update queries

I have just updated my camera files to my Garmin 310.

Query 1:
I previously had the following classifications in my POI:
PocketGPS-UK-Continental
PocketGPS-UK -Gatso
PocketGPS-UK -Mobile
PocketGPS-UK -Red light
PocketGPS-UK -Temp

I now have:
PocketGPS-UK - Cameras
PocketGPS-UK -Pmobile

Have the classifications been condensed into just the two headings or am I missing some updates?

The second query is:
Having updated, I no longer get a warning tone when nearing cameras. The setting for sounds is set to "on" on my Garmin so is there something else I need to do to activate the warning tones.

I would be grateful for advice.

Thank you.
AG

hi, it looks like you have downloaded the single file set. you would be better off with the 'consolidated by type' option.

also, make sure that you have proximity alerts turned on for custom poi's in the settings

Hi

Many thanks. I will try as you suggest although, the listing guided me to the "one off".

When sending the request for help, I sent it using the screen opened by clicking the help tab but did nmot realise that this was a private message. As a newcomer to the pocket gps world, I could find nothing to guide me differently or, how to open a fortum query or, which forum to put the query on.

May I ask that some guidance therefore be attached to the help box.

Many thanks and many thanks for your response.

Hi... I'm not a member of the admin team, but a pretty regular user here (although I've been away for a week so am on a massive catch-up exercise today!)

In order to investigate where you are suggesting improvements could be made, could you be a bit more specific about where you've been clicking? For example:

Hi and very many thanks for your posting.

As you can probaly tell, I am not too good at getting into new areas and this is one!

Where one is au fait with a site, the headings are meaningful. To a novice like me, I can only guess as to "what is where" and "what it all means" and therefore struggle to find where I should go to (please-no comment) or how I get there nor would I know where what classification of topics can be found or, how they are organised.

As a result of the above examples, I spent some hours before I did download because I did not want to ruin my Garmin set up. Might I suggest a brief guide when registering so that inexperienced forum users such as I, can go to the right area.

I cannot recall exactly where I went for help. I did think it was the help tab but, based on the initial reply to my posting, I have somehow sent a private message, another thing I would not know how to do, nor would I know how to start a topic.

In regard to downloading, I went to a page WWW. pocket..../modules.php?name=cameras and then to .....#compatibility. the chart shows download using garmin loader (nuvi) and the next page gave me three choices. I chose the "uk single file" which I now believe incorporates the "consolidated type". (I would be grateful if you counld confirm that).

Finally perhaps I might ask for just a little further advice and ask you to understand that this is the first time I have updated so, would not know whether the answer might be "a change in the software" or "I have a setting set incorrectly".

Before updating, I used to get individual warnings for speed limits and for cameras. Using the Garmin the oteher day after updating, when I approach a camera, a speed warning comes up and won't go away when I press the OK on the screen but, insists on repeating itself.

Is this to warn me of the camera and the speed zone I am in or, as a result of downloading the UK Single File instead of the consolidated type?

Again, very nmany thanks from a novice totally out of his depth.

Hi

Speed warning: I was below the speed limit (a good boy am I) when I was repeatedly warned.

OK button: There is a blue band which appears accross the screen on the right hand side of which there is a small circle with OK.

Hope that helps.

I will try and load the consolidated version as that might alleviate the problem.

Once again, thank you

Hi

Just a quick thank you, update and correction.

I have loaded the consolidated version. Works much better so, thank you.

Correction. The OK button I referred to: When speed warning comes up in red in bar at top of screen and that is pressed, the camera location etc is displayed and a box bordered blue confirming the speed limit appears. On the right of that box is the OK

Question: The speed limitstart locations have been moved. Is this something Pocketgpsworld would like reported as well as camera locations and, if so, to where are they reported.

Once again, very many thanks

Arnold

OK

Again very many thanks for all your help.

It has been very useful and at least I have an improved system as a result.
