Safety Camera Database Update for CoPilot Smartphone

stuartm · Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2004 10:59 pm Post subject:

Let's start from basics.

In the CoPilot Live for Smartphone package you will have had a memory card and a couple of CDs, the memory card contains an installer routine, the maps and the POIs. If you put the CD into an ordinary PC it will install a desktop version of CoPilot live.

To update the POIs you need to run the PC version of CoPilot, delete the speed cameras that are in there as a custom POI and load in the new POIs. You now have a desktop version with the new POIs and a phone version with the old ones.

From the desktop version you now create - using the download wizard - a new memory card that contains the updated information to go onto the phone, as part of the process you delete the old maps and POIs from the card and replace them with the new ones so that when you restart CoPilot on the phone it will be using the new POIs instead of the ones that were on the card originally.

Is that any clearer?

Do you mean you can't find them after unzipping when using Windows Explorer or you can't find them when using the import function of CoPilot Desktop? When selecting the file to import using CoPilot Desktop, don't forget to change the 'Files of Type' from '.TXT' to 'All Files (*.*)'.

That's a good point, make sure you select the .xls and not the .csv
However, seeing as they are in the same directory, if you're not seeing the .csv then you're not going to see the .xls either.

Let us know how you get on ;)

I've just realised, you won't find pocketgps_uk_sc.*, they have been split out to pocketgps_continental.xls, pocketgps_uk_gatso.xls, pocketgps_uk_redlight.xls and pocketgps_uk_specs.xls.

You basically need to follow the process four times; once using pocketgps_continental.xls, then again using pocketgps_uk_gatso.xls, then using pocketgps_uk_redlight.xls and finally with pocketgps_uk_specs.xls.

As stuartm said, the pocketgps_uk_sc.xls file does not exisit any more. It has been split in to the 4 files above. Note again, you should select the files with the extension .xls and NOT .csv ;)

When I start the transfer process, I select my "C" drive as the destination source. Once the trnasfer process is complete I have a "c:\2577" directory (which contains the quick start files) and a "c:\copilot" directory. You should copy both these directorys to the root directory (\Storage Card) of your phone.

sorry to keep asking questions but am stuck on the final part, I need to know where the files are usually downloaded to on the pc for the new custom data base you create, and just so i get it right if i go into my storage card do i delete the yellow folder copilot and the yellow folder 2577.

Don't worry about the questions - better to be sure ;)

Yep, you can delete \Storage Card\copilot and \Storage\2577 on the phone.

When you did the map download on the PC, if you selected 'C' then you should find the folders c:\copilot and c:\2577. Copy these two folders to the phone to \Storage Card.

I have the cameras as Custom/Custom 1, but they only show up when "Show all POIs" is enabled, if I ask it to just show the custom POIs or just custom/custom1 they never show up.

Any ideas?
