When I go to the Fee POI download page,

I never get a list of POI categories to select,
All I ever get is


3. Select POIs (date of last update : number of POIs)

Loading POI categories (if this takes more than 1 minute please refresh selected country above)...
done refresh several times roday 20/09/08 and all I get is the above at 3.

Am I doing something wrong?

Did it twice to me just now.

However my solution to that, usually, is to use the Refresh (or Reload) in the Browser, rather than the Refresh on the page.

I am having this problem as well.

If I use the refresh in the Browser (as suggested by Oldboy) it reloads UK when I want Australia.

Anymore suggestions?

I wonder if you're leaving it for long enough. I find it takes several minutes for the categories to load, not one minute.

Hadn't thought of that scenario. Embarassed

In that case you would have to wait for the Page Refresh, rather than use the Browser method.

3. Select POIs (date of last update : number of POIs)

Loading POI categories (if this takes more than 1 minute please refresh selected country above)...
4. How should the files be created?
Separate files per subcategory
Combine subcategories into category file

Current workaround when this happens is to go to the Submit Cameras page, then use your Browser's Back button to return to the download page. This seems to do the trick most times.

I have found that if you click on the download button (while it is still saying loading...) and then the back to download section link then it refreshes quicker
