Start by going to this page.

About halfway down is a grid of various download links. The first thing you have to do is find out which TT version you have, and possibly which device (Palm, PPC, Mobile) you are using. You then match that the correct download.

This will download to your PC a file named xxxx_new.data.chk

You will need to locate a file called data.chk on your device. It might be in My Device\Program Files\Navigator. You will need to be able to see the file extensions as there are other files with the name data.

Move that data.chk file to a location on your SD card.

Connect your device to the PC and Copy/Paste the new file to where you found the original data.chk, and delete the xxx_new from the name to leave you with the new data.chk.

When you restart TTN, go into Warn When Near and although the warning names are the same, the actual warning will be different. Hint: Use the Test Button to check them all.

If you fee brave you can get lots of variations, and even alter the warning names, at http://www.rayflanagan.co.uk/

Once again, thanks very much to you all. i know im being pain but i'd like to ask some more questions as you people are answering my questions preciesly.

Question: when i installed tomtom navigator 5. it told me to copy all folders from the CD to my 512 mb SD card i have installed in my pocket pc. the question is say if the battery of my pocket pc runs out, would that uninstall TOMTOM, or would tomtom still be there since it would be installed in my memory card. because when i had tomtom 3 installed on my pocket pc, everytime the battery of my pocket pc finished, tomtom 3 got uninstalled automatically? If i take the SD card out of my pocket PC and put it in a different pocket pc or an XDA, would it work by installing itself automatically.

I live near heathrow airport. There was a speed camera (yellow) installed on of the roads but was burnt out by some trouble makers. now they installed a new camera at the same spot. i was browsing through the mao view on my tomtom 5, after installing your camera database but that new camera did not appear. i thought i'd tell you so can add it to your database. hope this info helps and once again thanks for your help, indeed.
