I see there is a variable category now, and have read the posts about how to set them up,

unfortuantely I still dont get it,

all I have done is copied all the files like I do every month across, is this sufficent,

I have looked at the tomtom and there doesnt seem to be another POI for the spped cameras

help please

cheers

hi

i have looked through the poi's to see if there is a variable one to add but cant see one :x

it should be called pocketgps_uk_gatso_var

it was in speed zoned/gatso/ov2 bmp files

i think this doesnt matter to me beucase i only copy across the ov2 and bmp files,

i dont have it setup for the speed zones, it just lets me know there is a camera infront

is this right

hi

what you have is fine but you will have to look in the speed zoned ones to get the variable ones if you want them

i believe that the variable ones will still be in the gatso file as well as the variable file so you dont need to put them in if you dont want to

the choice is up to you... but take into account if you put all the speed zoned ones into tomtom it will use up at least 18 catagories out of the 27/40 you can use

speed zoned = the icons lets you know the limit for example 30 in a 30mph limit,

so a variable gatso, would let you know that the gatso ahead was a variable one and not for example an automtic seventy limit

if thats the case i am fine, as i dont need that level of detail, as mentioned before just that there is a camera say mobile in front of me,

p.s. sorry for being thick, but i explain it to the people i work with as they have tomtom go's

hi

yes thats correct 30=30mph etc

variable just flashes as a red circle with a black star in it as obviously it cannot know what the limit is every minuite of the day

it sounds as if you do not need it in this amount of detail in which case just put the normal ov2 bmp files in eg gatso/mobile/temp/specs/redlight as these will tell you which type of camera is ahead only(not what speed limit)

Forgive me if I'm being incredibly 'nice but dim', but I've just downloaded the pocketgps v3.094 and looked in the 'speed zoned' folder and all that's in there are 'gatso' and 'mobile' folders. Nothing with 'redlight' & 'specs' etc.?? Where are they???

I have them in my GO from previous S-C files, with their individual icons, but I can't see where the new updated files are!

Hi DocL,

Have you got a folder called "ov2 bmp files", as that's where they should be.

Regards,

It has been that way for some time now.

For a run down on which files to use, see this Sticky. http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=28738

Thanks Richard, I don't think I've updated them since May; but then I'm a very careful driver, of course Laughing
