I have just finished loading the UK and European safety cam POIs - the Speed notated ones - on my TT devices. Putting the warning sounds on each was a tedious chore as this was the first time. My question is, is there a way to select all the POIs and cumulatively add a warning sound in one shot?
eg can they be added using Win Explorer rather than the device itself. Just a thought - they say inventiveness comes from a lazy person Rolling Eyes

Second question regarding TT's own Safety Cams: who supplies them and what is their quality compared to PGPSW - are they complimentary or should I just delete them (which is what I have done at the moment).

In answer to the first question there doesn't appear to be any other way to do it, however you only have to do it the once. Backup the Mapsettings.cfg file because if you find the settings are "lost" copying that file back can fix the problem.

However Map Updates (and possibly NavCore updates) will also man you have to start from scratch again.

Safety Cams - The TT database is inferior to the PGPSW one, you can run both together but there isn't much point if you have the PGPSW database installed. Not sure who the supplier is on the x20 and x30 but on the x40 series it's Road Angel.

Thanks Paul (sound like Debbie Mcgee Rolling Eyes ). Yes, this is a first time install, so it will be easier next time. And, yes, I will back up everything (NOT via HOME).
