Can't see camera POI's after installing database in TTN6 on

[frankdavis]

I've installed the Pocket GPS World (single file) speed camera database into the folder GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE on my pocket Loox running Microsoft Pocket PC v 5.1.195 and Tom Tom Navigator 6. I can not see the cameras though. I can see the files that I downloaded and copied using File Explorer but they do not appear in anywhere in any of the Tom Tom POI list screens (e.g. change preferences - enable/disable POI, or manage POI's). They do not appear on the maps either. Have I missed something or maybe copied the wrong database? The same thing happened when I subscribed to Tom Tom's camera database. I keep spending my money, but still no speed cameras!
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi frankdavis,

to the forum!

Have you read the following guides?

To use the PocketGPSWorld camera database you need to be a registered member of the forum and also a current paid up subscriber. You can subscribe for one month or one year, please use this page to subscribe, it will also give you more information and details about costs.

Once you are a current subscriber, you can download the database from here.

Before you download the camera database, it is suggested that you read some of the guides, in the following order:

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:

How to install (camera database) POIs to TomTom Navigator 5 and 6.
This guide explains how to load the PocketGPSWorld camera database onto a Pocket PC running TomTom Navigator 5.

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

Once you have installed, set up, and used the PocketGPSWorld camera database for a while on your TomTom SatNav system. You may want to share and send in details of cameras yourself. You can do this by using the PocketGPSWorld POI Capture utility:

The PocketGPSWorld POI Capture utility.
You do not need the PocketGPSWorld POI Capture utility on your TomTom SatNav system in order to use the PocketGPSWorld camera database. However if you want to send in camera details then POI Capture makes the process of recording cameras much easier on TomTom Navigator and GO (original, 300, 500, and 700). At the moment POI Capture will not work with TomTom Rider, One, and mobile. This is for a technical reason, which we hope, will soon be rectified by TomTom.

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,

I've read all of the articles you posted, thanks. I deleted all of the pocketgpsworld POI's I had previously downloaded on my PDA, re-downloaded the single file database (.OV2 and .BMP) but I still can't enable the cameras. I even tried doing via POIEdit. The .OV2 and .BMP files appear on my PDA in File Explorer but not in Tom Tom when I try to enable them. I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

Have you put the Files in the Map Folder?

Have you put the Files into a Folder in the Map Folder?

Have you unticked the Explorer Folder Option to Hide known Extensions Types?

How many custom POIs (OV2s) have you in the Map Folder?

Sorry for all the questions, but it helps to get a picture of your problem.
