Howdy, thanks for your comments. The voices have always been on my device from day one. It's the latest  v9.4 that has upset the apple cart

[Wyvern46]

Has anyone else noticed that you cannot now set a warning time for the TT safety cameras? If this is the case does anyone know the default time? I only use a few of the less frequent warnings, and have not tested in real time.

Edit: From experimenting with a redlight camera, I estimate the default delay at 15 secs.

I have upgraded my GO 750 (not Live!) so I do not have all the Live's problems...

But me too I would like to express my opinion:

Pros:

1. The auto power on when the unit is power connected has been removed (was added by v9.061),
2. The file restart.dat updated with date/time each time the unit is connected via USB has been removed,

Cons:

1. each time I power up the unit after a pc connection I get the "Legal adevice" that must be accepted to go on... really annoying!
2. POI's icon rendering has been messed up again... the info from the official SDK (unless updated right now!) are useless, icon with 22x22 size are shown like this
   
   It seems like the icons must now be at least 24x24 to be shown correctly!!
   I have replaced all my standard 22x22 icons with their respective _X2 (44x44) and now they looks good
   

Question is, will TomTom ever update the SDK or at least create a FAQ explaining one for all size and color depth requested for POI's icons?

"1. each time I power up the unit after a pc connection I get the "Legal adevice" that must be accepted to go on... really annoying! "

I completely agree with this, that's terribly annoying!

What also irks me is that big and ugly "report speed cam" icon on the left side of the screen. I asked here how to hide/inactivate it, but got no reasonable reply. Guess this means it is not possible and they feel we should be happy with what they decide for us...

I may be wrong but that icon is not for reporting a speedcam but the actual speed limit on the road! I do not have any Live services nor I use TT's speedcams pois, but I do have the icon. Actually it's written on the navcore history page and into the opening post too:
"...and a clearer indication of the speed limit..."

@fof you can remove the 'Report Camera' button like this:

Non-LIVE devices:
Tap on the screen -> TomTom Services -> Speed Cameras -> Disable report button.

LIVE devices:
Tap on the screen -> LIVE services -> Speed Cameras -> Disable report button.

@Giangi - the button on the screen is for reporting speed cameras. The one you see on the statusbar is the speed limit.

I hope this helps

Edited for clarity.

Understood! What about the other problems? Will be reported to the developers?

Btw, on the official TT history page is reported that sending/receving via bluetooth has been removed; on my Go750 is still working perfectly! Actually it's not one of the most usefull function (at least not for me) so if someday will really be removed won't be a problem...

@Giangi - All the issues you guys are reporting here in the thread and elsewhere on the forum are being forwarded for investigation

"@fof you can remove the 'Report Camera' button like this:

NO! There is no such thing in the devices with "simplified menus" that Tomtom is selling now. I have a XL (model 4ET03), for example. How can the button be removed on this device?

[Ditte]

@fof - if you have the simplified menu, you need to completely disable the safety alerts before the report camera button goes away.
