speed Camera POI Install.

Hi Folks,

Can someone please clarify the final step of installing the speed camera database for Copilot 5 please?

That's it, well not quite! You now need to copy this install to the Pocket PC. Open Active Sync and click the EXPLORE button. Browse your Pocket PC Storage Card and in the root directory should a COPILOT LIVE directory and also a 2577 directory (if on your original install you selected the QUICKSTART option). Delete both of these directories! Now copy both directories from your C:\ to your Pocket PC Storage Card. Once complete, wait a couple of minutes for the copy to finish, and then you can safely undock your Pocket PC.

I have located directory 2577 and done as above but it makes no sense to me, to delete the copilot directory as this contains all the map data etc. If I do delete it, I can't see which part of my PC's installtion I should be copying across.

I have had limited success with POI alerts, though all the GPS/POI data is prescent on the Mio168. Just wondered if my problems were related to not completing this final step.

By the way, has anyone had any success in getting the POI alerts to work all of the time?

Thanks guys Exclamation

It's a couple of months ago that I did this but I know that I didn't have to manually delete anything. When I got to the part of transfering the map data to my pocket pc, I'm sure there was an option to have it delete the old map data for you as there would not be enough room for both on my storage card. And you shouldn't need to recreate the 'Quick Start' as the orginal setup will use your new map data.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback Bigwig.

I am now sure I'm downloading correctly and that this is not the issue. This has also been demonstrated by the fact that if Co-Pilot has to recalculate the route whilst en-route, all the enabled POIs start to work perfectly - well almost.

I've also tried using the external gps receiver just in case my signalwas borderline at times casuing Co-Pilot acquisition problems. Unfortunately it made no difference.

Still working on ALK! Exclamation

why do these have to be installed as a custom poi; CoPilot allows for them to be installed as Safety cameras?

Like Nikpro, I would also like to know whu they can not be installed in the Safety Camera file. And would you then get the 'camera' icon on the screen instead of the pushpin

Having just got CP5 (yesterday), I am still a complete novice. I would also like to know if it's possible to install the camera icons (that come with the download) on CP5.

Thanks for your help
