Safety Camera Alert Not Working

[bigbadphil]

I got my TomTom One XL around 2 years ago. When I got it, it played an alert when I was approaching a speed camera. After a few updates, it stopped alerting me and just displayed it on the screen. So unless I was stairing at the device I wouldnt know the camera was there till I was pretty much next to it.

How do I get the sound to come back on please? I have tried everything

I have no backups from when I first had it as I just update it every so often and off I go.

Thanks

There is a bug in the latest application that kills the functionality, I believe.........

That said, if I were you, I'd forget about TomToms camera database entirely and subscribe to a database that is: current, accurate, and has many other features.

The one I'm referring to is the subscription at pocketgpsworld.com. For more information, see the information here.

If I lived in the UK, I'd subscribe in a heartbeat.

Bummer!! I dont use it that much to warrant paying ?20 to get it. There is no other way of getting it back?

UK based supermod, Mikealder, will no doubt see this thread and may report in within 24 hours. Stay posted.

Go to TomTom Plus services/ Safety Cameras and configure your alerts in this section, TomTom changed the way this worked quite some time ago, although if your database is that old I certainly wouldn't be trusting it when driving and the Mobile Speed Camera locations are a very rare warning indeed - Mike

Thanks mike. Never even thought to try to go into TomTom services menu. Its common sense really lol. I got into the menu and set a sound to play when approaching a camera. Now to test it. It seemed when I initially went into the setting, it already had a sound set for it. I changed it, i'll see if it plays it for me next time I am out

Thanks again.
