I guess this is very much a matter of taste, but why spoken speed camera alerts?

I find the straightforward clang of a bell or something else that I have associated with speed cameras far preferable to the fuzzy and unnecessarily long message from another navgation package that I use. You can of course choose three or four tones to represent as many different speeds, if you wish.

So you are aware of the speed you should be doing without having to look at the GPS....

Not always, but that's why I have a few different sounds for them. I've got on with them well, but it sounds as of that might be just me

I suppose my view is a bit skewed because of the implementation of voice-based warnings that I have actually experienced. Maybe I'll feel different if I get around to trying the ones for TomTom.

you only need two files

Thanks Lutz, you've solved my problem and I'm now up and running with v5.21.

Why, oh why, do TomTom make the upgrade procedure so difficult when it's just a case of replacing two files?

How does the camera database make you aware of the speed you should be driving at?

Further to my earlier post about different tones for different speeds, I got a couple of things mixed up there after not using TomTom for a week or two. So, in fact what I was describing was rubbish!!

Apologies for that.

Quite right, B-C. If someone is using their SatNav to prompt them of the speed limit of the road they're on, perhaps they shouldn't be on it?

And to expect SatNav to give the speed at which they should be driving is the most idiotic thing I've read in a long time.

Yes, a simple list of bug fixes and/or enhancements in v5.210 has been conspicuously absent so far.

Any reputable software vendor would have no hesitate publishing such a list with a new version.

So TomTom, WHERE IS YOUR LIST?

Hi,

Please help me with this: i'm about to by the QTEK 9100, to use as PDA and aslo as a navigation device. I like to use Tom Tom Navigator 5 (TTN5), but, the OS of the QTEK 9100 is the new Windows Mobile 5 (WM5). The Tom Tom site refers that this OS is not supported by the TTN5 or the bluetooth receiver.

Looking to the posts above, i find some users using the TTN5 with PAD with WM5. Therefore, is possible to use TTN5 with WM5?
It is possible to use the bluetooth receiver from Tom Tom with the WM5?

To finish: anyone use the QTEK 9100 with the TTN5? Anyone nows if it is possible, despite the Tom Tom site say it still not possible?

Thank's.

Regars,
Marco

Hi there - this is my first post here.

I have installed the latest update 5.2 but when I start the program, the backlight switches off.

This would also happen in 5.1 but I found a fix on the XDA.Developers site.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

Anis

Forgot to mention in my previous post, I have made sure that the Backlight does not turn off in Settings but this makes no difference. When I load TomTom, it switches the backlight off.

Close down TomTom, and the Backlight come back on.

Lovely.

I agree you should know what the speed limit of the road is that you are on, but sometimes you may go from one limit to another without realising - like the North Circular at the bottom of the M11 - why is that a 50 limit when its in a cutting???
