Hi I have old Tom Tom Start, I am thinking of subscribing will the database be compatible with my device?

Also someone kindly mentioned about a premium set of POI's just wondered what they include?

I need the following

1/speed cameras
2/low bridges
3/weight restrictions

Hope anyone can help new to site, will now have time to navigate around it and try to help myself more!, Great Site!!!!!

Thanks

Hi,
the camera database is just another set of POIs so if your unit can accept user-POIs you're good to go.

However, IIRC, out of the box, the original Start models had the "Easy menu" (i.e. a reduced menu) which didn't have the "Warn when near POI" functionality you need to get warnings.

I can't remember if that changed with an official software update,so the first thing to do is see if you have a "Manage POIs" sub-menu in the "Change preferences" menu, and if there is a "Warn when near POI" icon in that sub-menu.

If not, you CAN add a custom menu file to the unit to regain some of the missing features.

There's a very long topic about it here:
How to get more menu options on models with 'Easymenu'

You can either write the required menu customisation file yourself (it's just a text list of the required menu items), or hopefully there should be some links in that topic for ready-made ones.

---------

As for the "premium" POIs, you get access to all of those as well if you have subscribed for the Speed Camera database.

Hi,

I have been following this link, as I am trying yo enable POI's.

I have created said text document tomtom.mnu and put it into files SdkRegistry, it then says place in the root of gps!. Sorry to sound dim where is this?, do I have the gps connected to pc with home started?

I did place the file straight into where the folders are contained in the directory for licences,tomtom config voices etc is this correct?, or does it go somewhere else/ I tried the instructions for seeing if it had worked no further menu to enable POI's- not sure what I am doing wrong?

Any help welcome

Thanks

Jason

Yes, that is correct. The Root is the top-most level you can access, i.e. not in any existing folders but directly into the memory (equivalent to what would be the "C" drive on a PC).

Use Windows Explorer to copy the files across, not TomTom Home.

Sorry, I can't help with the other issues you are having.
