I have just downloaded my first speed camera database but all i need to know is, on subsequent updates do the files include the original or just updates.

Many Thanks
Very Happy

Hi and welcome.

Each release contains a complete copy of the database, so it replaces the one before.

So all you need to do (assuming you are sticking with the same "version" i.e. single file, by type or speed-zoned) is to copy and paste the new data files themselves (.ov2 or asc or csv etc), allowing Windows to overwrite the old ones with the same names.

The icon files and any audio warnings (.bmp .ogg etc) can all be left alone as they don't change from month to month.

That usually only applies to TomToms of course. Wink

I'd hoped that judicious use of "any" and "etc." would cover all eventualities! Cool
