No POI Warnings when in GPS mode, works okay in Demo mode.

[mrralphman]

Hiya,

I've a strange problem at the moment.

I've TomTom 5.1 on an Axim X5.
I have a the Speed Camera Database installed and set up with custom warnings.

Recently I have stopped getting warnings for these speed cameras.
I cannot remember making any changes that would cause this, but that's not to say I haven't.

I get the normal direction voice prompts okay, but no POI warnings.

The strange thing is, this only happens in 'live' mode. If I use a Demo, they play successfully.

I've tried disabling/enabling the warnings, but with no joy.

Any one got an idea?

Paul.

Paul, Welcome to the forum, Firstly go into preferences, managePOI then select Warn when near POI, make sure each of the camera catagorys are set correctly with the required noise or real voice warning, on the last screen you have a check box for Warn only if POI on route, this is up to you, its handy to reduce the number of warnings that have little relevance, but you must have a route planned for it to work, if you are driving around with no route, or you are not following the route then you will not get warnings - this is what I suspect you are doing, driving without a route, with warn only if POI on route selected - Mike

Mike,

Thanks for the quick reply, I think that this is my issue.

I thought that this meant that it will only warn if it's on the road I'm driving down, rather then the planned route.

I'll try this on my way home.

Cheers...

Paul.
