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

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!

er... yes read my last post :roll:
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.

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.
I successfully installed the i-nigma reader on my Mogul and it SEEMS to work but after opening the camera and snapping the pic, nothing comes from it. Has anyone got the reader to work on their Mogul?
i-nigma.com if you are wondering what I'm talking about
I was playing with a business card OCR program and that didn't work with my Mogul because the camera can't focus well enough on something that close. The issue you're seeing is probably the same...
Anyone know if its possible to make the clarity of "macro focus" pictures better?

Since the phone is 2mpix, you're probably better off holding it far away and using the digital zoom to enlarge the area to scan. If the lens can focus, 2mpix is more than enough to zoom in on just the card before losing clarity.
The i-nigma should work on your Mogul

Hi dragon_76
I'm part of the developing group of 3GVision, who develop the i-nigma. On Sep 07 the i-nigma application didn't work on windows Mobile 6 devices. From Oct 07, we started support WM6. Please go to www.i-nigma.com and install the new version, it should work now. Please feel free to email me impression.
Thanks
Eran
No need to snap with the i-nigma
The i-nigma work as scanner, there is no need to snap anything, just put the barcode in front of the camera and it will scanned automatically
i installed i-nigma on my wm6 t-mobile vario II.
It works fine, but the camera is flipped making it difficult to aim, (ie left is right and right is left, when in landscape. In portrait the image is upside down and up is down and down is up)
Anyone got this? and also, is there anythnig else on the site, all i get is the install link (when browsing via pda, work blocks the site via pc) could do with a help section, or FAQ.
Regards

What he said, I've had it on my phone for well over a month and it works fine without any problems. You don't have to take a picture of anything, it read the bar code as soon as it is in view.
It's a version issue. I had 1.26 installed, from my 6700 switch, but it was always buggy, often needing multiple soft resets, so installed v1.40, but have the same issue as the first post.
yup, 1.26 works on my mogul 2.17rom.

I Installed I-nigma on my mogul. Interesting program, nice to have. scans and decodes really quick. however i had the same "backward" issue. But u can fix it by editing the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3GVisionInigma\i-nigma\option
"PreviewDirection_31" = 0
change 0 to 2
it will fix the backwards camera. However it won't fix the landscape issue cuz the program wasn't design to operate in landscape mode, the camera preview won't rotate.
It's really worth keeping now.

i wouldn't second this. adding a contact with quickmark resulted in a "," behind the name and a "h" behind the number.
i-nigma does add the contact on a right way.
Re: use back camera
i am using o2 flame, can i-nigma support back camera ?
This appears to be a free video search/downloader & player. It works well on my ameo, and is free.
Does anyone know if there's a catch somewhere? It's almost too good to be true.

How come that it works well on your Ameo? Most of cases you need to have flash player 8 at least. Did you install it somehow?

i've got fp7 and the flashvideo bundle installed, neither of which are listed as needed. All I did was install the cab of that site.
seems a few others like it as well

Thank you for bringing our attention to this program. It works wonderfully on my 8125. So far I have not had any problems and I'm not that great when it comes to computers. Guys, you all have really educated me. I'm on this site daily.
Can you post the cab? I've requested it twice from the website but i don't get the text message.

This was the only thing I installed yesterday and I did a soft reset in the evening and it would not accept my password. I'm just doing a hard reset now.
I use a simple 4 digit PIN and it has always worked before but I just got
'The password you have typed is incorrect'
it took a long time to take a password at all and was getting a countdown timer above the password entry keys on the screen which I don't remember seeing before as well.
I don't know if it was anything to do with this app - has anyone else had problems?
Thanks

Because at the time you installed it you already had 7 items in your start menu. It is configured to put the shortcut in start menu, but your had maximum number already
I have re-installed vTap and love it - no problems since I installed again so don't think my problems were down to vTap.
It is a truly useful app!

there is no word about be able to do webcamera on a windows pc with the phone... sorry orb live wont do it
i would like to use the nexus one as a webcamera for my laptop and viewing webcams on the n1...
I've done it with orb... no problem.
Make sure you set up their latest edition and use it through the web browser. Their app sucks... through the browser its free
I can see how you can use a PC Webcam and bring it to the N1 using this software, but I really don't see how to do the opposite.
How do I use the N1 as the webcam that's viewable on a PC?
qik anybody?
aad4321 said:
google it. i know there is a dev out there who has a working on on 1.6. He hasent done 2.1 yet because he does not have a N1 to test with. currently i do not believe their is an app or way to do this yet

I have "googled it". What search terms would you suggest to get some relavent results? When I do searches I typically end up with two hits that at first seem like they might be useful. The first goes to google's forum and is worthless... the next one links to this very thread.
Two different people here have said they've done it with orb... it's pretty reasonable to ask them how they did it since doing searches on orb's site don't give anything fruitful.

Why do you keep posting off topic?
Let's start over and read the question being asked and see if there's a solution.
We all know that Orb will let you stream a webcam that's connected TO YOUR PC to your phone.
That is NOT what we're trying to accomplish.
We'd like to be able to (as the thread states) "N1 using as a webcam" Use the N1's built in camera to stream live video to another place.
I would like to be able to set the phone down, aim it's camera at something and then have someone else... PC across the planet... whatever... be able to see what the phone is aimed at.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Now that's what I'm talkin about. Good find. Will try out and report back.
*edit* This must have been removed from the market. I even went to the publisher's page on the phone and clicked the market link they have there and it takes you to a "no matches" page... boo...
do you still have the 0.4 apk?

I do. I'll rip it when I get home if I remember, but you'll also need a software client on the PC side which I do not have.

Yea, that's the point I'm at... I wonder why they took it down.
The only issue I'm seeing is that they say it only gets 3fps... that ... kinda sucks.
*edit* and thanks for grabbin the apk off your phone later.. I appreciate it.
Another issue I'm having, and maybe it's just because I don't have it attached to a computer yet, but everything is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise on my n1 and a portion of the bottom mirrors the image.
like the title says...whats a good barcode reader app for our phone that works, i have the at&t tilt2 ..

you need good lighting and focus from the camera. It works well for me on my tilt 2.
mobile tag doesn't work consistently for me. so I wouldn't think its much of any use. I have a tilt 2.
has anyone tried Barcorama on the tilt2?
i give mobiletag a 3.0
i have a Tilt2 (TouchPro2/Rhodium)
I tried it on various items in the kitchen....only was able to get a good read on a can of black pepper...
it doesn't seem to work well with the camera device... poor focus ability
The camera on the Tilt2 is a good one so I do not think the poor performance of this app is due to the hardware.....I'm leaning towards the software's use of the hardware....
but whattaya expect for free, right??
imho
camera
The camera is good on the tp2. the problem is usually the back cover has a little cheap piece of plastic take off the back cover and try it. than try cleaning the dust off the plastic lens.
i use i-nigma....so i have the best results with it....its free too, just do a quick search on google, youll find it
+1 for i-nigma

Forbidden Error
I have HTC Tilt2 with mobiletag. Mobiletag reads the barcode and trys to open the link but no matter if I use IE or Opera10 I get this error.
Anyone? Angelica
Solution to getting it to use the HTC TP2/TILT 2 camera PERFECTLY:
Do NOT select HTC TOUCH PRO 2 as the device. Select TOUCH HD 2 as the device.
Instead of just showing the out of focus/ugly camera view that you had when the TP2 selected, you'll get a screen that says "Click here to start scanning. (Then shoot the barcode by placing it in the middle of the screen.)"
Once you do that the TP2/TILT2 camera software takes over. Get it focused and take the picture like normal (only in portrait mode though). It immediately grabbed the bar code and returned results.
If you selected TP2 and checked "remember this device" the only way I found to un-remember is to uninstall and reinstall. I didn't check the remember box and tried TP2, TP, HD and HD2 and the HD2 was the winner

I have tried them all and mobiletag i think is the best
how about one where you can change the destination of the output data so i can port that info into a database app or webform? Would make inventory snazzy at work if i could use my phone i know motorola has an app on there EDA devices but thats enterprise level stuff.
