Safety Camera Update

Skids · Regular Visitor Joined: Oct 08, 2004 Posts: 71

I have just seen that there is a new update of the Safety Cameras so I have connected my Ipaq via Active Sync and run POIEdit which I always use to download updtaes.

When I run update now the software says there are no updates available.

I have also tried updating via Update Manager and still nothing.

The last updates POIEdit sees were on 4/12/2004 except for Specs which was the 9/12/04. I know the software is working because it has updated Sightseeing and Tourism today.

Please could somebody confirm that the updates are available as the site says.

Many Thanks

Hi skids

The update is available as a 270KB zip file, I've downloaded it straight to my pc and unzipped it there and then transfered the relevant files from the unzipped folder to my ipaq.

Thanks Carbon.

I have now done the same with the zip file and it works fine.

I have always used POIEdit in the past and I would like to continue using it as it automatically downloads the files to my storage card as well as other POIs so I am more concerned why that isn't working.

I have also posted a similar topic on the POIEdit site in case it is an issue with their software.

Regards

Skids

Hi Skids

I'm rather new to the whole pockect pc experiance and have only just downloaded and installed POIEdit following your post. POIEdit has downloaded the most recent update for the safety cameras, but as its the first time I've used it it should have.

Skids,

I have double checked the files on the server and the following files show a date stamp as of today:-

- pocketgps_uk_gatso.ov2
- pocketgps_uk_temp.ov2
- pocketgps_uk_specs.ov2
- pocketgps_uk_redlight.ov2
- pocketgps_uk_mobile.ov2

I suspect that you have POIEdit set to a proxy server, or to use IE settings and IE is using a proxy server as this will cause that problem.

You do have a proxy, and not one you can get rid of.

Using a moderator level function, I looked at the IP address you posted from - and it's an ntl: one. ntl: force all web traffic through what are supposedly transparent proxies - but they're far from transparent in many cases.

The proxying was one reason I left ntl: and went to Zen ADSL, which don't proxy any traffic.

It looks as if you've also posted from a BT connection - but I'm pretty sure I'm interpreting what I'm seeing correctly and this post of yours came from an ntl: address.

Hi.

I am raising this again because I am getting the same problem as before now that new updates are available.

Please read the previous threads and you will see what I mean.

I have read the FAQs and I know exactly what I am doing but POIEdit does not seem to think there are updates available.

I have also turned off proxies (as much as NTL will allow!)

Basically it was working once and it isn't now and I haven't cahnged anything

I know I can update manually but that is what I use POIEdit for and shouldn't need to!

Apologies if I come across as abrupt but I have waited patiently for new updates to test it again and it still doesn't work.

This is really annoying me now.

Please help if you are able to.

Many Thanks
