Hi i am running an ipaq 3660 with TT3, i am still in the process of getting used to the s/w. I have downloaded the files to my ipaq and the speed camera signals appear, is there a way to get a voice warning when approaching the cameras (noy all poi as i have other items also selected)

Thanks

DavidW, thanks for the tip. Checkpoint works so much better now!

Hi all;

The new database was fine for me. I downloaded, unpacked, and copied the OV2 files onto my PDA and it all worked fine - 1st time!!

However, as a new user I do have a couple of questions (and I apologise now if this is the wrong forum to ask these):

1. I was driving the M5/M6 over the weekend, and at the junction (M6 J8) TT3 reported that there were SPECS cameras around the junction - 3 of them. I could see nothing. Are there actually SPECS cameras there or was I getting a false alert due to my settings being a bit off?? THis leads to my 2nd question ...

2. What "angle" do folks usually use in the settings?? I seem to be getting a lot of false alerts relating to cameras that are on joining roads or roads that run parallel to the one that I am on. I have used the default setting that come with CheckPOInt 3.2

Thanks all
Steve

FTOman;

Yes you can attach warning sounds for speed cameras via the settings in CheckPOInt. If you fire it up, and then take "Overlay Settings", select the Overlay file, say "pocketgps_uk_gatso" (under Not Synchronized on my PDA), and then tap the Properties button - you can set associated sounds on the "First Warning" and "Last Warning" tab. You need to put the sound files you want onto your PDA in the same directory as CheckPOInt.exe ......

One thing I have noticed though is that the warnings from CheckPOInt seem to be a lot quieter than the spoken instructions from TT£, so when recording your WAV files - be as loud as uo can!!

I realise you are discussing CheckPOInt but it might be of interest that GPS Assist allows you to set different angles to the left and right for camera detection.

Thanks for all the hard work, Richard!

Hi all

Am i correct in thinking that the "mobile" folder contains sites that are frequented by police vans with lasers and the like?

regards

That's the idea of it - the mobile POIs are those sites where people have found portable speed traps in use.

& I assume that the Temp POIs are temporary gatso sites?

Who should I email with any corrections and/or new camera sites, as I'd like to put something back into what is proving to be a very usefull resource?

Regards,

Ian

Email Richard (Oldie) at cameras@pocketgpsworld.com with any corrections, clarifications, new cameras and speed limits for cameras that lack them.

Dear All,

Trying to install the camera database with these instructions, I can get to the bit marked ***:

'Extract the ZIP file contents to a directory on your PC

Dock the Pocket PC in the Cradle and check ActiveSync has an active connection

In ActiveSync click EXPLORE, MY POCKET PC, STORAGE CARD, GREAT_BRITAIN NAVIGATOR MAP' ***

but I don't know how to do the following...

'Copy the POCKETGPS_UK_SC.OV2 and POCKETGPS_UK_SC.BMP to the \STORAGECARD\GREAT)BRITAIN NAVIGATOR MAP directory and overwrite any files you may have. '

Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks,

Hi all;

Just a quickie. Does anyone have the "old" SPECS bmp because I unpacked the OV2 and BMP files from the latest release and in the ZIP file there is no longer a pocketgps_uk_gatso.bmp file and the pocketgps_uk_specs.bmp seems to now have the same picture as the old GATSO bmp. As such, both GATSO and SPECS now have the same icon.

Was this intentional??

Even if it was, can someone please let me have a copy of the old SPECS bmp??

Ta muchly
Steve

Hi all.

Just wondering how accurate the locations of the cameras are. I have the IPAQ 4150 with TT3.

According to the position on my map there are many cameras in wrong location. i.e In Hull some of our cameras are in the middle of the road, however the camera on the map shows the camera to be well off the road in fact located in a car park.

Just a query?

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
