|
|
Is it possible to set up camera databases in two different map folders, and use different parameters for each. I have in mind using an up to date map with the cameras set to warn on route, for when I have routes set up, but using an old map with them set to warn at all times, for when I'm just driving around without a route set. That way, all I have to do is switch maps, instead of changing the "warn on route" for 25 different camera types. If I'm not using the old mapping for navigation, it doesn't matter if it's out of date - the POIs should still appear where they're supposed to. |

i think the 'warn on route' is a standard setting what ever map you use.... _________________ *************************** |

Well I think it wouldn't be...
I've left my Go at home so can't try it for an hour or two. Can anyone else confirm either way? |

I think it is with the Tom Tom cameras, but with the PGPS database, when you activate each category, as well as options for sound and distance, you get a "warn on route" option. |

Better late than never..
I just tried it and can confirm you are able to have "Warn only on route" set ON in one map and OFF in another. |

So if you just drive around without warn on route set, and no route active, do you get speed camera warnings? |

like andy said you might be doing 70 mph on a motorway and then the tomtom will warn you of a speed limit of 30 mph on a road running parallel to the motorway.. _________________ *************************** |

The real solution is for the warn on route setting to be ignored if there is no route, but I guess there is no way to make it do this. |

True, but at least you don't have to activate all 25 categories if you want to use navigation without the false alarms. This would give a couple of clicks between the options of having only specific warnings when a route is being followed, but still have access to the camera warnings when you didn't need navigation. And if you haven't got a route set, you generally are happy to get warnings of local cameras anyway. It's no different from the early Road Angel that I had for a couple of years, which only gave proximity warnings to cameras, with no route filtering available. |
