How can I import and use POIs into Autovelox Plus?
The procedure is very simple and very well explained in our Tutorial

The application does not acquire a valid GPS signal, what should I do?
It's a well known problem of the iPhone's GPS receiver, in order to resolve this problem please try the following:

• Be sure you are outside, iPhone's GPS won't work into a tunner or a parking.
• If you are into your car, the best place for your iPhone is below the windshield, on the dashboard or locked to a support.
• In iPhone's Settings try to disable the GPS localization service and then re-enable it after a few seconds.
• If the problem is still there try to rebbot your iPhone.

Can i switch from miles to kilometers and vice-versa?
Sure. Just go into the settings and from the section named "Metric system" select "Metric" for kilometers and "Imperial" for miles.

After importing some Points of Interest, I sometimes see a question mark instead of the speed limit value: what does this mean?
You have imported some POIs that don't have the information about the speed limit, so Autovelox Plus can't tell you if you are in danger and it shows a question mark. It these situation try to reduce the speed of your vehicle as much as you can.

I tried to import some POIs but i can't connect to the server at http://192.168.1.158:8080
The address http://192.168.1.158:8080 is an example. The import procedure does not use any server, it just connects your PC with your iPhone. The address you have to use is showed on the screen of your iPhone after you pressed the green button.

Does Autovelox Plus require an internet connection via Wi-Fi or 3g to work properly?
Absolutely no. Internet connectivity can be required sometimes when Autovelox Plus needs to download a portion of the map but all the features of alert, import and configuration are completely network-independent.

Where can I find POIs to load into Autovelox Plus?
Everywhere! The internet is full of sites where you can find all sorts of points of interest. This site holds a list of websites where you can find a lot of high quality points of interest, you can view the list at here.

Can i use Autovelox Plus with other GPS based applications on my iPhone?e?
Unfortunately no. iPhone allows you to only run one application at once with an exception for the phone, sms and email applications.

- Which Points of Interest can I view on the map?
The map shows you all the Points of Interest which are enabled in a range of 30 km from your position. You can tap a POI to view its details such as name, address, etc.
