How to install speed cameras ONLY on tomtom one?

Ive been browsing all day, all the topics seem to focus on installing them for the other models apart from the tomtom one.

Ive downloaded the speedcamera files and I recall instructions telling me to just copy the .ov2 and bitmap files and paste them into the main map folder on the tomtom, thats it.

Did that and still dont show up the cameras. Whats going on? Wheres the instructions to install them on the tomtom one only?

Have you enabled the POI for the cameras ?

The install process is exactly the same for ALL tomtoms. The only extra steps are on the Go910 where you can add Text to Speech warnings. Everything else is the same throughout the range.

As Space_cowby says enable them in Change Preferences / EnableDisable POI.
Have you set up the "Warn when Near" for every category?
Have you gone over the 100 user category limit? (this exculdes the built-in tomtom supplied ones).

I'm not sure from the post if you copy/pasted the individual ov2 and bmp files into the map folder, or copied the folder which contained the ov2 and bmp files.

For the POIs to work, every individual ov2 and bmp file must reside in the appropriate map folder. If they lie in a separate folder they won't work, even if that folder is a sub-folder of the map.

Of course ive enabled them.

This is what I got when I downloaded the file for the speed cameras:
PocketGPScameras.ov2
POICapture folder
TomTom.mnu
SdkRegistry folder

I downloaded another file for the sideways icons which I used instead of the normal ones cause the instructions said so for the tomtom one.

Ok, this is what I did, follow the instructions, for the tomtom one it said copy the .ov2 and bmp files, did that and pasted it where asked in the map folder. Enabled them and everything on the tomtom.

Here are instructions:

It doesnt mention anything to do with the .sku file?

When I go onto the tomtom and search for pocketgpscameras it says cant find anything.

You have downloaded and installed POICapture which is an application to record the position and type/ speed of cameras, it is NOT the speed camera database, this is seperate and requires subscription to the site in order to access the members area - Mike

I subscribed, paid, got proof of payment but still I cant find a direct link to the members area or whatever area I need to download the database.

I know now why I cant download the database, it is because the payment is pending through echeque which will take upto 20th feb to clear, Im extremely angry at paypal, all of my transactions are done through instant bank transfer, i have no idea why this is gone through echeque, i needed the database as soon as possible aswell, proper angry.

There's no point in linking him to the camera download page if his subscription hasn't gone through properly...

From the "Subscription FAQs"

Whoops, sorry CSB... Our posts crossed.
I'm sure one of the Admin can sort out a refund, if you start all over again, and work out how to pay by credit card.

Ill be very happy to get a refund and process it instantly. Any mod got any powers to refund it?

Have a look at "Usergroups" in the bar at the top of this window.
Select "PGPS staff" in the "non-member groups" section.

Maybe a PM to one of those, but hopefully they will spot this thread soon anyway.
