| TrafCam for TomTom Go |
|---|
| 20-11-2008 | Release: Version 1.15 of the Control Centre is now
available for download. This will display the "Renew" button earlier than the previous
version so customers can renew prior to expiry date. It will also check and prompt if a new version
of the Control Centre software is available. |
| 03-11-2008 | Release: Version 1.07, fixed an issue which may have
prevented the new menu icons from displaying if the user is still on the old control centre software. |
| 08-09-2008 | Release: New control centre available, fixes a possible
issue which would have prevented TrafCam's additional menu icons from displaying, possibly even
leading to the program failing to warn at all. |

on-device control for some features, new position tracking feature. |
| 03-09-2008 | Release: New control centre available, allows control of new

files from the device to a folder on the users PC, also to convert log files into "kml"
files used by Google Earth. |
| 10-03-2008 | Added some overspeed options to the on-device program, to allow
the user to choose where the speed-sensitive warnings cut off: user can choose (via the PC control
centre) (a) exact speed, (b) speed plus a percentage, (c) speed plus a fixed margin, (d) speed plus
10 percent plus 4mph. |
