| OK, probably being really daft here, but are there any free packages I can use for unzipping database? Had trial version of WinZip, but it wants me to pay for it. Is there any way of just downloading the database, CSV files etc already unzipped? |

I rather like IZArc http://www.izarc.org/download.html
After it is installed, just double-click on the .zip file or right click to get the context menu where there are options to extract to a 'here' or another folder etc.
Edit Once to resolve the webpage link (removal of the . which was at the end of the link text) - Mike Alder

The one you need for Tom Tom files is
Winrar... it is more suited to manipulating Tom Tom files than Winzip

.zip files are an industry standard method of packaging files for download and WinZip is the best know utility for handling them but there are many others.
However, if you have Windows XP or Vista then you don't need any 3rd party application as they can extract the contents of .zip files natively, what OS do you have?

If you have Windows XP or Vista, just right click on the zipfile and select "extract all" from the drop-down menu.  |
