POI-Warner is at http://www.navigating.de/

Found this to be good: www.gpsassist.net from PromaSoft as an add on and easy download to run behind TomTom. Set Speed Limits and Audible sounds against POI's etc.

Suppose they're adding the enhancement on these days or suppose it depends upon where you get the package from.

I concur with leejs_uk...no audible warnings are provided with TomTom. I may have misunderstood the previous comments as POI's are included.
So far I have found the GPSAssist [GPSRoute, GPS-POIManager etc.. modules] to be the easiest to use.

Try here Leejs_uk...................... .........like the aviator

The verbal warnings need adding via the options in checkpoint. There is a seperate d/load for the voices.

I have used CheckPoint and the UK saftey camera database on mine before (as kazam401 suggest above):
http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/uksafetycameras.php

But I found the camera database to be a bit useless - seems people have added all sorts of traffic cameras to the db (not speed cameras, just the cameras that they use to monitor traffic flow etc on motorways) plus temporary speed cameras that had sinced moved and stuff like that - I just found you got so many false alarms becuase of this it just got annoying.

I use CheckPoint on mine. Yes, there are a lot of false entries, usually for mobile speed cameras. However, you don't need to set the verbal warnings for all the camera types. It's a PITA to setup unitially, but once it's done it's done.

Hi, when you download the camera database there is a file called WAV. Copy some or all of the sounds in this folder over to your PDA and then select which ones you want for each type of camera in Checkpoint. 30 second warning / 10 second warning.

Just a quick tip. You don't have to select audible warnings for mobile cameras etc if you are not bothered about having too many warnings. Also, you can set the field which Checkpoint is looking at ahead. Think it is set at 25 degrees as standard. this can give false warnings on motorways etc as it picks up camaras on ajacent roads. You can narrow the angle to make it more directional but then run a slight risk of not picking up a camera on a bend etc. Which is worse ?
