First steps

1. If you do not already have Garmin's POI Loader Installation Utility installed you must download and install it.

Where to get POI Loader?

1. Download POI Loader from Garmin's website here.

Downloading the Speed Camera Database

1. Download from the PocketGPSWorld Speed Camera Database page by selecting Garmin POILoader.
2. Press 'Continue'.
3. Choose the database files you require (country and database type) i.e. UK - Speed Zoned Complete.
4. Click 'Download Database'.

Extracting the Database on the PC

1. Extract the ZIP file contents to a directory on your PC.
   • In Windows XP/Vista right-click the .zip file and select "Extract Files Here..." or use a program such as WinZip or WinRar to extract the files - if you do not extract the files POI Loader will not be able to use them and will report that there are no csv files available.

Installing PocketGPSWorld Speed Camera Database

1. Connect your Garmin to the PC via the USB cable.

2. If POI Loader does not automatically start, launch it no.

3. Select your device from the drop-down selection.
4. Browse for your POI folder and follow the on screen instructions.
   • NB: You MUST ensure you select Feet and mph if you are using UK/Northern Ireland files or Meters and km/h for all other countries (see below). If you do not ensure this selection is correct for your territory then the alerts will sound at incorrect speeds. This is the most commonly asked question, please check you have configured this correctly first!
5. Use ' auto' mode to quickly transfer the database to your unit.
6. Note that any other POIs you wish to load must be uploaded at the same time as the Speed Camera.

Displaying Speed Cameras on Garmin units

1. Ensure that you have Proximity Alerts turned on in the units settings.

2. If you have a newer unit with the Garmin / Cyclops camera database installed then you may want to turn off alerts for this database to avoid duplicate warnings.
