The compatibility table half down this page seems to suggest it might be possible.

If you try it can you let us know so we can update the table?

I think this is a good example of why it would be good to have a demo version of the database for people to try out before buying.
Maybe TWO categories (so people can check they can upload multiple data files), say the 20mph Gatsos and 20mph Specs?

What does the team think?

As a lifetime member of the site there is no harm in trying the full database rather than any sort of sub-category - Mike

A while back when I had my N95 I installed the database onto Nokia Maps. It was unbearable. Due to the amount of data (I used the Speed Zoned set) the phone was virtually unusable.

I started to install it on my N97 under Ovi maps but due to the way Ovi maps handles 3rd party POIs I gave up.

You have to convert the Speedcam database to Nokia Landmarks. I used GPSbabel for this. Copy the created landmarks to a temporary folder on your phone and then using the phone's built-in filemanager (Xplore, Ybrowser will not do this part) browse to your folder and select the landmarks file, It will ask you if you wish to import the landmarks into maps. The problem then is that it places a record for every camera into your "favourites" list. You can spend hours sorting through them and placing them in your own created categories but when you try to navigate to a favourite location it will then bring up all the cameras Sad

At this point the N95 would give up and I would have to restart the phone.

I don't know anything about the X6 but it has the same operating system as my N97.

It is possible but until I get a reply from my email to Nokia asking them to look at the way Tomtom and Sygic handle 3rd party POIs I will not be using it.

I have a personal POI file containing only 100 entries and still that is a nightmare to update and process.
