710 Speed Camera POI's not showing up?

[FJSRiDER]

Help please! My wife has a 710 that has been running the Speed Camera database perfectly well since last year. She decided to pay for a map upgrade recently (now 675.1409 according to the device) and I think she did/they included a firmware upgrade at the same time (6.525?).

Since then, despite the .bmp and .ov2 files being in the same directory as before (Western_Europe), the device cannot find and use them as POI's.

I can restore an old backup and they are fine. I can update them - but it on the old maps. I think that the update added 'TomTom PLUS' services that seems to have a 'Safety Camera warnings' that she has not used and I wonder if that is anything to do with the issue.

I've searched this (huge) forum for advice and may have missed the obvious. But does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this please - she obviously wants to use the new maps she has paid for and I'd have thought new firmware should still allow us to use the Speed Camera database.

What should I do?

You nearly found the answer yourself!
TomTom moved the management of their own speed camera warnings out of the POI menu and into the "Plus" menu (since V6.510 - Sept 18th 2006 if my info is correct).
You should be able to set them up from there, but it now has a FIXED warning distance and alert sound.
If you want full control back, you could consider swapping over to the ones from this site.
