'Route 66' UK 2005 GPS for Nokia Mobiles...
 

I've just bought 'Route 66' Mobile Britain 2005 for my Nokia - great bit of software :!:

Does anyone know/does anyone have the speed camera software that is compatible with it :?: Also does anyone have the European maps for it too, that they'd perhaps like to e-mail me :?: :-$ :wink: 8-[

Can your UK speed camera databases be used with this?

Hi,

First post...

As subject states,

I would like to get Speed Camera POI on my route66 mobile, even better with a display of the speed limits...

Is this at all possible?

Thanks.

route66 at the moment DON`T support POI

so simple answer is no ya can`t use the speed camera database with route66

it is rumoured that route66 may in future give a update supporting POI

I emailed them, and their reply seemed to suggest they had no intention of putting speed cameras in - though if enough potential customers email them then they might reconsider.

As a thought I wonder if anyone has had a look at their software for the installed POIs with the intention of 'replacing' a certain type of POI with the speed cam database?

If you are using an A1000, then use nhgps with speed camera database loaded in that.

Route 66 uses the external gps and nhgps uses the internal one.

Start nhgps (www.nhgps.com) first, get a fix and you are off. You do not need any maps loaded, just the speed camera database (www.think3g.net)

Then start Route 66 and navigate your route.

Route 66 will give voice and visual route directions whilst nhgps gives verbal speed camera warnings.

Pretty clever eh!

...but with a p910i, I'm out of luck?

Which software does, POIs, TMC, up-to-date maps and 3D views?

Just found another way around it I think...

Using nhGPS and the thing3G Speed camera database (as explained here...) Worth a try I suppose :?: :?

yeah its half way down that thread i posted so no to route 66 but yes to a possible workround :P :lol:

Bleedin' software doesn't work on my phone :roll:
