The latest software version - which you can download for free - is 5.201
But v5.2 suffers from a feature (alleged mistake which will be corrected ion a later version) whereby you can only have 27 third-party POI categories rather than 40 in earlier versions.
The latest maps have the ability to navigate to a full UK (7 character) postcode. However, they are not free - you have to pay 70-odd Euros to upgrade. By all accounts they're not much more up-to-date than the previous version in respect of new roads etc. - so you have to decide whether you want to pay 50-odd quid for the postcodes. _________________ Roger

If you do want to upgrade the maps, you have until the end of October, as that is the TomTom deadline for the upgrade period. _________________ Richard

Where from? 5.201 is the latest "official" release
5.202 is only needed for Scaredycat's (where is he?) add-on applications and comes bundled in the zipped download from his website |

I thought I would give ScaredyCats software a go mainly for the add Speed Cams but I am unsure which files to change since there is no install program.
Can you help. _________________ TTG 300,External Aerial

Erm.. no, I can't help I'm afraid, 'cos I haven't done it myself yet!
I've been waiting for Scaredy to re-appear, so I can ask him if I can just install Quickam and not the other bits and pieces. |

Thats what I want to use but I have to install 5.202 first but how to do that I just dont know.
I have tried drag and drop but nothing seems to work.
As I dont really understand the other bits I dont see any point in installing them. _________________ TTG 300,External Aerial

That's just what I thought! And looking at all the posts on the forums, Quickam seems to work "straight out of the tin" whereas the others seem to be much more tricky to get sorted. |

Maybe try posting Here. I waded through looking for specific instructions to install V5.202 without any luck, but lots of the people posting in that thread must have got past that stage, so could tell you how to do it. |

open "copy to maps" and put contents into GB_Maps.
open catappsfix and paste contents into root of card thereby replacing the one already in there |

Can someone please tell me how what where the file named 'ttgapps 5.202' should go as it is not an EXE file or a ZIP therefore it cannot be run. _________________ TTG 300,External Aerial
