Can not get Average Speed Camera Display in CoPilot App

OK, have been trying to set up the latest version of CoPilot App to run with the PGPS APP on my newly acquired HTC One X.

As mentioned in other posts I am new to Android so do need to keep asking this excellent forum for help to get things working as I had hoped.

Have set up the PGPS App to also run the CoPilot App and that seems to work providing I have a GPS signal.

Have also loaded the OV2 DB into the CoPilot EU-Save directory on the phone as directed by AliOnHols helpful instructions, I was able to simply bulk copy the DB into then CoPilot directory rather than the 2 by 2 method Ali suggests. When firing up CoPilot it recognises the DB and icons and voice alerts are provided.

I do have one issue which I can not resolve. When running the PGPS App which then fires up CoPilot correctly and approaching an Average Speed Camera location I get the App voice and banner warning on the CoPilot screen but it then clears after a few seconds and there is no app display of actual and average speed on the screen. The app does issue repeat warnings as you drive through the Average Speed area. If I manually switch to the App display – no map – I do get the 2 speed indicators on the screen – Actual and Average.

Does anyone know if this is a simple setting I have wrong – I have tried many – or is it a feature

I am finding the CoPilot App a good Sat Nav but I am trying to reduce the number of bits of kit I have to carry in the car and having a TomTom 25 with PGPS DB which is very good and does everything I want from a Sat Nav and PGPS and also carrying my first Smart Phone which I had hoped would replace the TT is a bit of a duplication.

If it is not possible to show the Average Speed displays on CoPilot does any one using the TomTom app and PGPS app confirm that TT will display the 2 speed displays correctly on their phone

The average speed is a feature of CamerAlert and not CoPilot. So it will only show up in CamerAlert. If you have the overspeed warnings turned on in CamerAlert then you will get the alert whenever your average speed or your current speed is over the limit.

To see the CA average speed readout, you will have to pop it up in front of your other app

Thanks for the quick feedback, I am slowly beginning to understand how these apps hang together - I think.

Re popping up the CA app in front of CoPilot, I am not sure what you mean, if I am running both with Copilot mapping showing I do not get the speed readout but if I manually put the CA app on the screen then I do not get any maps but do get the 2 speed displays - is this correct

Lastly??? - Re. the average spped warnings - when using my TomTom25 with the PGPS DB I do get the current and average speed warmings on the screen. Is this a function of the TomTom or PGPS, and would using the TomTom app with the PGPS DB and the CA app also give both the speed displays on the phone or would I have the same issue as with the CoPilot app.

Thanks guys, think I understand now, guess I was expecting to much functionality from Android Apps.

Ali your suggestion seems the best way to use the combination of Apps, i will see if I can live with that or just go back to the TT25.
