Default TomTom Navigator Help

Hi,

My bro has just bought a TomTom navigator for his van. Apparently someone has told him that you can download Speed Camera locations off the net and it will alert him when he gets near one. I know nothing about these GPS systems but I'm sure you knowledable lot will

He has no PC or Internet access hence my intervention....

Cheers

You need to look for CheckPOInt - a TomTom plugin that alerts you when you approach certain configurable POIs (Points of Interest). If you also download a speed-camera POI database (seek and ye shall find), and config CheckPOInt to report on that database, you get a GPS speed camera detector from TomTom....

Easy!

Thanks for the advice. Just found out he go TomTom GO so it isnt running on a PDA. I assume that you can't do the speed camera thing unless its running an OS? On the CheckPOInt website there is no mention of it working on TomTom GO???

Thanks

You can run it on Tom Tom Go, you need to add the POI's in manually.....

Have a look on www.pocketgpsworld.com - all the info should be on there, if nowhere else its covered on the forum!
