 |
|
Hi folks I had a list of distances for the speed cameras which someone kindly put on one of the forums but I have since lost it and search as I might I cannot find it again.
I have used the 6.xx system i.e .bmp/.ov2/.ogg and the sounds all work fine.
Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Cheers,
Bryce
(I also heard that TomTom has fixed these warning distances to 500 metres ie they are no longer user settable)  |

If you go towards the end of THIS Guide the distances are listed, some others have increased the values by simple calculation to give distances relative to 80MPH speed, but that is speeding which we don't do  - Mike |

Do you mean your last para in your first post?
If so, yes TomTom have fixed the distances, but that is for THEIR speed cams which are now done in a different way (i.e. not using the POI system). |
