hi Guys - the app sounds great and i'd love to buy it.

I have had the speed camera database in the past on my standalone tom tom. now i have iphone tomtom and it is great. however as the tomtom app cannot run with your app at the same time i won't be able to buy which is disappointing. Any ideas if/when tomtom will allow custom poi's so that i might then be able to add your database? or when apple will allow both apps to run at the same time or if you will be working with tomtom to integrate your camera data?

frustrated Confused

HI MaFt

thanks for that. i agree i'll probably do that. what i can see happening is though that i'll use the cameralert app in my local area - where i already know where the camera's are - but when i'm travelling which i do alot of with work, i use tomtom so i know where i'm going - and that's when i need both. i'll just have to rely on tomtom's built in camera alerts and hope they keep them upto date or open it up to allow poi database additions

Hi,

I think this may have been answered before but I can't find it.

Firstly congratuations on a superb app for the iPhone which I have bought and installed. It is excellent.

My question is this. If I buy a TomTom iPhone mount with its inbuilt GPS, will that GPS information be used by your app or does it only use the iPhone internal GPS?

Keep up the good work !!

Paul

It uses the GPS information from the TomTom Car Kit by just placing it in the powered mount, if you want to get the benefit of the amplified speaker in the mount then you pair the iPhone to the mount via Bluetooth - Mike

I've got a garmin with custom voices installed so it tells me the type of camera and speed limit vocally, it turns on with the car and switches off with the car (car has built in sat nav so dont use it for that).

The trouble with the above is it warns me about cameras in both directions so i'm tempted by the iphone app, does anyone what type of audible alert it gives?, i wouldnt be looking at the iphone screen while driving.

Thanks
