January Update

Just downloaded the Jan safety camera update and noticed the new folder, speed zoned, which contains folders mobile and gatso which contain additional .ov2 and .bmp files. Are these files relevant to Tom Tom Go?

You won't be able to use the .wav files, for the moment at least, in TTG.

Hi 15SC,

to the forum! Thumbs Up

The PocketGPSWorld camera database isn’t intended solely for the TomTom Go Wink

. The database was actually started when the version of TomTom Navigator 1 (for the Pocket PC) was released that was able to use custom POIs. When TomTom released the SDK, third parties were able to write add-ons for TTNav such as POI Detectors.

Nowadays, the PocketGPSWorld camera database can be installed on TomTom, CoPilot, Navman, and other products. Some products allow the use of the database without any change, whilst others require a little work. Richard (Oldie) has included files in the zipped version of the database that can be used by the more popular packages. Therefore not all of the files are needed by TomTom Go, TTNav, CoPilot, Navman, etc.

We have a dedicated forum for the PocketGPSWorld camera database, which can be found here.

In that forum you will see a thread on the current database here.

Regards,

Hi,
This thread may also help

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=16134&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

Personally I chose to use the new files as most in the Leeds area are updated into speed zone groups. Like I have mentioned before any that I find that are not in groups I simply email the limit in and it is updated the following month.

Not wanting to sound like a Victor but if everyone one this site took just 10 minutes to email in limits of local cams the database could be almost perfect overnight. Its a simple case of getting the cam number ( navigate to>point of interst>pocketgps uk gatso ???> then a list of nearby cams is displayed) then adding @40 or@50 etc then emailing it in .

If anyone needs any help doing this post here and I will gladly assist.

In the link I posted above I mentioned that for the uk pocketgps mobile groups to work properly on the tomtomgo you will need different bitmaps to the ones supplied. I have made said BMPs , so if anyone wants them let me know and I will email them.

As bestyman says, take a look at that other thread.

I've got the speed cameras working with the speed limit being flashed up…
