POI Capture, Installation

[shaka]

I am considering installing the POI Capture in my TTG 700 v5.420 however I would rather change file names before I download as I am not keepn on meddling with the original software!

I am told to rename the tomtom.700.mnu in the SDK file to tomtom.mnu. The only tomtom.mnu file I can find is in the POI Capture Zip file, it is however not in the SDK Registry folder but is a separate file along with the Pocketgpscameras.ov2 file. I cannot find either a tomtom.mnu, a ttomtom.700.mnu nor a SDK Registry folder in my original TTG700 database.

Is it the mnu file in my TTG database or in the POI Capture download that I am supposed to be renaming?

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Have you downloaded the correct File? You should have POICapture1.03G.5.420.zip

From what you state it would seem that you have, perhaps, used the Version for the ONE.

With the File above there are 2 tomtom.mnu Files in the Root of the Unzipped Folder. The one, tomtom.700.mnu, is then re-named to tomtom.mnu and placed in the SdkRegistry Folder on the 700.

Richard, Thank you, I had the wrong download, there are 2 x mnu files a 300 and a 700 ! However, I assume the SDK Registry you refer to is the one in the download, as one does not already exist on the software of my TTG 700?

Thus I move the renamed mnu file in the download into the downloaded Sdy Registry and dump whole POI Capture zip file in the root of the TTG. Presumably I can also delete the tomtom.mnu.300 so as not to waste space on the TTG hard disk?

thanks in anticpation

Unzip the downloaded Zip File to a Location on your Hard Drive. Create say a Folder called POICapture.

Delete the 300 File. Rename the 700 File and copy to the SdkRegistry Folder.

Select bothe Folders, POICapture and SdkRegistry, and Copy/Paste to the Root of the 700.

Thank you after several failed attempts, (and I tried slightly different configs), loads and reloads, it seems to be working although not yet tested in anger. On several of the attempts I had the "Capture Camera" icon on screen but when I tapped it (with several good GPS satellites logged) all I got was a return to the map screen. I seee others have had the same problem.

A couple of other queries if I may, in an attempt to understand the system more fully and to solve it if it goes wrong again:

a. should the renamed menu file be tomtom.mnu OR TomTom.mnu ?
b. Should the Sdk and POI folders be placed in the TTG Root or "Maps" folder ? I see some respondents seem to have placed it in the "Maps" folder and it seems to work?
c. In my SdkRegistry folder there is a "Dixons.ttf" file and an icons folder, neither of which are mentioned on the PGS instructions. My POICapture folder does not have a ".exe" file, it only has a "PocketPGScameras.ov2" and a "POICapture" file with no ".exe" extention.

Are these annomalies or ?
