Open the iGO speedcam file (in .txt format) in Excel or a freeware alternative and save it as a .csv file. Download itnconverter ([Please Register or Login to download file] ) and let it convert the .csv to .ov2 file for TomTom.
Than test it. I cannot give any guarantee it will work, but when, you are okay.


I have converted the file but where do I put the OV2 file? does it need patching?

Well done tendriver, you have done it! this is what separates this forum from the others. You have a problem, then people come and help and share their knowledge well done and thank you ever so much. Just the OV2 file to test and I am upgraded. (I do think Igo is easier to tinker with though mind you ;)

1. In your 900.4602 map folder. You also need a .bmp icon file named the same thing as the converted ov2 file.
2. it shouldn't.

Before you get too happy, if you used nabi's igo solution, I would confirm that the alerts you get from it are real. TT didn't cut the UK data base for no reason. It appears that the UK deleted a lot of cams for budget reasons.

That would depend on the source of the database of course. T h i s o n e should be okay since Fatboyfun uses it himself and he is on the road every day for work.

I don't care what the source of the igo database is of course. TT didn't cut their UK database for no reason. It appears that the UK deleted a lot of cams for budget reasons. Any prudent person would check the accuracy of the alerts coming from a source other than TomTom. "TRUST BUT VERIFY!!"

I have been driving around testing it all and everything works and the cameras are very accurate. Thanks again I really appreciate all your hard work and advice.
