TomTom one, transfer to new card plus upgrades help please

Have you tried just copying your backup to your new card and putting it into the ONE? This is how I did it on my RIDER, which is essentially a mute ONE with an overcoat on.

OK, put your original card into the ONE and connect it to your PC.
Turn the ONE on and wait for Windows to say it's found a USB Mass Storage Device.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to TomTom ONE (my RIDER is TomTom RIDER (F Smile

).
Once you have highlighted the ONE, select Tools > Folder options > View.
Click in the option Show hidden files and folders, then Apply, then OK.
Right-click on your ONE and select copy.
Right-click on your desktop and click Paste.
When this has finished, disconnect your ONE,take the original SD card out and put your new one in.
Reconnect the ONE to your PC and wait for it to be found again.
Right-click on the ONE folder on your desktop and click Copy.
Right-click on your ONE in Windows Explorer and click Paste.
Wait for it to finish, disconnect the ONE from your PC. It should reboot.

In the reverse order, yes it is easy, after the first time. Smile

Yes, you have the right file.

You will need to highlight the files you want to UnZip and Click Extract. You will be asked where you want to extract them to. Either create a new Folder, probably called Cameras, and select that as Destination. Or use some other temporary Folder.

Have a read of this. It will give you a little more help on whuich files to use.

I've deleted your other post, that duplicates this, as it might be confusing.

I think it would probably be easier to unzip the whole folder and then pick and choose which files you want.
Also, if you've got Windows XP, you won't need to use Winzip. Just right click on the downloaded zipfile and select "Extract All...". Save everything to a folder on your PC then copy across just the bits you need.

The description on Ray's site, (that Oldboy mentioned above) is very good, and well worth reading through.
The only thing I'd add is that some people will find that they use up too many POI categories if they use the full speed-zoned Gatso, Mobile AND specs sets. However, there is no reason why you can't mix and match and have, say, speed-zoned Gatso and Mobile sets and the single file version of the specs, redlight and temp cameras (that makes 18 categories rather than 23).

Have a look at Andy's post on this thread for distances.

It is easy to change. Tap Screen > Change Preferences . Manage POI > Warn When Near. Just follow the menu through on every camera group.

Note that to hear the camera warning when you don't have a route set, DO NOT tick the box labelled 'Only Warn When On Route'.

What a lot of questions Laughing

I'll try to answer some....

POST 1
First - stop getting panicky, you'll get used to it!

What you are trying to do with the data.chk is replace the original data.chk with a new one. So you could delete the original but it is always better when doing this sort of thing to simply rename the file to something like data.chk.old so you can retrieve it if something goes wrong or you just want to go back to what you had. Then you rename the new one to data.chk and put it in exactly the same place as the original one was.

Oncw you have got everything set up, the next month's download is simple. You just pick out the same set of ov2 files, drag them onto the card and windows will ask you if you want to replace the files with the same name. Just say "Yes to All" and it will replace everything in one go. All the other bmp (picture ) files can stay the same, and you won't need to set up alert sounds and distances again.

POST 2
Don't worry, you only need the 4 files
pocketgps_uk_redlight.bmp
pocketgps_uk_redlight.ov2
pocketgps_uk_temp.bmp
pocketgps_uk_temp.ov2

because the rest are the files for "all gatsos" "all mobiles" etc. for people who don't want to (or can't) use the speed- zoned set. You ARE using them so you don't want to have them twice.

POST 3
The specs cameras have only recently been offered as split into different speeds, so I guess the voice files have simply not caught up yet (also, unless you use POIextend you are very limited to how many different voice alerts you can have anyway). I would not bother using the speed zoned specs files and install the pocketgps_uk_specs.ov2 and pocketgps_uk_specs.bmp files instead.

"tba" just means cameras that no-one has reported the speed limit yet so they don't know what to call them.
"var" are the gantry cameras on the M25 and some other motorways where there are variable speed limits that can be imposed if it is congested or there has been an accident. Big signs light up with a speed limit, and cameras on the same gantries come into action at that speed.

Probably the easy way is to connect to the PC and in Explorer check the number of .ov2 files in the Map Folder. There is a limit of 39 with V5.420, so taking one away from the other will tell you how many you can still add.

If you think about how it will actually work in practice, I don't think your daughter will have a problem.
You're driving along a big dual carriageway and approach a camera. At the distance you've set the "Gatso" voice alarm goes off.

Or... you're pootling along in a 20MPH zone and approach a camera. You still get an alarm, does it REALLY matter that it only says "Gatso"?

It *would* be nice if there was a full set of speeds/voices, but the database is evolving all the time so the voices haven't all caught up yet. Not sure which voices you are using, have you tried the excellent ones on Rayflan's site HERE

Also, a couple of personal thoughts...
1) I've never even seen a 20mph camera! There must be a few around, but they certainly aren't common.
2) Personally, I've never felt the need for different voice alerts anyway. I just use the "Polite 2" default sound. One should really know what the limit is and if you've installed the .bmp icons, a quick glance will confirm it. (I've done some "Mobile" icons that match the others better (Big speed in red circle with "Mobile" underneath). If you want touse them, they are in the "Pearce" folder in the zip file you download from PocketGPSW.

Good luck!
Andy

Just download the ov2 files that you did before. The asc files are for the likes of Navman, etc. who import text files for POI.
