I'd forgotten how bad TomTom's cameras were...

Driving down to Sheffield last night from Bradford, along the M62 near Leeds... All I got on my Via Live was 50mph average speed camera warnings. These were removed nearly 6 months ago!! So frustrating, not only that they are so out of date but that you can't even mark them as removed! So for an 8 mile stretch I had constant beeps saying I was over the 50mph limit...!

At least CamerAlert stayed quiet as it should have been!

What a coincidence! When I got map v870 on my GO550 Live, it reactivated TT's camera warnings and I got bugged by them. So I decided to really test them against PGPSW. I downloaded the latest cameras from TT, then set up different warning sounds for each of the 12 different "safety" thingies. I had to write them all down of course, as there'd be no way I could remember them. But I needed different warnings for each type to check they were getting them right - I mean, the good old simple Polite allocated to every camera on first installation is nota lotta use. So duly armed with the latest download, off I went to Chelmsford, 7 days in succession - Bristol, M4 to M25, clockwise M25 to J28, then up the A12. I forgot to take the list with me! So the first trip had a warning for every overbridge on the M4 from Bristol to Slough, including one footbridge and two cattle crossings (Oh, and my favourite ANPR site just east of Junction 18 - I have a photo of the van doing it). In the majority of cases, I got two warnings, before and after each bridge. Then they stopped working at about Slough that first day, and when I took the list next day, I got about four warnings, then nothing. I have tried my best, but I really can't persuade them to work all day long. Whether it's time related or quantity doesn't seem to have any logic. One day it works for half an hour, the next for an hour, the next it stops then starts again after I have switched off at a stopping point. One regular, but not unfailing warning is for a mobile at the end of my road in just about the most dangerous location for pedestrians, never mind a standing officer doing speed checks (couldn't park anything, not even a motorbike - it's a T junction on the inside of a bad visibilty bend).

Every time I connect to Home to download any available new cameras, the flaming thing resets my map colours. GRRRRR!!
