GO 530 PGPS Vs TT Prem camera service

[fopa]

Hi,

I have had my go530 for around 18 months now, and i recently had an issue where the device wasnt functioning correctly. TT wanted me to send the device so they could charge me £££ however i fixed the issue by simply using an external memory card thus saving me at least £50.

During these issues i got caught by a mobile camera on the M180 doing 86mph so not best pleased to say the least. Therefore i thought it would be best to get an update in terms of safety cameras and naturally the best option driving at the right speed.

I was reading over at TT about the difference's in the Databases that PGPS and TT use, so i want to clarify before i go ahead and get myself a subscription here.

GO530 wont be a problem will it?
I simply add the PGPS DB into the map folder on the TT (after back up etc)?
By adding this DB, when connecting to TTHome it will not cause any issues?

I look forward to any responses.

Welcome to the forum, the PGPSW database will work fine with the device you have got, it also includes the locations known where mobile cameras operate from which might have saved the M180 issue as the TT Mobile camera coverage isn't worth a jott (neither is the fixed camera database they supply IMHO).

If you need any advice installing and configuring the camera database on your device just ask as we have extensive guides that cover this and it doesn't take very long, combine this with a weekly update and the chance to earn a lifetime membership for free I don't think you will look back - Mike

As Mike says it will work just fine on the Go530. You can also download voices for the warnings, or even type your own in as I do for all the different camera types and speeds works great.

Thanks for the reply pocket.

I still need to sort my subscription out, as the paypal method is the only one, where usually paypal also offers the alternative of paying via card without having the paypal account.

I have the weekend to get myself sorted out though.

I have my subscription but my device wont power correctly d'oh.

I have downloaded the files do i have to disable the current safety cameras provided by tt before i set up the new POI's
