TOMTOM3 Speed Camera Warning

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is any freeware version of speed camera warning software for the UK, compatible with TOMTOM3. I know its a longshot but what the hell!
Anyway if not, what is the cheapest/best one available.
Your experiences please.
Thanks

Hi,
This one works fine.

Not tried it until now, but i'm nearly 100% sure, that they are available via synchronisation. It workes fine for me. You can not download them manualy and install them to your device. You have to synchronize the,. So you're able to keep them easy uptodate.
Try it out. It's for free.
Stefan

Are you saying that download comes with them?? Ie the UK ones?

Try www.pocketgps.co.uk, click on speed cameras on the left and you'll get to a database of all UK cameras. I use it with POIWarner, which was very cheap and very good

Anyone know where you can get free POI's from? I know, I'm a cheapskate.
Sorry, Gotta feed the kids!

I NEED to do this...
Don't speed, so you don't need a warner ;-)
I know, this help's a lot.

I completely agree with you.
I have been driving for 10 years. No points and no collisions! Thank God!
However, i frequently have to drive late at night , when the roads are empty. Sometimes I may go 35 when the speed is 30!
A warning system would be good!

CheckPOInt works fine and does cover UK speed cameras/traffic light cameras/section cameras, etc

Thanks. How Extensive is their database?

Pretty good i think (personally). I used to have a snooper S6-r neo and pay for the updates and that wasn't better!

We have a little over 3000 camera sites plus red light cameras and mobile locations.
Unlike the majority of other Safety Camera databases we still maintain a human input to weed out duplicates and erronous submissions.
The actual number of camera locations in the UK has never been revealed, it was rumoured to be 5000 but I'm reliably told that it's nearer 4000 physival locations with mobile sites making up the remainder.

Freelockuk Thanks for that .
Griffog, sorry, its probably my fault for raising this post. Unfortunately I am not a moderator and hence cannot remove it ,thought I already found it and did download it from your website yesterday.
While you are here... :wink: On the site it says,
"Email us either your OV2 file or ASC file and we will work out which cameras we don't have and which cameras we do have. Please be careful when adding cameras not to add false ones"
How do I actually update the ov2 file. I am running TT3 with Checkpoint.
There is a new Truvelo round the corner from me and would like to add it in the database.
regards

Slight OT/OT but just to say thanks for that database, and all the work that goes with it

Yes, I agree. Thanks a lot for all the hard work.

Uploading GPS Info

Hi There
Ive tried searching high and low for this type of feature and I cannot find anything. Let me explain..
What I want to do is on my Pocket PC with a GPS unit, is basically have a program running that grabs the Long/Lat data from the GPS at a specified time interval (say every 60 mins) and uploads that to a website or FTP via GPRS.
What I plan to do on the website side of things is to have the website read from that data and load Google Maps to show where the person is!
Anyone already know a program to do this kind of thing?
Thanks in advance
Gary

Hi
I have made a program that will get the gps pos of a device and send it back to a pc via SMS it can send it to a server over gprs.

pjcltd is there any chance of a copy of the program.
Darthgus, hers a laptop solution, I am sure there is a pocket pc solution somewhere.
http://conversationswithmyself.com/maps/tracker/gmapTracker.html

GPS
Try www.pocketpccreations.com
I have used it to get the location of an operator when tacking data. I have not tried to run a timer it get the data when a user clicks the button. You have to add the gps custom point.
Let me know if you need any further info.

Heh, thats exactly the sort of thing but with Pocket PC. I wanted to get the POS to a website, then use the API of Google maps to show the position.

Yea, Im not really wanting to run a program like that to do it, basically I just want something sitting in the background dropping the GPS point every x mins or x hrs type thing to a website/ftp.

We use this for our workers on the road. They send back positions every 10 seconds via their XDA & we track them on maps in the office.
However, it's part of a larger 2-way data app.

Cool will be good to have a look at, but not much use without some code or whatever as I dont want to send sms's but upload the data to a http/ftp site.

I look forward to testing this program. How do we get the unlimited version if we find it useful?

Have a look at http://www.tvwebradio.com/findme2/forum

Has the program been posted :?:

what is it like then?

As some of you have had the exec delivered whats your verdict?
I have the 11s and i am considering upgrading.
The 11s is about as bulkly as i would want to go and i know the exec is slightly larger and heavier but until you have it in your hand you cant really tell.
The 11s has a anoyingly quit ring tones and the vibrate is not much better.
So please post your thiughts.
Clive

oops
meant this for the existing thread sorry

Why don't you delete it then?
Btw..
Roman numerals uses the letter "I", not the number "1"..
It's "IIs" not "11s"..

how
dont know how to delete it
if i did i would have
remember we all start somewhere thats how the whole thing works if it was only for smart asses then it would not be required

I just upgraded to an XDA Exec from a IIs and I love it. Sure it is buliker than the IIs, which was big enoguh with a decent case, but the extra things you can do with it more than make up for it. The VGA screen is crystal clear, the stereo speakers and proper headphne socket, video calling, 3g internet browsing, proper keyboard... There are quite a few people here who think it is a disappointment, and yes, there are a few bugs and niggles, but overall I am really pleased with mine.

I got mine last week and its well cool. what a nice bit of kit. I'm finding it more easy to use than my xda2s, I've even been using pocket putty at work doin admin network stuff (just showing off), its like a second screen! lol. I'm even on it now replyin! I couldn't go back!
well I've had my say
I give it 10/10.

Out of interest, what is Pocket Putty? Just googled it and was none the wiser as to what it does! Sorry for my ignorance!

PuTTy is an SSH Client used to connect to Unix/Linux based servers running an SSH Server. Pocket PuTTy is Putty for your pocket pc . I use it all the time.

100% agree. In a few years many companies will build devices like this.
Why did we have to wait so long for WMdevices with a keyboard?

well arrived today but i had to work late so just finished looking at it.
It looks great not as large as i thought either.

Nevo remote..

Hi.. i've installed on my magician the nevo remote 2.0... I can't make it work.. i don't know my devices codes and i don't find them anywhere.. I also don't know f my infrared port is working because i dont knowe if i have to activate or do anything....;P Please someone help me.. Many thanks

make sure you tick "Receive all incoming beam' from SETTING > CONNECTIONS > BEAM
read 'Readme' or user guide.
alternatively, try Novii Remote Deluxe (i'm using it')
(p/s : i've tried both but i think Novii is better)

+ 1. IMO it's much better.

What distance does the infrared beam work? I once had a Ipaq 2210 which had a stronger infrared beam so it could work over more than 5 meters distance.

very bad...only works at 1-2 meters. anyone how to "upgrade" the beam?

I've recently upgraded to qtek 9100, and got a distance of 6 meters with Noviiremote. Maybe it's larger, but I have a wall against my back.
But you have to point at the TV.

Can you run SPB benchmark so i can compare the proccessor to my XDAIIi. Would love to see how well it preforms next to my over-clocked machine. After more than 18month differance i'm hoping the TYTN performs well!
cheers!

IT CAMEEEEE FROM EBAYYYY (a little somethinf for ATOS fans) Sure I can benchmark it, let me know what program you want me to use.

I would be v interested in some battery tests - compared against the wizard if poss. Seen v little info on this so far.

What provider do you have? Also does the 3G work on that provider? Also what speed do you get on previously mentioned connection?

Run the SPB benchmark, and give me the values, so I can have another graph that has Charmer, Magician and others. See example here

Anyone know where I can get Wizard SPB benchmarking results?

I have Cingular, I don't get a signal in my house. I only get UMTS down the road. I did go somewhere earlier and I did get a UMTS signal, and I only had a chance to open IE and browse to google.com. It was much faster than the wizard. I will run speed tests when I go to my girlfriends in about 2 hours.

Band Tab?
Could you check if you have this Band Selection Tab in Phone Settings. I have been searching for the registry details of HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting
Would you please do me this favor posting the registry details of the above entry
My device has ShowTimeZonesPage and ShowPIN2Page only. I wonder if yours does anything else. Still working on adding this Band Selection TAB.
Thank you in advance!

I do have the band selection tab. Here is the registry export from that key.

Band Tab
Many thanks!!! You are the best. I tried to copy your settings and my phone (Cingular 8125 with Dopod 838 ROM) accepted them. Sure thing my model has no guts to support UMTS etc, however I've got these long awaited and "all-the-websites-and-forums" searched settings in place. Having tested my Cingular SIM on manual network type switching (GSM/WCDMA/UMTS/AUTO resulted in default of AUTO net pickup. Soon after I open the Band Tab all visible selections go transparent. Well there got to be something else that holds this selection in Auto intstead of for instance GSM only. Despite all this and that I am happy to have the TAB.
Thanks again!!!

All of them would be good, but I guess that you can skip the battery test as it may take forever. Other benchmarking can be all done less than 2 hours. It would be nice if you can hardreset your device to avoid having other applications hogging the resources.

It would be super to see what inside of the HTC is hidden. I would love to compare your new HTC reg key to the previous HTC Wizard. If it is not too much asking would you post this one: HKLM\Software\HTC
Thank you!

Hi!
For your info, everything is already been tested here!

But there are lots of review about TYTN, if you want to read them, please join my group HTC TYTN at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TYTN/

Okay I got a chance to run some UMTS speetests from broadbandreports.com mobile ste. I ran four tests o the 1MB test here were the results in order:
343 kbits/sec
887 kbits/sec
887 kbits/sec
832 kbits/sec
I had 1 bar of reception.
