Cameras Not Showing Up In TomTom One V2

UPDATE

I removed a lot of POI's and now have my cameras back, I think the software update took more space.

Hopefully I may find help.

I have been using Pocket GPS cameras for over 3 years, so I am confident in updating my TomTom.

What has happened is I have a TOMTOM ONE V2 EUROPE.

I had the camera database on my TT and was working fine, did a TT update and updated the new Version TT 7.120

I then lost my voice warning for cameras, ok I thought I will try the data.chk file, didn't work.

I thought ok I will restore my original backup with the cameras and voice warnings. This did not work.

I have now a up to date TT ONE V2 Europe but the cameras do no show in the POI option on the device, even though I can see them on on my laptop in the europe map folder.

PLEASE HELP

Also this new TOMTOM HOME 2 is a pain as well and is not making it any easier.

Is the current camera database compatible with the latest TT Europe V2 - 7.120

P.s - just took the £19 subscription out... gutter ...

from what i can make from this, if i am correct is
1 you have updated to 7.12
2 you have the camera database
3 no sounds or cameras

try going through the camera poi's and select each one, ie preferences, warn when near poi, set distance and sound

the reason they need re-activating is when you upgraded to 7.12 the sd card is flashed automatically and therefore no record of any warnings, it does this to clear it for the navcore install

There is no data.chk file for version 7 software (unless someone has been messing around to create it) - the data.chk method was dropped a while back in favour of using ogg audio files, you will find a comprehensive guide to this, including links to the ogg file download page Here - I appreciate the guide only states vs5 and 6 software, so it does need an update, this facelift is on my list of things to do Wink

are you meaning the gatso 30 etc voices

ogg audio warnings correspond to each of the POI categories and do indeed produce sounds like "Warning Gatso ahead, speed limit is 30 miles per hour" - if this is what you want on your device forget all about data.chk as it simply will not work and follow the link I provided in my previous post, if you get stuck with the ogg file method let us know where it has gone wrong, but I can assure you this works with the version 7 software - Mike
