PDA Camera Overlay

[ledaig]

First off apologies for posting this question, but in my defence the search facility isn’t working for me.

Can someone please recommend the best overlay for tomtom on a pda?
Google throws up various options, but I would like to have some recommendations behind the one I decide to use from the knowledgeable folk on PH.

Free would be good, but I would not mind paying a few quid if it means a more up to date database.

Thanks,
Steve

Yep use that with the POI Warner. Works very well

TT5 for the Pocket PC includes the ability to warn about POI's, works very nicely indeed when used with the pocketgps/poiplace overlays...

It works, but frankly it's a bit pants by comparison with CheckPOInt , which no longer works with TT5.

Anyone know how to reduce the volume of the audible speed camera alert? I swear its giving me tinnitus.

Thanks for the shove in the right direction.
I put this on last night before a trip from Cambridge to Teeside and back - worked very nicely and told me where all the blackspots are (even the ones without a scamera at that point)

I thought the same and was pleased to see that there is a version of CheckPOint for TT5, it works great.

Thanks for the heads up - I shall seek it out.

Am I being thick

New to this Pocket PC stuff - I have an Orange M500 (xda mini, I-mate jam) with TomTom 5 on Windows 2003CE.

Which camera overlay is right for me?

The .zip contains the file 'Which files should I use.txt' I'd read that if I were you

[Mr E]

Chaps. Are these files as good and accurate as the Origin/RoadAngel DBs?

Never used Origin or Road angle so can't offer a comparative but the pocketgps db is very good, worst errors I've seen have been by a matter of yards, and have never come across a camera not in the db (of course I haven't driven every road in the UK so YMMV)

Thanks boss. Worth a look then.

I was considering the new Road Angel SatNav/GPS detector, but it's not cheap and a natch inflexible. TomTom with an overlay seems like a plan.

The B2 has broken it's cradle *again* and I've basically had enough.
