Assistance required setting up checkpoint 2

David2912 · Occasional Visitor Joined: Jan 18, 2005 Posts: 3

I have a Dell axim x5 and tom tom 2.

This is probably a simple thing but I have downloaded checkpoint2 and the speedcamera data base. in the instructions it states to copy the following files...POCKETGPS_UK_SC.OV2 and POCKETGPS_UK_SC.BMP. However I can't see these files.

I have coppied all the other ov.2 files but when looking for the poi's check box for pois i have downloaded in tom tom only the default ones show, and not any other.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

David, can i join you in the queue? I have the same problem
I am a bit confused as to the correct order in which to download the files.
I have the print out for both Checkpoint and GPSassist, but they appear to be the same instructions.
Then i was direcyted to anoother site wfrom which i can download GPSAssist 2.1.1.14 Do i need this on the Dell?
and i cant see the files you refer to,
And i read on other people doing things to the POI on tomtom, how is this done.Apologies to those more adept at these things, but some really simple advice,eg 1)press this, 2) do that etc would really help an old duffer like me!
Thanks

Hi David2912 and silverfoxcc,

Keep to CheckPOInt 2.0.2 for the time being as it’s free. When you want to use the additional features that GPSAssist has then you can trial GPSAssist for a limited period (40 starts) before you have to register it for €27.00. I like and actually prefer GPSAssist to CheckPOInt, but I used CheckPOInt first in order to learn about POI Detectors.

With our Camera databases, firstly unzip the file and decide which databases (.OV2 files) you wish to have on your PPC. You must also select the .BMP file of the same name for each .OV2 file. The .BMP file is the icon file that shows the location on the screen.

Once you have copied the .OV2 and .BMP files to your PPC, you need to shutdown and restart TomTom Navigator. If this doesn’t work the try a soft reset.

You should now see the new POI icon in the “Show points of interest” screen in the Properties screen. If this is the case, you are ready to set up CheckPOInt for alerting you.

Regards,

Robert/David

Just copied all the files across and it looks like the poi are showing.

How do advise of any changes that we find?
I think there is a chap on a newsgroup uk driving that puts on details of new cameras
Thanks for the advice

Hi Ron,

Sounds like you’re winning. Have you got a CheckPOInt warning you of cameras?

If you contact Richard (Oldie), on this forum, with any updates then he will update the database. You can contact him via email:

Cameras [at] PocketGPSWorld [dot] com
