Tomtom go 300 speed camera database help plz

worthingsaxovtr

after foolishly downloading the one form tontom which I paid 50.00, I see there is a free one on here,

I have been trying to workout how the tomtom one is updated do you have to download a new file every month or is it done automatically,

is it possible to remove the tomtom one and replace it with the one ofrm this site as it seems a lot better

alos the tomtom site is so user unfriendly

hi robert,

thanks for the helpful reply,

unfortunately I did not find the site before I downloaded the tomtom speed camera database, but will try for a refund,

and once again thanks for the help.

worthingsaxovtr,

can you tell us what the TomTom version of the file(s) is called? I want to try an experiment on my Go, by renaming one from here to be the same...

I'm wondering if the reduction in POI's allowed is because some are reserved for the TomTom camera DB files...

errm,

I have no idea.. did you download a file from tomtom? Check in your map folder and in the top level (root) of the SD card.

How do you turn on the speed camera warnings from TomTom? If you have to go into the "Manage POI" screen then the file will have the name of the category you needed to enable... (in your main map folder)

for example.. if you had to activate: tomtomcameras then the file would be called something like tomtomcameras.ov2

i have emailed tomtom about their speed camera databse, see what their response is

if it is not good, i might just delet the files for the safety cameras, after disabling them, and download the free one from here,

i take it thats the right procedure to remove stuff

i now i have subscribed to it but i would rather have a licencse and loss the subscritpion money

just like to add, i deleted the tomtom database

and downloaded the one from here

100% IMPROVEMENT

THANKYOU

I have now found cameras, and mobile spots I never knew existed and were never found on the tomtom software

Doesn't say much for TomTom's database then, particularly as they claim

"Most up-to-date and complete set around"

and

"All sites checked and verified by TomTom field surveyors"

I wonder if their "field surveyors" work in customer service... Twisted Evil

1. "industry's most up-to date street level map data?"

is there a limit to the amount of POI's on the 700?

I have downloaded the speed zoned cameras and the regular ones, but things like the redlight cameras etc are not in my poi list to enable/disable?

any ideas!

thanks
