People will need a bit more information to be able to help you.
What Satnav are you using? _________________ Dennis

Don't try opening the files. Just follow the instructions to transfer them to the Navman. |

I'm afraid I personally cannot help you because I don't have a Navman.
Did you end up so far with this file on your computer? ...
pgpsw-speed-cams.zip - it's what you get from the download and it's what you "extract" to get the camera file or files you need.
Click on this link
http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=46476
then read everything about how to do it. And hope that in the meantime somebody with knowledge about Navman comes along and spots you having difficulty. _________________ Dennis

Hi I am having the same poblems. I have a Navman PiN 570. I have down loaded onto my computer but when I try to open the file on my computer get some pictures but is cannot open the others as it says I do not have the problem I am running window XP. Then when I try to put onto navman it says unknown format. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Please can someone help. I know very little about this so please keep it simple. Many thanks |

Follow the link in DennisN's post above, then click on Navman. It says the PiN570 is supported , so just follow the step-by-step instructions to download, unzip and install the cameras on your unit. _________________ Anita

Thanks for help. I have tried the link above and it is great until I get to number four. When I tried to open the file if says no file format (or something like this) This is where I get stuck. So if you know how to get past that it would be great. Many thanks |

I'm afraid I don't have a Navman, so can't try it for myself.
What is the exact name of the file you're trying to open, and what is the exact error message you're getting? _________________ Anita

You will have downloaded a file called pgpsw-speed-cams.zip. Did you then UNZIP that file? _________________ Dennis

I clicked on extract file and put it in my documents. Not sure if this unzips file or not. If not how do I unzip it? The file still has a picutre of a zip on it if that helps. |

When you reach Step 4 you should be clicking on one of the files extracted from the zip file NOT the zip file itself. _________________ Anita

I downloaded the consolidated uk files. I have tried to open the files and I can not open any except for the pictures, so I do not know what to do now. I hope this helps |
