i have done that DIY thing to update the files to include all the scamera stuff... and the section does show up under "car" (although i thought it was set to go under travel) - but when you click it it says "no locations available" or something to that effect...

am i doing something wrong or have i made the disc wrong? the files must be ok cuz i had them off needforspeed

isnt there an easy way just to switch selected POIs on and off? i dont really get it all yet... i went to satnav->picked a location->instead of choosing guidance chose information->scrolled to scameras and got the above message... is this actually the way to get stuff to show up on the map or does it just display a list of them in the area for you to set as the destination?

If you've followed the instructions in the DIY, then it should work fine.

Attached are the files I have used & they work fine (assuming you are using the 2007-1 SatNavPro disc).
You will still need to build the 0099.IDX & 0100.URL files yourself & put them into the correct location in the iso image.

The POI setup in the Nav is a total pain in the ar*e- you just can't have multiple types of POIs on the screen at the same time.
You are choosing them the right way, though- through information. When you click on, say, a particular hotel, you can get more info about it, like the phone no, then you can call it up, if you have your BT phone connected.

To switch on/off the viewing of your last selected POI type, just click on the icon half way down on the left, on the Nav screen.

All the best.

hmm, i thought i tried that (pressing the "i" thing) but nothing came up, i'll have a play...

also, i thought this version (07-1) had a postcode search? if it has i cant find it

EDIT: also can i just add... i've done the update now and they all show up nice... but i changed a few of the names of the things (small things such as "Hotels and restaurants" i changed to "Hotels & Restaurants") - but these updates dont seem to have taken place for some reason... i did these updates in the eng.lsc file any idea why it didn't work?

heres a clip of the code:

Code:

TPD-CAT	7384	N  Bus Stations
TPD-CAT	7387	N  Park & Ride
TPD-CAT	7395	N  Rest Areas
TPD-CAT 9000  N  UK Speed Cameras
TPD-CAT	9101	N  Golf Clubs
TPD-CAT	9112	N  Theme Parks

capitilised a few bits and bobs etc... put a few & signs in, little things as an experiment really...

To be honest ZiM, I don't think it's really worth changing that info.

If you really want to, then have a look at step 14 of the DIY.

As well as altering the eng.lsc file, you also need to edit each of the relevant sf_ & st_ files, as shown in step 14.

eg say you want to change 'Golf clubs' to '19th hole', do this:
the TPD-CAT is 9101 (step 4)
the TPD-SEV for 9101 is 0029.idx & 0030.url (step 7)
Edit 0029.idx & 0030.url - you need to edit a total of 3 sets of 'Golf clubs' to '19th hole' in 0029.idx & 0030.url (step 14)
Finish off as shown in the DIY

This thread really belongs in the 'Audio/Video' thread &, really, should be part of this thread, however, I won't hold it against you this time ZiM!

Also, the 'i' thing will only work if you can actually see the speedcams listed in the poi information part of the nav- as you've already said- you are getting 'No information available'.
You need to make sure you have followed the instructions completely & correctly, in order to see the list of speedcams in any particular area- if you still see 'No information available', then the disc has still not been correctly edited.

All the best.

hmmm, that makes sense, but the new speed camera entry shows up as "UK Speed Cameras" whereas in those other html locations is says "Speed cameras" - so it is taking the cue from the lsc fine and not the others... no?

I used 'UK Speed Cameras' in the eng.lsc file, but just used 'Speed cameras' in the other files- I think they are used when searching through sub-categories, in the nav info menu, or when no cams can be found in a particular area.

Don't worry about it!

The category is defined under TPD-CAT in the eng.lsc

It's under 'car' because I added it to group 1001, which is categorised as 'car' on this version of the disc.

The references in the htm files are just text to display on screen.
