......... but how the Censored

do I get the right database and install it on my Copilot Live WM6 HTC Touch Cruise?

I've looked at the instructions for the last 2 months (on and off, I needed to go to work and walk the dog) but to me it looks a total mish-mash between 7/live, WM1/2/3/4/5, csv/something else, blah de blah.
Checked these forums and found others asking the same question and getting Kafkaesque answers then presumably losing the will to live, so I thought I'd see what response I got with a couple or 3 simple questions so here goes:

1) Which file/s do I need for UK and Europe speed cameras for Copilot Live on WMPro6?
2) How do I install it?
3) Do I need to delete anything to get rid of the existing camera database (that which came with the device i.e. TomTom demo and then the install of Copilot Live)?

Many thanks to all who go there.

Cheers,
Gordon

1) Hi and welcome.
2) Please do NOT use asterisks to disguise your swearing. The auto filter is there for a reason and not as a challenge for you to circumvent.
3) Does this page from the help table on the download page help you at all?

I have a Touch Cruise running CoPilot fine.
It comes on a micro-SD card and what you need to do is insert this micro-SD card in your TC card slot. In practice, I am using an 8Gb card, so all I did was copy the folders from the CoPilot micro-SD to my 8Gb micro-SD. Once you have done this, you should have two folders: '2577' and 'COPILOT'.

Within '2577' is a file called 'copilot.wm6ppc' which you need to execute (double click in File Explorer) and this will install the correct version on your TC. Now start up the application and it will install your UK map and get you to set up a few basic defaults and also ask you to Acitvate the software - you need your product key here.

Personally, I find the standard routing rather poor, so it may be worth looking into creating your own routing preferences. I have created two: 'Rural' which keeps me on B roads for use around my local area and 'Main Roads' which I use for longer distance routes. But you do need to play with the settings to find routing that suites your prefences. By the way, none of this is essential as the standard routing works fine, but is just not what I want and it tends to keep me to a roads which are not appropriate to where I live.

CoPilot will install its own camera database, although not necessarily the best, so you don't have to worry about anything else. PocketGPS World will probably tell you that they have the best camera database, but I don't personally use it - too expensive (flames welcome!).

I should also point out that CoPilot has been updated, so the version you have may already be out of date. Search this forum for a link to the latest version download.

Good luck. Hope it goes OK.

Crikey, get out of bad the wrong side? I haven't asked anyone to delete their sigs just bring them within our limits of 4-lines. Not too much to ask surely?

The swearing is unnecessary, this is a family forum and hiding it with asterisks in an attempt to defeat the filter is not the answer. Now perhaps we can all get back to business? Cool

This was my first post and I did not expect to be castigated for NOT swearing.
I think you are being astonishingly prudish and high handed. So much so that I felt I could not come back to this forum to follow up my problem for a considerable time.
When I did this evening I was heartened to see that I was not alone in my reaction but the opposite to see that The Moderator saw fit to (no doubt jovially) to tell me I sould not fly off the handle! Where did that come from? I did not reply to his patronising twaddle thankfully leaving that to others.
I'll probably be blocked now.
Thanks a lot.

tangerine27 - I think that the moderators comments were made against me, not you. Just a bad call without reading the previous posts.
I was just standing up for the 'asterisk', who can't speak for himself, is often mis-quoted and has a generally poor reputation for apparent bad language!

This forum DOES work and there are lots of useful people who contribute to help resolve problems. My advice is just to ignore the over the top intervention of one or two of the 'moderators'.

Hope you get on with CoPilot which is actually quite a good application but with several issues that you either get used to, or you move to another product. Unfortunately, the other products are becomming fewer and fewer for the Pocket PC. Looks like it's either CoPilot or TomTom (old maps) or a variety of newer products that have other issues.

Thanks reteb,

I'd done nothing since April when I originally downloaded something and installed it to somewhere until 10 mins ago.

I've just followed the instructions given in the link in the 1st reply to this thread. When I copied the files over to my card I noticed that there were half a dozen files that were replaced so I suspect that I had at least done that bit right previously.

I then followed the instructions on the link to "PPC6 - Enabling notification of Speed Cameras" and got as far as setting the PoI alert but found that "Custom" was greyed out and "Travel and Transportation" didn't exist.
Thats where I am. I'm traveling tomorrow so I will see what has happened if anything.

Random other points;
There was no 3 minute delay when I started CoPilot Live after the update
I have always got verbal and visual alerts of speed cameras but whenever there is one whithin a 1000yd radius which is not much use!

I hope this tells you where I am going wrong and that you can assist.

Cheers,
Gordon
