In addition to the above, how do I get into the mnu files I think I must have something unchecked or checked as the case may be ??

Woodchip,
Hook the go onto the PC, go to the SDK Registry Folder and you'll see your .mnu file.

Open it with Notepad.....

Theres nothing in there to "tick" or untick" though... it just allows you to modify the menu screen to how you like it....

Well, I went back to square one.....

Connected to PC
Removed POI Capture and the SDK Registry folders from my GO.

I have then unplugged it from the PC, powered it up, and everything is normal.

Reconnected it the PC
Downloaded the Zip file to the PC (V1.03G) again
Unzipped it directly to the Root Directory recreating the two folders.
Renamed the TomTom.700.mnu to tomtom.mnu and moved it to the SDK registry.

Powered down, unplugged it from the PC, Powered up... got my icon for POI Capture.. press it and it's still not loading!!!

Can someone just verify one thing for me...
The ICONS Folder...
On the instruction page, this is not mentioned as being in the POI CAPTURE folder, but it is... should it be? Or should that be on the root directory too??

And also, if you have any further ideas of how I can get this working... love to hear from you!

Thanks

Most of my system seems to be working now except that after disconnecting from the comp. everything works and I can click on an imaginary camera and it records it in the ov2 file and I can then delete it from that file and do this over and over again. I can turn the Go off and reboot it and things still work, but after an unknown amount of time when I click on the camera icon to record a target it reverts back to the map screen and yes that is with a full sat signal. I only have to reconnect to the comp. not even do anything with it but after disconnecting again it will work again !!!! any answers please

Woodchip, have you got a stable system yet?

I'm having so many problems with mine... I can't get it to run at all now...
It worked when I first installed it, then it stopped, then it started again... then stopped.
I've even wiped it off, reloaded it put new .mnu files on and everything... just can't get the POICapture to load at all.... really dissapointed!

I'm thinking i might go back and put my TomTom to how I bought it, then re-upgrade to 5.42, then add the cameras, then the voices and then finally give POICapture a final go....

700 with 5.420

I had a different kinda fun.
I Loaded it up and tried it with no signal. It said loading. When I got a signal I got the Icons and recorded an imaginary SC at my address and it was is the speedcamaras 0v2 file in Wester Maps. Looking good.
Tried again, tomtom locked up. Had to reset. Tried again, no Icons this time after tapping the capture icon.
Then even more worrying I didn't show a satalite signal. I'm stood out in the rain for ten mins - nothing.
Ended up using default setting - no signal still. Fortunately I had done a complete copy of my device so I pasted that back on. It worked. phew!!!
I think I leave it alone till they refine it a bit.

Hi Richard,

Yes I did as you suggested, copied the empty PocketGPSCameras.ov2 File to the Map Folder?

I checked all my folders again, and guess what... the .ini file was missing?? This is the second time something has been there when I have unzipped the files.
So I copied this from a previous back up.... disconnected from the PC,
Stuck it on the Window sill (5 satelites, hit the icon and bingo... it loaded...

Success. It didn't record anything the first time as it rightly states, so i hit the icon again, and guess what.... I have a camera in my street now!!!

Ok, so hooked it back up to the PC, opened up the map folder, opened the ov2 file and there it was... my camera!!

So I then open up the POICapture folder, copy the ov2 file back into the Map folder and it overwrites the one with the recorded camera... and all is fine...

Stick it back on the window sill, seven satelites present, and guess what... it doesn't load!!

My head now really hurts afdter hitting it against the brick wall!!!

Somebody somewhere give me some divine intervention!! Otherwise I'll have to do as Randy has done, and wait for it to be refined.... Crying or Very sad

The first time that you press the POICapture Icon it loads the Program into memory. It will stay in memory until you do a soft reset, like connecting to the PC.

Once you have done the first dummy camera, do a second one. This should now record a location. You can delete the location with Manage POI.

You're not alone Woodchip....
I just find it strange that some 700 users haven't reported any problems... yet I'm struggling here!!

Cheers for having a fiddle Richard, this is one thing I have got my teeth into and I WANT to beat it now... at one point, I was going to give up...

But for now, it's running, and I can store them. I just wont be uploading or deleting them until I know theres a fix....

Obviously if someone wants me to try some different scenarios then i will happily oblige, even if i crash and have to re-load the whole thing again!! But please, lets not get into double for figures for reloading... it's such a pain!!
