Hi all, Ive recently bought a GO550 Live because my old 4 year old GO710 blew something inside and gave out a lot of smoke!!! Crying or Very sad

Now i have allsorts of POI's installed but when they are on my map in the drive view the screen has slowed down a bit but if I untick them in the "Show POI on map" will this also not warn me when iam near them even tho I have selected sounds to warn me when Iam near POIs? Most are the camera POIs which I get from here.

Regards

Mark

Moved to TomTom PND Forum

I believe Andy discovered recently that if you have alerts set up for a POI but unselect it from being displayed it'll still alert you when you drive near it.

BTW it's easy to check by running a demo route under 300%

Thanks for that, and apologies for posting in the wrong section Embarassed

No problem. It's not so much it was the wrong section but that the TT PND one was more appropriate than the Dedicated Subscribers one. Plus anyone else searching for the answer to this question is more likely to be looking in the TT forum than the DS one thereby, hopefully, saving someone from posting the same question again later...

I'm still looking for Andys post about this...

Actually, it's under 400% for the demo speed to still hear computer voices or warnings....

I have found on 9.058 when the POIs were ticked to display but neither of the "show in 2d map" or "show in 3d map" boxes were selected they did not give the warnings I had set up and also the TomTom safety cameras warnings were not working either. By selecting the "show in 2D map" they started warning again when I was driving on the 3D map.

Another bug I think, as I had previously selected the 2D option but it disabled itself. I like the idea of seeing the POIs when I switch to 2D but not having them slowing down the map on my normal setting of 3D whilst navigating.

Hi, iam currently running 9.054 with UK map v855.2884 I have ticked to show some POI's on my maps in both 2d and 3d views but NOT to show speed camera ones through the "Warn when near POI's" and have set it to warn me when iam near them, just done a route that goes through 3 sets of cameras and set the demo off and indeed it did sound when i got to the cameras (Even tho one camera wasnt picked up by TomToms!!
