Ah OK, there's some beginners guides on the main download page that should explain all about the different database options.
Briefly you have a .csv data file and a .bmp icon file for each camera file, and you either get a couple of them in the all-in-one download, half a dozen in the "consolidated by type" (each type of camera has its own file so you can have different warnings, or LOTS in the full "speed-zoned" set (so you can have a warning that tells you what speed you should be doing.

Are you vaguely computer literate, and able to move files from one place to another?

I think I see the confusion....
Follow the steps in Mike's first post in that link I gave BUT IGNORE where he puts file numbers, as more caregories have been added since that was written.
There are now 32 .csv data files, and 32 .bmp icon files, which you need to copy.

If you go through Mike's steps but still have problems, tell us exactly where you lose the plot.

if it has european maps then i would guess you will need to put the files into the european folder?

i've never used route66 other than demo's at trade fairs so can't really comment...!

I don't know Route 66 specifically either, but if the instructions said to put the files in a "Britain" folder but you have "European"maps, then put the files straight into whatever your map folder is called, NOT inside a folder inside that one.

With so many satnavs around and updates all the time, it is almost impossible to keep instructions for every unit entirely up to date.
For example, with a TomTom aside from the obvious differences between the map folder names for UK and Europe versions, just about every map release has a SLIGHTLY different folder name than the last ("Western_Europe", WesternEurope" "W+C_Europe" sort of thing), so you can't be too specific.

I will write up a full answer to this when I get home and have access to the PC unless you get it sorted first, its a tad difficult using just the phone - Mike
