Sorry, being an engineer I have to grab tools and run occassionally. I wouldn't class myself as a 'better class' of viewer, but I do try Wink

I've used csv and ov2 versions with CoPilot 6 and have found both to work.

As long as you copy e.g. the single file version ov2 and bmp files over, rename both to safetycamera ov2 and bmp, delete the ao*.* files and then restart copilot, all should be ok. I would suggest the single file to start with to test it.

You should find that the custom poi entry goes and the safety alert icon comes up in the menu instead which you then have to enable.

I've got to dash again shortly, but I will keep trying to help if I can.

Yes all ao*.*
I think you'll find 8 in the SAVE directory

I've got 9 in total

AOCATTYP 136b
aoPoi 0b
AOPOI 56b
aoPoi 0b
aoPoi 8b
aoPoi 1b
aoPoi 8b
aoPoi 0b
AOTYP 408b

I can't delete these from my PDA for some reason so I put the mini SD card in my mobile phone and delete them. The above is what I deleted yesterday after I had renamed the files and when I restarted CoPilot, it was then giving me that error message Confused

Should I not delete the larger files ???

That all looks fine, they aren't that big with just a 'b' at the end.

Delete those, rename the ov2 and bmp files and copy them to the SAVE directory (not pmobile at this stage) and then restart copilot. When you go to settings menu you should find the safety alert icon which will allow you to enable them.

I'm off on a job now but will check emails later

Good Luck

Well I got back home and re-installed the back up file of save that I had mad e on my PC so i'm not getting error messages on start up and also the yellow speed camera icon has come back Razz

still got no speed cameras though Crying or Very sad

I did notice that when I installed Anquet maps into my pocketpc, it needed microsoft .net cf 2.0 which I didn't have so that needed to be installed.
Would this have made a difference Question

Sorry, got a bit involved yesterday.

There is something more wrong with your setup than just the contents of your SAVE directory. Restoring your original copy would wipe out the cameras you just added. I can only suggest a hard reset and reinstall, or at least a reinstall of CoPilot.

I don't understand the Anquet maps bit, is this for off road use? I am not familiar with that software.

A hard reset will restore to factory defaults, i.e. it will uninstall any programmes and settings you have added / changed. The ROM should be unaffected. You will then have to reinstall and setup everything you want to add on. My suggestion would be to install each application in turn and try it before installing the next and so on.

Good Luck

Edit: Which XDA have you got out of interest?

They are correct in saying the process is quicker and easier from their site, but it's not updated as often as the pgpsw one, you're lucky to get one a month there, whereas sometimes you get two a month here.

Have you tried their database to see if it works?

The cameras not working are presumably because they are failing to load properly on restart. I stand by my last post (bugle ogg file?) and would think that you will have to reinstall.

Sorry.

Looked in the menu settings list and I had 2 CoPilots on there one was tickedthe other not and it wouldn't let me remove or add them to the menu list. kept saying an error message, was this the problem all along Confused

Anyway, I've done a hard reset on the XDA.
Then I put back into the XDA the memory card once it had gone through all its formalities. It then auto installed the CoPilot back in. When I started it, it asked me for the licence which I haven't got on me so I pressed cancel and I was back in.
So....... Laughing

I've done a hard reset, re-installed it and the files have been renamed. Do I go the whole hog and get rid of all them AO files........or will it give me the error again Confused

Oh, and I only have 1 CoPilot in the menu settings screen now Cool
