Hi Ash10.
Well that's not too major.
At least they are appearing at about 2mph (when stuck in traffic) instead of within 5mph of the speed limit of the camera. A lot better. :D
I can live with that.
Once again, many thanks.

.. as for new fetures Ash
I'd still rather like to be able to tweak the speed settings by a few mph as I mentioned a while back. |

Just like to thank Ash for a great utility. I found it simple to use and it works a treat on my I3. :D |

Hi,
I have loaded the POILoader version of the speed cameras database through Ash's utility but I'm wondering why I get the initial approach bong-bong three times before i reach the camera. Anyone else had this?
Firmware 2.7, Audio 2.0, older i3 with card.
Cheers,
Grant |

Well doing the always visible and speed / distance thing, involves doubling up on them as POIs.
From what I remember reading about Ash's utility, and something he had planned, isn't it possible that it may triple on some of the camera types? |

Ash,
Many thanks for a fantastic app, I tried it this morning for the first time and it worked perfectly, after I'd sorted out my own muppetry of course :D
I was thinking about the POI loader overwriting POI's each time you load them and wondered about this:
Save MaFt's POI's eg McDs, Tesco, Argos etc to the i3 but save the camera data base to the SD card. Would this means I should be able to load camera updates to the SD card without having to worry about wiping out any POI's I have on the i3 ? _________________ Ignorance is no excuse ! |

Well I don't know about you, but I tend to update both kinds of POIs fairly frequently - so ring fencing one group of POIs isn't that important to me.
I just keep one folder of POIs (including everything I want) on my PC (and memory stick) update those files, and then run POIloader whenver I have something to update. |

ash, i used your application and noticed that it changes the default PGPSW icon for one with a very thin coloured border.
any chance of adding an option to select your own bmp's? just i found it quite hard glancing at the screen to see quickly what type of camera it was... i prefer the very different movbile icons that pgpsw provide

The easy way to do that is to replace the associated BMP files with the BMP files that come with the PGPSW download. I unzipped the PGPSW database in to a spare folder then copy/pasted the BMP files in to my POI folder, overwriting the BMP files that Ash's utility had created. |

P.S. Actually, I think the BMP files need to be re-named to exactly match the BMPs that Ash's uitility creates, before copying/pasting, otherwise they are just ignored. The name needs to match the database file that they are associated with to work. |

i'd already done that sorarse but thanks anyway. they don't need renaming though.
all i was after was an option in the utility to select my own bmp's or to use the ones from the zip file as they are. the whole point of ash10's utility, as he says, is "that you don't have to do anything with the zip file, just drag it to the program and all is sweet". however, if i then have to open up the zip to get the icons then i may as well use cbroms.

Once you've got your preferred bitmaps/icons in POI Loader's working directory, right-click then Properties and set them to Read Only ;) |

Elp!
I'm a newbie and i've read all I can but I still cann'ae get it to work.
I've installed the POI's as per the PocketGPSWorld thing. In particular I downloaded the file: pgpsw-speed-cams.zip whicyh contains the one gpx file.
I then downloaded ASH's program.
I dragged an dropped the zip file in and all i get is errors. failure to unzip and open the .csv files.
I thought this thing wanted teh gpx files and not the csvs?
A little help file (or word document) of what this program does would be really great. |
