Deleted TomTom UK Speed cameras from Home.

Wendolene

I am new to the TomTom GoLive 750 and have been "messing" with TomTom Home. I am having dificulty getting my PGPSW Speed Camera Database to work, the TomTom Speed Camera warning do work but are next to useless.

Silly me deleted the TomTom Speed Camera Update for the UK camera database from TomTom Home. This leaves every other database there except UK.

How do I restore it to TomTom Home. The UK database is still on my actual TomTom device, but i assume i cannot now update the UK database.

"Silly me" is hardly an appropriate description of someone who has deleted the TomTom cameras - most sensible people on this website do that deliberately.

I haven't got a 750, but I'd imagine all you have to do to get them back is click on Update my Device in Home. That's if you really want a useless database and feel a desperate urge to use TT Home with confidence!! Rolling Eyes

Thank you for your offer of help.

I have deleted the TomTom Speed Camera Update from Home only. The camera database for other countries are still there, its the UK one I have deleted. The actual files still exist on my TomTom device. My concern is because of the deletion, the TomTom camera database will not update.

Normally this would not be a problem as, you quite rightly say they are "cr@p" and I agree with you. However, until I can get the PGPSW camera alerts working, its all I have to rely on so I would like them to be up-to-date.

To recap:
With a planned destination. PGPSW alerts (POI) enabled - they show in the POI database all with a little speakers next to each camera entry, "Warn when cam is on route" is UNCHECKED.

When driving I get a warning ONLY from the built in TomTom cam alerts and NOT PGPSW alerts.

I must have installed them wrongly but how I don't know, as I am used to installing them on my original Go Classic.

I unzipped the Speed Zoned Complete files directly into my Europe_2GB folder on my device. They do appear in my POI list and I have enabled sounds and set the distance to alert.

I am a little stuck here.

Do you have more than one copy of the map (e.g. in the device's memory and on a card) and you're using a different one for navigation from the one you copied the cameras to?

I have planned a short route as you recommended. I does take me passed a know PGPSW 30mph speed camera. However, how do I DEMO the route to myself? I cannot find the demo option.

Done that. But only displays the TomTom 30mph speed camera, not the PGPSW one.

OK.
I have a folder on my 750 called Europe_2GB and within it are all my PGPSW "pocketgps_uk_xxxx" files.

Ok, that sounds correct so something odd is going on here.

Do you have other POI files installed? I'm talking about POI files you have downloaded and installed as opposed to the ones supplied with your device?

One other thing, do you have a memory card installed in your 750?

Yes I do have other POI's installed. Park and Ride and a BT (British Telecom) POI listing all UK telephone exchanges (I am A BT employee!).

They are the same POI's that I have been using for years on my GoClassic.

Yes I also have a BLANK 4GB memory card installed (that was going to be one of my next questions) but it makes no difference whether it is inserted or not to the PGPSW cam alerts working. I have tried both with and without it installed.

As you have a new 750, are you using TomTom's fuel alerts and the Fuel Prices Live service?

Have a read of Andy_P's post entitled "WARNING - TomTom's fuel POIs can disrupt the Camera warnings".

Just a thought.
