Hi there,
I have just received my tomtom GO700 and have downloaded the speed camera file on to my laptop, ready for transfering it to my tomtom GO700.
However I desperately need to clear the following issues:
1- Do I need to back up my hard drive before attempting to add the POI (speed camera- OV2 bmp files) to my Western_Europe-map?
2- Is the speed camera- OV2 bmp files the only file that I need to copy to my tomtomGo go?
3-Is there any possibilities that I could corrupt my beloved tomtomgo?
I really would appreciate a prompt reply.

Many Thanks,

Alitaff

Hi alitaff,

Welcome to the forum! Thumbs Up

1. It is best if you do backup the whole of your 700's hard drive before you do anything.

2. Please see the various guides mentioned below.

3. Our database won't corrupt your 700. However a backup is always useful!


There are some guides that should be read (in the following order):

Arrow The beginner’s guide to the PocketGPSWorld camera database.
This explains about the different camera types and about categories and subcategories, so that you can decide how you want the database on your unit.

Depending on whether you have TomTom Navigator on a Pocket PC or TomTom GO, please read either:

Arrow How to install (camera database) POIs to TomTom Navigator 5.
This guide explains how to load the PocketGPSWorld camera database onto a Pocket PC running TomTom Navigator 5.

Arrow How to install (camera database) POIs onto a TomTom GO.
This guide explains how to load the PocketGPSWorld camera database onto your TomTom GO.

The above guides may look lengthy and complicated when first seen. However if you grab a cup of coffee and read each one thoroughly then they should make sense as they have been written in a step-by-step way, for ease of reading.

Regards,

There can be 3 setups for speed cameras.

The first is a single file that contains all the cameras together, without any reference to what type. This is named pocketgps_uk_sc.ov2 and found in the 'single file version' folder.

Second is the 5 file version that divides the cameras into types. Gatso, Mobile, Specs, Redlight and Temporary. These you will find in the 'ov2 bmp' folder.

Third is the full 17 file version that divides the Gatso and Mobile files into speed zones. There are 7 each of the Gatso and Mobile files. These are found in the 'speed zoned/gatso/ov2 bmp' and speed zoned/mobile/ov2 bmp' folders. Add to these the Specs, Redlight and Temporary files as above.

I have not included the Continental file because you will only need this if going to the continent.. But should you want it , it's in the 'ov2 bmp' folder.

When you've decided which set you want copy each .ov2 file, and it's matching .bmp file to your map folder. Then setup the POI's in Manage POI.
