found a speed camera how do ya log its postion using tomtom

[flasher]

just found a new gatso thats been installed over the last few days

its currently not on the pocket gps database

how do i log its position using tomtom-mobile

i think its only fair that since i use the speed cam warner that i should help by submitting camera`s as and when i find em

so if someone can tell me how to log it using tomtom mobile i`ll get it submitted

cheers

The quickest way to do that is to press 4-4 when you are at the Gatso location. This will add it as a Favourite (hmm, how sick is that) and you can later go back and find the Lat/Lon data for that.

right i`ve logged the camera as a favourite, but how do i get the info from the favourite


i`ve had a look but can`t figure it out

[lbendlin]

- go to the Favourites list
- tap and hold the one you recorded
- tap "Show on map"
- tap Tools > Goto GPS coordinates

This will show you the coordinates for the speedo. Depending on your settings they may already be in decimal format, or you may have to convert them.

anyone know if you can do something similar on the smartphone version? As there isn't the same menus avaible

[lbendlin]

as mentioned earlier you can record your current position as a favourite by pressing 4-4 . But then the application does not expose the Lat/Lon of that point, so you would have to take the data from the TomTom settings file. Possible but not trivial. The data is stored in the ,CFG file that's in the map directory.
