Anyone know how to enable the speeding alrts in TomTom Mobile 6 i.e on a Nokia N73.

I have installed the camera database and setup the POI's to alert when near camera's. but the spec for Mobile 6 also mentions speed alerts :

Speeding alert: Alerts you that you’re speeding, even if you're not in navigation mode.


I can't see where or how to configure these....

Sorry I cant really help you but is there any chance you can send me a copy of the speeding alerts or at least a link of where to find it?

Cheers

PocketGPSWorld.com Speed Camera Database Version 5.042 5th April 2007
10,741 verified cameras in the database and 1,160 unverified mobile sites (total combined: 11,901). 3,874 Gatso/Monitron/Truvelo, 5,627 Mobiles, 20 Temporary, 218 Specs and 1,002 Redlight Cameras.
We have had a total of 28 verified static cameras added this release
Each file covers all of the speed cameras, so only use one of them depending on how much information you want.

The ZONED cameras are split up into different camera groups - Gatso, Mobile, Redlight, Specs & Temp - and then these groups are split up again into the various different speed limits - 20mph, 30, 40, 50, 60 & 70 - except for the Redlight cameras.

The CONSOLIDATED cameras are just split up into the different camera groups Gatso, Mobile, Redlight, Specs & Temp - so just one file for each group.

The SINGLE cameras has only one file which covers all of the cameras.

Also included are the Europe Single File speed cameras.

How to upload the Speed Cameras :-
Extract the contents from whichever file you decide to use, then copy all the .OV2 and .BMP files and paste them into the map folder on your memory card.

I know about the cameras as I have these setup and to warn as I approach.
but Tomtom Mobile 6 states it can warn you when you are speeding even when not navigating. this appears to be seperate to the speed camera setup.

I assume this means it knows what the limit is for the road you are on and flashes up some visual or audio warning. I also assume you would be able to enable/disable this and also set your own limits.

Dont know if its any good to you but if you download the " silent voice " file this will still give spoken camera warnings etc but wont bother you with the actual turn left / turn right etc spoken directions.

cant say I have ever heard off speed alerts apart from on the other gps type units ie. snooper etc
