Hi is it possible for alerts when only on side /direction vehicle is driving?

I am of the understanding that it does what you want, is there not a setting for it?

If you mean the Android or iOS app then it supports directional alerts. Make sure you have not accidentally turned the feature off:

Android:
- Menu - Settings - Advanced settings - Ignore direction data [make sure it is NOT ticked]

iOS:
- Settings - Sound warnings - Ignore direction data [make sure this is OFF]

In which case that is a limitation of TomTom's POI support.

The only way you can have directional data is if you enable the 'warn when on route' option when you set-up POI alerts. The downside being that alerts will then only take place when you have a route planned.

What do you want me to say? It's a TomTom limitation, we can't do much about it.

Yes, Snooper may have directional alerts but their data sucks. So do you want good data or alerts for cameras that may not affect you?

You could also consider using our CamerAlert app for iPhone or Android (if you have one).

That way you get the benefit of both accurate data from PGPSW and the directional alerts.

Or a device running any version of a NAVnGO (iGO) product. iGI8, iGO Primo etc. These give directional warnings. But if you are stuck with a TT, you don't get fully directional warnings.
My bad on my first reply, I assumed (I dion't know why) you were using the PGPSW CamerAlert prog on a smartphone Embarassed
