Passed to the developers, I'll have to see what happens.

I see that the update page on ALK.EU.Com has a latest update on 11 June. Has anyone tried this update yet to see if it cures the US voice problem?

I've downloaded and installed that update this week from the EU site and it still has the US voice problem Sad

Has anyone installed CoPilot Live Pocket PC 5 v5.0.1.48 (UK Version) onto their Desktop PC from genuine ALK CD's and noticed that there are no POI's displayed on the desktop maps (I don't know whether the POI's are displayed on the PDA - I haven't looked there yet).

I have now installed CoPilot onto 2 very different PC's from the CD's and ALK have even sent me a second set of CD's - but still no POI's visible!

I, personally, think that this is a bug with the v5.0.1.48 CD's. I re-installed my original v5.0.1.13 CoPilot from CD's and the POI's are visible. I'm still awaiting a reply from ALK.

Anyone else had same problem? More importantly - anyone found a cure?

Thanks in advance,
Alan

It's an obvious thing to check, but I'll ask it anyway. Have you checked the Map Features dialog on the Map menu?

Have you tried importing the speed cameras database and seen whether that is visible?

Thanks Ian.

I used default settings for all installations - which means that all map features are enabled. However - for completeness - I have just unticked all features and then re-ticked them. No difference, though - still no POI's visible!

I have also, at your suggestion, imported the latest speed camera database from Pocket GPS website. VERY INTERESTING... the speed cameras show up as POI's.

Does this provide any further clues as to how the standard POI's can be made to appear?

Cheers,
Alan

Update: ALK UK have today confirmed to me that they now accept my problem as being a bug with the v5.0.1.48 release - and promise to fix the bug in the next minor release of CoPilot.

Cheers,
Alan

Hi Neil.

Yes, 5.0.1.22 is the latest version you can get from the ALK website.

However, if you contact Tech Support then they can supply a CD set consisting of 5.0.1.48 for both desktop and PDA. However, I wouldn't recommend the desktop version on the basis that it has no POI's!!!

For your information, the reason I contacted Tech Support in the first place was because the combination of 5.0.1.22 (desktop) and 5.0.1.48 (PDA) patches downloaded from ALK website gave me two problems: Roger had gone walkabout; roundabouts had been replaced by circles/ramps. ALK UK Tech Support elected to send me the 5.0.1.48 CD set in an attempt to resolve my two problems - which it did! - but only at the cost of losing the POI;s.

I have noted that within this forum there are documented cures for both my original problems - so I could go back to 5.0.1.22 on the desktop. However, I don't like an imbalance in versions between desktop and PDA. For example, in 5.0.1.48 the mapping has been updated, whereas it hasn't on 5.0.1.22.

Happy CoPiloting!
Alan

You say that the mapping has been updated - do you know what the differrences are?

Reading with interest your posts, I too had problems since loading patch 5.0.1.48 where I lost TTS, and gained circles and ramps. I contacted ALK support and spoke to the level 2 guy who sent me the updated CD's for 5.0.1.48. Now both PPC and desktop are same version and I can see all POI's on the desktop without any adjustments to the default settings....Lucky or what I'm not sure, I just did what it said on the tin...

However, using the PPC on approach to a Gatso, Roger still forgets his English lessons and blurts 'Meelez' instead of 'miles'......irritating yes !! can this be fixed or wait for another patch from Alk ?

Cheers
