If your device is newer than the via135 then unlikely. TT have restricted the camera database to its own on recent devices. _________________ Satnav:

Thanks. I was just going by the fact there's an install guide on the GPS site for this model which seems odd. It doesn't work hence my post! |

TT have started re-issuing old device numbers to further confuse the issue. _________________ Satnav:

The Start 25 was part of the same release as the Via135 and it should work.
Which method did you use, the TomTom OV2 or the TomTom (My TomTom Zip)? I always use the OV2 file and extract the files before installing them using MyDrive Connect. The instructions are here.
The zip file instructions are here but I've never tried that method. _________________ Anita

No need to do that! You said Quote: | If your device is newer than the via135 then unlikely | which is correct. You can't be expected to know when every TT model was released! I only know because I recommended the Start 25 to my sister whereas I bought a Via 135 because I wanted bluetooth so I could use it as a hands-free for calls and texts. I think that's the only difference between them. _________________ Anita

Thanks for replies. I followed that to the letter but when I right click on "My Drive Connect" I don't get the option "Manage Community Content" or "Add community content" only "TomTom My Drive Connect" "Pin to Taskbar" or "close window" so that's as far as I can get. Any ideas? PS I have downloaded latest updates for my sat nav too |

Others have sometimes reported the same problem but, as long as the device is connected to the pc and switched on, I have never experienced it.
I'm sorry but I can't offer any other solution. _________________ Anita

Not sure if it gives you the answers you need, but, if not, perhaps another reply shall?.
Reading various replies, loading the Speed Cams is definitely possible, but sadly not as straight forward as it should be. _________________ Garmin Nuvi 2599
