Itouch and Tom Tom

iandee · Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2011 4:34 pm Post subject: Itouch and Tom Tom

Have 'searched' but cannot find a specific topic about the itouch.
I have a brand new shiny itouch (4Gen) and downloaded the Tom Tom app, which seemed to be 'on offer'.
Only having an Garmin i3, there seems to be a great improvement - but what do I know.

Naturally I am searching for info on getting the PGPS speed cameras and personal POIS onto it.

I note topics etc regarding the iphone apps/downloads.
But do they ALL apply to the itouch?

Adding POI files to the Apple devices used to involve jail breaking them until recently, whilst I appreciate the link will take you to a page detailing how to install the PGPSW camera database to the iPhone I would expect the same to work with your hardware.

Click Here

For the addition of other third party POI files if its got the Retina display then icons are best sized 44x44 rather than the more usual 22x22 but other than this follow the guide and treat the POI files in the same way as the camera POI files - Mike

Assuming you have a GPS equipped cradle of sorts then why not use our CamerAlert app?

No? Our CamerAlert App is a dedicated iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch SpeedCamera Alert. It downloads the data in the app and requires no fiddling other than setting your preferences.

Cameralert is an app written by PGPSW and sold via the app store. If you have a subscription pay for the app, download and install. Follow the instructions and enter your subscription details. The app runs on the iPhone and you can download the database into it. It uses the Google maps to display the location of cameras and uses voice alerts too. You can turn either off if you wish so you can have voice alerts with or without the map. To use it with the TomTom or any GPS app you run it in the background and use the voice alerts. It does not integrate with any other app so does not affect any GPS app. At 59p it's worth trying it if you have a subscription already.

Thanks for your help, but just need to mention again that I am talking about itouch not iPhone.
I have now bought the 59p app and as I am already a subscriber registered and downloaded the CameraAlert.
I am aware that I cannot use the
map but that the CameraAlert in List view works in the background
and Will give voice warnings of cameras etc.
I am also aware that CameraAlert needs a GPS signal on the itouch.
So, firing up the TomTom,getting a Gps signal, eventually, expected to start receiving the warnings. However there is no indication that CameraAlert is working/ getting a signal. The red icon, when I go to map view, is always red not blue.
Is there anything that I have forgotten to do?
