camera database/ mac

woodchip · Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2011 1:11 pm Post subject: camera database/ mac

I have an ageing TT 700 which has been working well up to me upgrading to a mac . I have mastered the download issue and there seems to be no problem in installing the cameras into the TT, however, when I look in the POI page on the TT it shows that all the cameras have been installed and they are all ticked off as usual but when I browse the map they are not showing and indeed do not show when passing along the road. Can anybody say if this is a mac issue or a camera data base issue or indeed a me issue, help would be appreciated.

Thanks Andy but the answer is yes to both. The cameras are showing on my TT complete with loudspeakers but do not appear on the map view even when I zoom in. I have recently updated my TT map but surely TT haven't done anything to block them.

Hi Darren, Only had 2 maps installed but uninstalled the old one and deleted all the poi via TThome. Reinstalled latest cameras and went through the ticking of boxes ect. all cameras are visible in the show poi option and speakers are visible alongside the cameras but still not showing on the map Twisted Evil

How many POI groups do you have installed? Do you have many others over and above the PocketGPS Speedcam POIs? Also, have you tried a reset using the tiny rest hole underneath?

OK, one other possible issue that springs to mind, and is Mac related. The Mac's filesystem has an invisible files for some filetypes such as bitmaps. These are known as Dot Underscore files because they share the same name as file but preceded with a ._

When you copy a file to a non Mac system such as your GO, or a PC, these files are also copied in some circumstances and can show up on the device.

I'm wondering if this is related here?

No probs. Do you think it would help if I did a factory reset ?
