 Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2005 1:50 pm Post subject: Struggling with POI Observer and Destinator PN |
 |
|
Hi there,
I am running Destinator PN, as it's the only Nav software I can run! I am in the UK, and it's the only (up to date) software which supports TMC, MN5 having removed it. Fingers crossed for an upgrade soon, in light of the RAC/Navigon news.
Anyway, I HATE Destinator's POI system as it is not very helpful for speedcams. I would rather have a system similar to POI Warner, which I used to use with my Navigon product (actually Medion Navigator). POI Observer seems to be a very similar product.
But I can't get the thing to work! I have downloaded the database from this illustrious site, and when I try to open it in Configurator+ I get a list of errors and a blank screen. I can't seem to get it to load into Configurator, so I don't have the required OBS file. I've seen a few threads relating to this, but can't seem to find the answer. Can anyone please please please please PLEASE help!  |

Thanks for that. I'm on the verge of getting it all working now, primarily thanks to some very helpful emails support for a man in Austria! He's writing a manual and asked me to help him get the English correct for the English version, so hopefully fairly soon there will be a decent English version of the manual.
It's not the most intuitive of programs, but when it's set up, it's pretty good! |

Hopefully I'll do a better job than I did on that post! "email support from a man in Austria" would have made more sense! |

 ! You just beat me to it Peter! I was just about to post that link, in case anyone found this post while struggling with their own setups!
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully the manual will make life easier for others. |
