No POI (New TomTom One New Version)

After downloading the Pocket GPScameras and enabling the POI, when navigating to POI near destination my new TomTom One (new version) does not find any GPS Cameras within any distance set ?? Any thoughts..

You don't actually navigate to speed cameras? You navigate to other places/POI's and the TT alerts you there is a camera nearby.

If you merely want to see where the nearest cameras are, you can navigate to POI near destination and select a camera file ( i.e. pocketgps_uk_gatso40 ) & providing there is a 40mph gatso camera within the distance you set, it'll show up.

That is not really what the database is for though.

You enable them, add some 'Warn when Near' alerts, navigate to a POI, such as Airport - Heathrow, then as you drive along you r TT will tell you what type and speed ( if you use Zoned ) the approaching camera is.

regards & Welcome

I have installed and drove past the nearest speed camera to my home to test and the TT did not pick the camera up ??

Dave, As Hirvevarra has said you don't just enable the POI you need to go to Change Preferences/ Manage POI/ Warn When Near POI and configure this option for each camera category you have installed, its a once only opperation, updates are simple to just replace the ov2 data. To Start with have a read through a few of the links provided from THIS Page - Mike

On registering, you will have been provided with links &/or installation info. The basics are download the database, unzip it, copy all of the unzipped files ( ov2 & bmp ) across to your map folder ( GB, GB_plus, etc.. ), Enable them, add Warn when near alerts, use.

Note: if you have not copied ogg voice files across, you will need to select an alert sound from the list. If you did copy them, it will use the ogg file of the same name as the ov2 camera file.

Any of that sound familiar?

Which database did you download?
Which version - OV2 or Home?
Have you got the ogg files ( i.e. from Rays Site ).
Have you set your Warn when Nears

Just noticed * mikealder * drop in with info. Thanx.

Dave. Have just read you Double Post.

Can you tell us whether you are having trouble with POICapture or PGPSWorld Camera Database?

I am having a similar problem with the 'warn when near POI' as when I select one POI, the others seem to vanish from the menu. Also I have tried the OOG method for sound, but the option for choosing 'bell' etc is still there. Any tips?

The ogg file method works fine on the PDA version using TomTom Navigator version 5, x or 6,x THIS Page contains specific information, the same method will work for PNA or PDA - Mike
