I upload the whole zip file, it obviously worked the very first time I loaded it 18 months ago, it was only recently I reported the speed change of that local camera but it hadn't changed on my device that I was alerted to it. I havnt done any thing different, as you cant tell which file you have on your device I will be forever wondering

That functionality (reading text files) hasn't been in any TomTom model for about five years or so!

@ bmuskett & M8TJT

I'm sure that you're aware that there's a copyright notice, introduced, I think, as part of the anti-piracy measures, contained in each downloaded file (I've just checked and it is included in the MyTomTom Zip). That could be changed to include the date or the version number!

as the installation guide, download the whole zip file then in Mydrive add content to pois browse find file on PC then click install, surely if I was doing something wrong it would never have uploaded, surely I cant be the only one having problems, but the only reason I found out was that the camera I submitted hadn't changed after a few month, how many folks are updating without knowing if it has worked or not, Mydrive doesn't tell you it is writing over old files, it just says`UPDATING PLEASE WAIT`

I always delete the zip file from my PC after uploading to my TT so I wont be uploading old files, anita how do you know you have the current database on your device?

No, you can't. The user has no access to the file system on the new devices.

On my "new" (I daren't go any newer!) GO1005, Browse map is now View map and your option is just Address.

So ...
1 Yes.
2 Yes. The method is different, you type city name and select it, then city centre is the first option as opposed to streetname
3 Yes.

However, don't let the above attractions tempt you into getting one - you'll be very disappointed. Twisted Evil

Treat your 940 with care and love and chocolates.

Simple suggestion to help indicate (if not actually PROVE) you are uploading the latest versions...

Use the MyDrive functionality to delete ONE of the PGPSW camera POI categories.
Then update ALL of them as normal and if the deleted category has reappeared it's a pretty safe bet that you've updated successfully.

The best way would be to delete them ALL before updating, but the stupid MyDrive software only lets you delete one file at a time, so removing all of the PGPSW files would take forever.
