PGPSW Speed Camera Database on TomTom iPhone App

Is it possible to have a mapsettings.cfg that will sound the alerts without a route planned just like on the normal TomToms?

I tried increasing the size of the icon file to 44x44 and it appears larger but now blurred!! Anyway round this?

V1.7 does this. Just select disable voice.
This only silences the voice and not the speed cam warnings.
A big improvement on V1.6 where the only option was to mute all sounds

Having had some time to dig in to the V1,7 and getting the speed camera files working correctly here is a summary:

Name.png _ True 24 bit png image = icon on the map
Name_X2.png _ True 24 bit png image = icon displayed in menu
Name.ogg _ ogg audio file for warning sound

You no longer get the flashing warning displayed top left, its gone so get used to it, to be honest it never worked very well especially on an iPhone4 with the retina display.

When configured correctly you do get the icons on the map and displayed in the menu where required, you also get the spoken alert when approaching a camera, this will inform you of the camera type and its rated speed (something you can't do with the offering from TomTom).

I now have a set of files for the iPhone4 but need to sort out a set of files for the 3G/ 3GS users, this also will need testing when I can get the wife's iPhone for half an hour, once thats done I will get the downloads sorted albeit in a new thread as this one has run its course - Mike

Can confirm that the new V1.7 files are working fine. Thanks Mike. Very Happy

Here is a mapsettings.cfg without "plan a route", is a German Board.

But this mapsettings.cfg has other names (warning sounds) for the Speedcam POIs!!!

Confirmed. I renamed all my *.png files back to *.bmp. I then used a free Windows program called IrfanView to batch convert them all to png files and ticked a box in IrfanView's advanced batch settings to convert to 24 bit (as I had a few that were only 8 bit). Uploaded them back to the iPhone and no more red squares when using v1.7

Hi Steve,

I use an iMac which means use of IrfanView doesn't really work for me. Is there any chance you (or anyone else in the forum) can email me with the files i need so i can upload to my iphone 4 (and subsequently to my wife's iphone 3GS) via DiskAid (for Mac)?

Regards.

Samir

Thanks to Stephen, i now have this working on my iphone 4. Will shortly do the necessary on my wife's iphone 3GS. Hopefully, will work just as well.

Did a route demo using postcodes initially given by Mike Adler on a previous download. Mobile camera warnings come up as they should (except no icon on top left - as Mike noted in his earlier post). However, i seem to get two gatso warnings: (1) from the pocketgps and (2) another one which i think is TT's own as it comes up with a small traffic light type icon, followed by a beeping sound and an icon on the top left of the screen (showing a countdown to the camera).

Should i get rid of the second one; if so, how?. Dont think it will impair the driving even if it stays on.

If its a double Gatso warning at the end of Lindale Gardens then that is quite normal as there are indeed two Gatso cameras at this location, if you suspect its a secondary warning being triggered by the TomTom database simply remove the files as described by StephenLai a couple of posts prior to this one - Mike

having trouble getting the voice alerts working with v1.7, I sort of followed the instructions on the first page (my phone is jailbroken so i SFTP the files rather than use diskAid!)

(I modified the images to 24bit png files so the images work perfectly its just the audio on my 3gs!)

copied the mapsettings.cfg file to : they seem to equate to the same folders!

/private/var/mobile/Applications/ADA1E07C-CE58-4CC7-A7D7-4F8AE47E721F/Documents/Western_Europe

copied the ov2,ogg and png files to
/private/var/mobile/Applications/ADA1E07C-CE58-4CC7-A7D7-4F8AE47E721F/WEurope.app/Western_Europe

Was wondering if anyone can help? I was reading about taking the file from a tom tom PND, have an old tom tom one xl but reading the posts it doesnt sound like the file from this device would work!?
