Disable 920 Saftey Cameras in favour of PGPS

Tobas · Regular Visitor Joined: Oct 06, 2004 Posts: 90

I am quite capable of installing the pocketgpsworld safety cameras, setting up warnings, etc. However, in the folder already are some speed camera ov2 files. I assume these are the ones tomtom supply/maintain (if I paid their subscription). Can I just delete the existing files? Do I need to do anything on the 920 before I delete them?

Unfortunately running 7.48 with no backup but being honest, no obvious problems as reported elsewhere. I have the map up-to-date problem (710 loaded, 715 should be available and unit only 4 days old) but tomtom have got back to my online question in hours and are adding it to my account.

I think it might be better to take the TT Files out with HOME.

Use the Menu for Remove items from my Device.

Take a look at the TomTom FAQs topic HERE in this forum.

Number 13 is what you need, but if you haven't seen it, may I suggest you read them all, especially #1!

Yes you should have been offered v715 maps, but there are many people who've had the same problem as you where Home says you already have the latest ones.
Ring TomTom and ask them to put the new maps onto your account.

(By the way, better to have started a new topic rather than hijack this one as your question isn't about the safety cameras)

Thanks all, I did search the site for help on it but obviously used the wrong keywords. Sorted now.

I rang them today. Didn't seem to be a problem but they asked me to send a copy of the purchase invoice. Reasonable request but I couldn't fax to Holland ( yes Holland ) from work so they sent me a contact email to home. I have replied and sent a scanned copy via TT Home. I also documented 'an insistence' that they make v715 available for ALL 3 maps on my 920. Will let you know how I get on.

Surely it is only right that they make the latest version of ALL installed maps available as stipulated in the documentation that comes with the unit.

Just had an email saying that they are 'escalating it to the plus administration' and email further when they have an answer.

Exciting isn't it? (Not )

You're going to like this one. Hooked up the 920 to tomtom home and brilliant, western europe and USA updates available. So there's me thinking yup, that's it, they've sorted it all out. Oh no, the USA map is about 500MB, yes MB, larger than the one already installed and it simply don't fit. TTHome says I need to remove 117MB before it will fit on but only gives me a choice of about 50MB to remove. I had already deleted loads of voices I didn't want and the safety cameras so it had 435MB free before the update.

Anyway, I'm updating my european map because that will fit.

Any ideas how I'm supposed to update them both???

Get an SD card, SDHC types will work with no problems upto 4GB, above that capacity and you need to use a card reader of the correct type to install the data to the card, the TomTom can read these larger cards, it just makes a mess or writing to them.
It will use the card memory in addition to its own internal memory, so all you do is add the map to the SD card and the device will see it and therefore use it.
I use an 8GB Peak SDHC card in my 720 and it is fine if you stay within the above constraints, plus point is loads of capacity for music - Mike
