TomTom 6.030 + POI-Warner 2.71

Hi

Has anyone got Tomtom 6.030 & POI-Warner 2.71 working together smoothly? I used it successfully with Tomtom 5.1. With tomtom 6 it locks up when you try and launch tomtom from the poi-Warner screen. It also locks up if you try to launch it from within tomtom.

I'm using an Ipaq h5550 with Western Europe maps.

Any help much appreciated.

POI Warner worked on V6.010 but does not work on V6.030.

I have the same setup as you but I don't get the crashes, just no output from POI Warner when using V6.030

There appears to be a problem with both POi Warner and Checkpoint with the latest TTN 6.03. This has also been noted in some of the German GPS forums who are lobbying the author of POI Warner for a fix/workaround. In the meantime the advice seems to be to revert back to V6.02 and it will work fine.

When I approached the POI Warner support about this they informed me that TomTom had made an error in 6.030 and they were working on a POI Warner fix which would take 3-4 weeks.

Thanks for the update

I have also received an email from navigating.de support that confirms problems with v 6.030 and 3rd party plugins. Navigating.de say they hope to have a fix in the next few weeks.

I have installed some ogg voice files for speed camera warnings in the mean time. Defiantly not as good as using poi warner though.

Thanks for the replies.

POI Warner have been telling me in about 3-4 weeks for three months now and in their last response they said I should look at TomTom for a fix, which makes me think they are not really doing anything about it at all.

Has there been any further news on a fix for the PIO Warner yet?

There is a new version out V2.9 http://www.navigating.de/poiwarnertt5/setup_arm.exe,

However it is still not compatible with V6.03 of TTN6. They are still working on a fix!

I don't think that there is a fix - there is an error in TomTom SDK with external calls and unless TomTom fixes it there is very little any third party can do about it. Also TomTom announced that they would no longer support the SDK for all-in-one devices, maybe its the case for the PPC version as well.

So what are the rest of you doing about getting voice commands for speed camera's etc?

We all use the OGG file method to get spoken alerts using the inbuilt TomTom POI warning system, this allows a single alert per approaching camera, if you want two warnings install two differently named set of POI files and corespondingly named ogg files, this works very well, try a search for "ogg" and you will find all the details needed, including a full page devoted to free downloads of ogg file packs in various voices - the only part the TomTom cannot do is offer an additional warning if you are above the speed limit - Mike
