Samir, Quite a raft of questions but lets try and work through them one at a time:

Hi Mike / Darren,

Thanks for your comments on the previous posts.

Forgot to wish you and all on the forum a belated Merry Christmas.

I've checked the download i had done and to be safe re-did it. Then switched off phone and turned back on again (no idea how to close tomtom and then start it up again, when phone is actually on).

When i started phone and went into the tomtom app, it still didn't ask me to update my home location.

However, planned a route from my house in Watford to Heathrow Airport (via M1 and M25). However, no speed cameras came up at all along the route - except one which was a traffic camera (beeping sound only with no detail of the type of camera).

Planned another route from my house to Brent Cross shopping centre. Heard the normal TomTom camera alerts that i usually do on this route but no picture of the camera on the actual route....just a symbol on the top left.

I am no doubt doing something wrong but promise i am following the instructions to the letter.

Sorry about this....but please help

Samir

P.S. In DiskAid i can see the files copied across (in the UK-Ireland App folder i see various "*.png files" but no "*.ogg files". Also in the documents folder i can see the 'mapsettings.cfg' file

Have you added a set of speed zoned ov2 files from the main camera download page as these files are required but not included with the download on page one of this thread - Mike

Did you find the "mapsettings.cfg" file in the first post and replace the one already on your phone?

Use DiskAid to copy the ov2 files to the same location on your iPhone that you copied the ogg and png files to - Mike

Look in the zipped file that you downloaded from page one of this thread the file you seek will be found if you look closer at the contents Wink

Where did you put the mapsettings.cfg file assuming its in the correct place try switching the iPhone off then back on again to ensure the TomTom app wasn't still running in the back ground - Mike

I followed all the instructions as per first mail, but still get Polite 3 sound, what should I set the sounds to Sad

If you loaded all the ogg files that were in the download then you should get a full spoken alert when approaching a camera, note you do need to have a route set for the warning to sound, in the first post in this thread is a link to a You Tube video I shot, watch and listen to that to get an idea as to what it should be doing - Mike

Still no go with the sound, i am going to delete TT from my Iphone and start again - meanwhile do you have any guides on how to add POI's pleae Smile

Mike what TT app version are you running the file supplied is for the newer V1,6 and it doesn't work with V1,5 one assumes you will have updated to the newer release?

As for custom POI installation its the same method as covered in the first post, although having just written such a guide for custom POI files without settings warnings etc I can add it to this site as well.

Basics are for iPhone3g/ 3GS the standard icon size is 22x22 but rename the icon from .bmp to .png

For iPhone4 you can use icons of 22x22 but you are better off with them resized to 44x44, again they need to be renamed from .bmp to .png - With iPhone4 if you want the custom POI icons the same size on the map as the icons supplied with the app then use an icon size of 32x32 - Mike
