warnings for xl live

[markybtenerife]

im sat here waiting for the delivery man to bring my new xl live
and whilst im doing that im getting all the cameras and pois ready.
but i was wondering which of the speed camera icons to use.
on my old pda i used the 24x24 but im guessing i can now use the 44x44. but i read that you should use the 44 and the 24 together is this right , and which ones should i use
also im going abroad soon, so can i also add the kph ones as well, and use them with the mph ones
is there a voice warning that speaks in kph that can be used alongside the mph ones

Yes, you will need both the 24 and 44px icons. The 24px ones are used on the map and the 44px ones are for the alerts in the top-left corner.

The EUR database and icons have different filenames to the UK ones so can be used together (just takes a bit longer to set up the alerts).

On the Voice alerts page, there are km/h warnings in the Kate set.

First the icons....

The 22x22 (or you can use 24x24) are ALWAYS needed.

The 44x44 "x2" versions are OPTIONAL. They only make the enlarged view in the top left corner when you approach the camera look better (because the system doesn't have to enlarge the small one). They make no difference to the normal icon on the map or driving view.

For historical reasons I cannot remember, the icons bundled in with the camera data files in the normal weekly camera database download have the OLD style icons as the normal sized ones (so for example the mobile sites look like this: with the speed limit in small red numerals in the corner), but have GerryC's alternative ones for the large-size ones (which all look like speed limit signs but in different colours, so for example the mobiles look like this: ).

I suggest you replace the normal-sized ones with Gerry's too.
They are ALL available and explained on his own website HERE, or on this site HERE.

You only have to do it once... just remember to only copy across the new camera datafiles whenever you update them, so you don't overwrite your new icons with the default set.


---------------------------------------
Euro..
Yes you can have the UK and Euro camera database and icons on your system at the same time. The filenames are different so they can co-exist happily.

Euro voice warnings.....
Yes, there is one voice pack for Europe. All the voice packs are available from THIS PAGE and the one you're looking for is "Kate".

Ooh sorry... Reading it back, I could have done with a second smiley to show I wasn't really upset!

We both took your reply with the that you had on your face when you typed.

By the way, just to be blatently pedantic, the "old" icon you posted ( ) is my consolidated by type one. I think you meant .

It's 'Free POIs and more' - 'Customise Your SatNav' - 'Icons'.

I'll stop now.

markyb, please let us know if this works or not. We'll get back on topic if you need us.
