If you read the instructions at the bottom of the download page at
http://pocketgpsworld.com/uksafetycameras.php
there will be one to suit your setup (under Tom Tom Navigator 3). _________________ Richard

Many thanks for the reply, i have tried installing checkpoint and then poi warner, even then i cant get the poi's to show on my mio when on the map. I must be doing something wrong, just dont know what at the moment. It doesnt help much that when i go to the relavent page all i get is:
NOTE TO EXISTING USERS
We have just released a new version of the PocketGPSWorld.com Safety Camera Database. There's a slight difference (and it wont work straight out of the box, so take note!). The subtle difference is - that it has now been split into three files. Namely:-
Then no more info. |

Sorry I haven't got back to you before, I'm not fully up to speed with TTG and Checkpoint. Was hoping someone with more knowledge of it might take over. ' '
Let's start from the beginning.
Questions -
Have you downloaded the SC.zip file?
Which version of Checkpoint did you download? If you have v3 try un-installing it and download and install V2.0.2.
Reading the forum I think Checkpoint is the easiest one for you. Try reading this page again and bookmark it so you can refer to it easily.
First step, and don't worry about asking. _________________ Richard

Okay thank you for the reply's. I now have the cameras as poi's in my database. I have installed checpoint 2 but now for the strange part, it doesnt show in my programs list. It shows in the remove programs section but i cant find the icon anywher on the unit to go into the settings. If i try a reinstall it recoqnises that checkpoint is already loaded. Strange. Any ideas as to how i can now go and find checkpoint to set the settings.
Oh this link helped me put the files in the right place

I don't know which operating system you have, but you should have a Windows Explorer. Open this and see it there is a CheckPOInt folder or program in Program Files. If so look for the CheckPOInt exe file and create a short cut. This thread should be able to help. _________________ Richard

thank you once again it all seems sorted now. how i hate being a newbie at something and drowning in the technology. At least i found here and the helpfull people it contains (thanks to top gear or driven or whichever one it was)
I know have 2 icons appeared instead of one for checkpoint but i think ill live with it, for the time being as thats another step by step needed.
I take it now its working i follow the guide and select warning and then the wav file i want for every type now listed in checkpoint along with use poi,s from this overlay. |

Well done. ' '
One of the icons might have installed itself when you were trying to get it to work.
Enjoy. ' ' _________________ Richard

hi OldBoy
Have followed all the above instructions and links. Checkpoint appears in its folder plus shortcut, but it will not run. Have installed and un-installed several times. The cameras appear on the TT 3 maps so perhaps I don't have to have Checkpoint operable?
