|

Hi,
My tomtom speed camera subscription ran out about 6 months ago but it appears that I can still download camera updates via Home and use them on the road.
Is this suppose to happen or am I missing something?

I've just connected via my mobile phone and downloaded a load of traffic updates as well. That subscription ran out 6 months ago as well!

Ah well, with the TomTom cameras it makes no difference, so many are out of date anyway! _________________ Darren Griffin |

Same with the traffic updates...
I subscribed this evening to Pocket GPS and downloaded the camera POIs. I wish there was an easier way to configure the POI alerts. My head hurts and I've only done 3 so far! A job for tomorrow...

Aye it is a pain but it is a once only process. You don't have to do it each update. _________________ Darren Griffin

I was going to say... "until the TT forgets them! (a "feature" of v7 software)".
But I have to admit, it hasn't happened to me for some time now. Do we think TT have fixed it? |

For what? The best IMHO is the Speed Zoned one. It takes more initial configuration and requires more space but offers the most information. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Sorry to disappoint you but it lost mine again on Friday (good to keep a spare mapsettings.cfg file on the card). _________________ Gerry
