Tomtom Australia Poi

[Downunder35m]

Easy Activator is not really DOS like - it runs like a normal Windows program...

[hollowman]

i must have been living under a rock, i have not seen that tool before lol - looks good
thanks for that...

[hollowman]

I put all the pois in my map folder that i got from downunder/puca (it takes ages for tomtom to load up lol) they seem to be working, however i think they are conflicting with my existing/default poi's, puca's poi's fit my screen nicely, but my original poi's icons are to big in the selection menu.

Also on the map screen, some poi icons are just red but i think that happens coz my device does not draw the icon properly when i move the screen around, I'm using a screen res of 320x240..... (the default icons are too big on the map as well. see images





look at my screen shot

On another note, sorry if its off topic, but i used the easy activator for the Safety_Cam_AU_TomTom.ov2 and placed the dct file in the map folder as required. But how do i know the cameras are activated ?

Drive past a speed camera at 200kph...

sorry, i know it doesnt help but i couldn't resist....

[hollowman]

LMAO, that was funny !

[vinnie05]

For me i went into the TomTom Traffic menu on the first menu page and there is a menu for safety cameras. I guess if you do a simulation trip past where you know a fixed speed camera is located it may show up there too...

edit: the menu could be 'tomtom services' sorry i don't have it in front of me.

[hollowman]

when i go to tomtom services, then safety cameras - im not able to update the safety cameras as it asks for a username and password.
tomtom traffic, it says subscription has expired.

is there anything i can do ?

I guess that means it is not patched properly, not 100% sure thou..

[Downunder35m]

You won't be able to update the cams through the Tomtom services unless you have paid for a suscription!
If you need the latest cams download them with Keygen3.1G and copy the two file for Australia into your mapfolder.
If you had activated the cams before they will work straight away otherwise you have to activate them with the keaygen.

[hollowman]

thanks downunder, only problem with KG_v3.1F or G is that it wont let me access the keygen app without a tomtom device... it gives error saying "connect tomtom device" retry / cancel....

[Downunder35m]

Well ,what do you expect?
That is they way the keygen works!
No need to copy any files ,everything is patched/activated on your device ....

[hollowman]

Well ,what do you expect?
....

I was not expecting anything ? I was just pointing out that "I" cant download the new speed cams from that keygen coz i dont have a tomtom pna, thats all.... i do realise that's the way the keygen works.

Sorry If I upset you...

[Downunder35m]

You did not upset me !
I was just pointing out the fact the keygen works that way - maybe I coose the wrong words!
Do you have a card reader?
If so you could use the device id and serial number of your Navigator.bif on it to "fool" the Keygen
I can give you further instructions if you need!?
But I can simply upload the new cams as well...

[hollowman]

it worked by placing the Navigator and map folder to the root of an SD card (with sd card reader) and the bif file in the root, like u said, yeah i tricked it. I was going to do that, but i didnt think it will work so i didnt want to waste my time.. thanks for that.

I pressed the speed cam download button, it says "successfully downloaded check your speed cam folder", (it creates X:\KG_v3.1F\SpeedCams\World_TomTom)
but there is nothing in there ?

I did have both options unticked (override and update)

is this the latest speed cam ? (got it from Safety_Cam_AU_TomTomOv2.ver)

[Description]
ID=Safety_Cam_AU_TomTom
Version=3562
rectangle=-11843819,3916151,15354837,-4286499
subtype=safetycamera

my Safety_Cam_AU_TomTom.ov2 is 22.8kb

EDIT: additionally, when i go to backup DCT's, it creates a DCT folder but nothing in it...

Im more concerned about the speed cams really...

[Downunder35m]

The latest is the 3806 ,Please use Keygen3.1G ,it will download the files correctly.
Search for "latest tools" and use my username then you will find it easily!

[hollowman]

3.1G didn't work, it gives me an error "There was an error downloading the speedcams files try again!"

hmmm

[Downunder35m]

Had that myself several times - please check your firewall settings and try again later.
The server used is not always online!

[hollowman]

yep it worked now... got the speed cam files. ill update when i get back from work. thanks

EDIT: ok it appears to be working, i put the speed cams in and its now showing one that was not there before.
I have not driven with it yet, but i think it should be ok... thanks or your help

I downloaded 73 POI categories from ,they are all in the Tomtom ov2 format.
If you need POI's for a different GPS system go to the website and download them for your device - almost all GPS brands are available!

There are 73 archives in there ,unpack the file you want to the map folder of your device.
The pack includes ,bank branches ,speed and red light cameras ,public toilets, holiday parks ,7eleven and so on ...

[hollowman]
