finding the correct version

mikepatw · Occasional Visitor Joined: Aug 08, 2006 Posts: 6

I have just purchased a Tomtom One with Ver 5.410 software. Have also subscribed to your site and downloaded what I believed was the correct version of the ;camera' database.
However everything is OK until I enable the POI when the screen 'blurs' and freezes.
Have I got the wrong version of the database ? If so, where can I get the correct one and what is it called?
Hopefully one of you chaps out there can help me with this problem.
Thanks in anticipation.
PS - Sorry I dont know the 'jargon'
Mike

How did you actually try to Enable what you downloaded?

Your symptoms seem a little strange. Have you by any chance downloaded POICapture?

Perhaps you can tell us what you actual downloaded (the File Name) and what you did with it.;)

Definately sounds like POI capture. When I installed the wrong version of it in my one, my screen did exactly the same.

The files I downloaded are first - POICapture.06G and then PIOCapture.03G.5.420.

The installation was carried out several times from the begining in each case with the same result.

I extracted the zip to the root of my TomTom and all the files were installed where I expected.

Also an extra POI callad 'Camera enable' was found on Tomtom (Yellow and Black speed camera icon in good visual condition)

I 'clicked' on this icon and the screen froze. showing several lines of very blurred images, mostly of speed signs, (30,40,50 etc) on their side.

I do hope you are able to say I have done something stupid, for which I apologise in advance

Regards Mike

I believe you should be using http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/POIRecorder/POICapture1.04G.5.420.zip

Also it is much better to Unzip to the Hard Drive and then copy to the ONE.

With the ONE, POICapture always displays the icons sideways.

You should have an Icon on one of your Main Menu Pages called Capture POI. This is the Icon for starting the POICapture Program.

I'm fairly sure the original post says that Mike is trying to install the camera DATABASE, not POI Capture. The replies are just confusing matters by talking about different versions and sideways screens.

Mike, what you need to do is remove the POI Capture stuff you have installed, I've never bothered with it so I'm afraid I can't tell you exactly what to delete, but I think it has been covered before, so you could try a search of this forum.

Then you need to download and install the camera database. Use the beginners guides and FAQs in the "Speed Cameras" box to the left of this page to get you started.
You will need to have paid a subscription to be able to access the download page

Sorry about the terminology, you are correct, I now have the POI Capture installed .

However not quite there yet.......
Selecting this Icon I have a subscreen comprising 9 icons

Truvelo, Unknown type, Preferences, Remoce, Gatso, Mobile, Temporary, Specs, and Redlight.

NO POI for cameras when I enter 'Enable/Disable POI'

On my second attempt I stopped at this point ..........................and await your help.
........................................................................

On an earlier attempt I chose Gatso and a speed limit this gave me an entry in the POI list (enabled) and allowed me to add a warning sound however I think I only had that one camera.

I am saying I have no cameras because there should be one right outside my house but I cannot see it on the map.

I have seen reference in the forum to a combined camera file .........is the lack of this my problem.
..........................................................................

What should I do from the point I have left my Tomtom at ? (see 4 lines above).

Sorry to be a pain, you can talk about me when I;m gone........
Regards Mike.

Gentlemen ...........
Thank you very much for your help.

Thats the good news, The bad news is that in the next few days I plan to change the warning sounds to voice messages.

Thanks again, great help. Laughing
