 |
|
Have bought my wife a "Start" for christmas but have now read a few posts on here about it being incompatible with the camera database.
Until I turn it on i dont know what the latest software version will be.
Should I try the database or change it for a compatible version ?
Grateful for any help & suggestions

There are ways to get the speed camera database from this site working on the start but its certainly not been made easy, one option is to install a custom menu file, the other is to drop a pre-configured MapSettings.cfg file straight in to the active map folder but this requires access to a higher spec TomTom PND to create the said file.
To be honest I would consider swapping it out for something like the XL IQ which does offer some third party POI support - Mike |

To provide the MapSettings.cfg file?
If your One can handle the camera database, then yes, it should be a suitable 'donor.' |

I have just been given a FREE TT Start and intend having it as a family and back-up unit for my 930.
What is involved in creating a MapSettings.cfg file from my 930 to drop onto the map file in the Start?

It should be there on the 930 already.
There's always one in the folder for your map (if you were to delete it, the system builds a new one next time you switch on).
So set up all your POI warnings just how you like them and then copy the file over to the Start. |

Since pois do not show in driving view on a Start, there is no option to set warnings for them.

So I think I understand now, just copy the file from my 930 to the map folder on the Start. If poi's are not visable will I still get the warnings?
