I have had this tomtom for 12 years although it was actually manufactured in 2000. Its still going strong. I update the maps about every 4/5 years (At £40 per year thats enough) and of course I use Pgps cameras.
I recently had to reset the TomTom and then update it. This appears to have corrupted the PGPS camera files causing the sat nav to continually warn me of redlight & gatso cameras that are not there and have never been in the locations indicated. It also fails now to warn of spects cameras.
On the 8th Feb. 2016 I downloaded and installed the current PGPS cameras but Im still having the same problems so I deleted the PGPS POI's but this did not remove the OV2 files as they are still quoted on TomTom's warning sounds screen. The screens with the bleep, boings, and chirps etc.
Please advise how to remove all the PGPS files from the sat nav so that i can download again and hopefully recover the excellent service provided by PGPS cameras again. Thank you.
If you fancy finding the ov2 files using Linux, here's how -
(its easier than it looks)
When in Linux, switch your TT on, let it start up and connect it using a USB cable.
Open the Terminal on your Linux machine
Type -
Code:
cd /
(there is a space between the d and the / ) and press return
Type -
Code:
sudo find -type f -iname *.ov2
and press return
Enter your pass word when prompted. and press return
Make your self a cup of coffee, when you return there shall be a list of all ov2 files on the TT, the SD card and Linux computer together with locations so you know where to find them. If you mount your Windows drive before opening Terminal, it shall find any ov2 files in Windows also.
Delete at will.
There are probably many other ways of doing this but this works as well as any.
EDIT - You can copy and paste the above codes into Terminal if it helps. _________________ Garmin Nuvi 2599
