EUROPEAN DOWNLOAD

Hi all,
Have been using the UK database and am very impresssed, I am going to the continent on Sunday and was wondering:
1. If I use the Europe maps, they don't include the UK cameras do they, giving me double coverage?
2. Do I have to do anything as these will presumably be in kph?

Thanks,
Ady.

in response to the replies and pm's i have recieved from everyone, thanks Laughing

nice to be popular Shocked

I had spotted a link in an earlier thread from thomo which reffered to a german site that had continental cameras on it and i thought the information would be of use adyc, obviously it wasn't. I found it useful when i went overseas Shocked

however, i did'nt repost the link as it was already available in the site and merely let the member know that it was available. so if this has ruffled a few feathers then i apologise, but let me just clear one thing up before we finish, PaulB2005, I DONT POST ILLEGAL MATERIAL and would prefer it if it wasn't suggested that i may Confused

and as i have said the info is on the site and i was trying to help some one, when no one else had tried too Wink

glad thats cleared up Laughing

You can use the Pocket GPS World Euro cameras as well as any others you can locate on the internet, the POI files are then added in to the European map folder (Assuming you have the map of Europe loaded to your TomTom)

Watch out for exceeding the number of custom POI on your device (version 6 software the limit is 100) - count up the number of ov2 files in the map folder to know how many POI you have installed.
If you want a set of ogg spoken allerts that correspond to the PGPSW European download send me an e-mail and I will reply with the files - Mike

Thanks all for the info, and yours may well be useful Garden shed. I've put the europe cameras in the map folder and all the cameras have disappeared. I am using a tomtom 710 version 6.525. When I go to enable POI's the Europe downloads do not show.
Any ideas,
Thanks all,
Ady.

there isnt a problem with the tt if you download the europe speed files in kph then just change the indicating units to kph in settings as you wait to get off the ferry,2 min job Wink

How many ov2 files have you got in the European map folder? - if its over 100 then this explains why they have disapeared - there is a limit of 100 custom POI files on the TomTom version 6 software - Mike

I have 55 OV2 files so I should be ok.

Where did you get the ov2 European camera files from? - if they are TomTom's then they cannot be connigured as the ov2 file is encripted, it could be that other ov2 files are as well? - Mike
