Can You add POI's and Camera Alerts to TomTom iPhone App

I have both CamerAlert and the Tom Tom iPhone App. Can anybody help with how I add POI's and Camera Alerts / Locations from Pocket GPS World to my iPhone software.

Thank You
Ian

Unless you fancy JailBreaking your iPhone you can't put custom POI files on to it, if you do this and get the POI files installed there is no way to set a warning up so they are not well supported by the TomTom app - I find the Nav to / Google search is very handy for finding destinations.

As for CamerAlert simply update the database from within the app to download and install a new set of camera POI files - Mike

Download a prog. called iphonebrowser and you can add poi and speed cams yourself to var/mobile/applications look in each folder to find UK-IRELAND APP then open united kingdon/rep.of ire. folder then drag on drop pois and cams into iphonebrowser all done.
Please this only works if iphone is jailbroken

Apparently you can do this on an iPhone which hasn't been jailbroken - I don't have TomTom as yet, so cant validate it myself...

Gav, I haven't tried that method in quite a while but unless something has changed it doesn't work, sure you can put voices and POI files in to the .ipa file on the PC but when you next sync the iPhone it knows something isn't correct (file size) so it downloads a new untouched copy - Mike

No solution on adding PoI.

But I have been running Tomtom Western Europe and CamerAlert at the same time with success.

I'm doing this on my iPhone 3GS with the system upgraded to iOS4 which allows multi-tasking. TT is updated to allow multi-tasking so open that and set it going, then open CamerAlert (which is not modified yet for multi-tasking) and run it in front of TT.

You see CamerAlert and the camera map, but you only get the TT voice commands, and the TT camera alerts. You'll have to wait for CamerAlert to go multitasking before you can run TT in the foreground.

But it doesn't enable any alert functionality so apart from managing POIs it won't help.
