PGPSW Speed Camera Database on TomTom iPhone App

Hi all,
I have followed this subject - great work and thanks to those would did all the work.
I am having some odd problems and hoped someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.
I have uploaded the files in accordance with page 1 and feel confident I have them in the correct place.
I am using iPhone 4S, Diskaid and the latest TomTom app.
My problems are:
1 I get some voice alerts not all. I have checked the ogg files are correct.
2 I get Beep Beep (presumably from TT speed cams) the file names seems different from description here. e.g.. Safety_cam_UK_TomTom.ov2 don't exist on iPhone.
3 On map all speed cams show as red squares EXCEPT Red lights which are correct and voice works.

Any idea what I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance

Glyn

Hello All, Tried going through the threads but couldn't see. So thought to ask the question as I have got this to work but wondered is it possible to add custom voices for Navigation as you could do with WinMo 6? If yes can you let me know how to do this? Thanks. Very Happy

Unfortunately with iOS 8.3, Apple have made it impossible to access the data and the directory to use this method. The only alternative now is a jail-broken iPhone or iPad. This is what the iMazing team had to say about it:

"With the release of iOS 8.3 last week Apple has again showed it likes to keep the iPhone in a walled garden. The update renders access to Apps Document folder only possible if the App is enabled for File Sharing.

In other and simple terms this means that iMazing (or similar software) cannot read or write data to the apps unless their developers have specified that they wanted their app to be able to perform such a thing. This also means that the backup/restore of apps is now possible only for the app itself (and not for its data unless – again – File Sharing is enabled).

That said, it is after all maybe understandable that this is the way things should be, Apple is enforcing what developers want. And this should bring awareness to every app developer of the importance of File Sharing, because there are so many users of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that use those devices to carry data, and they need to transfer this data.

On a side note, without encouraging anyone to do so, the next available Jailbreak will almost certainly restore access to all apps. Just saying."

A pity as this was a very workable and nicely integrated solution for TomTom - and showed the camera location on the TomTom map, something the "legitimate" CameraAlert doesn't do....

I'm running a Beta 8.4 IOS on my iPhone and the locked down issue is still present. So it looks like this state is here to stay.

The version of the camera database currently on my iPhone is now a few months old and I can neither update it or remove it. Going down the M5 on Saturday I was getting alerts for SPECS devices that were no longer there.

I have no desire to jailbreak to phone...

Unfortunately this is a deliberate action by Apple to make iOS more secure. So it's not going to go away - it will be every iOS from 8.3 onwards. My understanding is that TomTom need to permit access by 3rd party apps to their data folders for this to work. The existing "official" workaround of the CamerAlert app does still work but it only indicated that you are entering a controlled zone - you don't see on the TomTom map where the actual camera sits as you did with this method.

Like you, I do not wish to jailbreak my open to simply get the display back on the map. A pity as this was easy and worked well. If anyone from TomTom is listening, please consider opening this feature up for 3rd parties to use.

Is it possible to add custom sounds/voices?

Thanks Robert for the update.
I was actually thinking about voices to replace the current ones that you get as stock with the TT on the iPhone.
Reading your message it seems this is not possible
