Hi,

My tomtom speed camera subscription ran out about 6 months ago but it appears that I can still download camera updates via Home and use them on the road.

Is this suppose to happen or am I missing something?

I've just connected via my mobile phone and downloaded a load of traffic updates as well. That subscription ran out 6 months ago as well!

Ah well, with the TomTom cameras it makes no difference, so many are out of date anyway!

Same with the traffic updates...

I subscribed this evening to Pocket GPS and downloaded the camera POIs. I wish there was an easier way to configure the POI alerts. My head hurts and I've only done 3 so far! A job for tomorrow...

Aye it is a pain but it is a once only process. You don't have to do it each update.

I was going to say... "until the TT forgets them! (a "feature" of v7 software)".
But I have to admit, it hasn't happened to me for some time now. Do we think TT have fixed it?

For what? The best IMHO is the Speed Zoned one. It takes more initial configuration and requires more space but offers the most information.

Sorry to disappoint you but it lost mine again on Friday (good to keep a spare mapsettings.cfg file on the card).
