installing poi's to tomtom one new edition

Hello all, im new, yesterday i bought a tom tom one new edition, v6.560, i have downloaded the camera database and followed these instructions.

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/uksafetycameras-tomtom-ov2.php

Am i right in thinking that these do not work as yet with my system, it says instructions coming soon for tomtom home.

When instructed to open map of uk and ireland i get an error saying windows cannot open this file.

Do i need another programm?, i continued anyway and copy and pasted the files into that location but they are not in my tomtom POI's.

Im in desperate need of home, i am likely the most clueless person on here when it comes to technology.

Thanks in advance.

If you follow those instructions you posted a link to VERY carefully, you should get it all working.
To repeat, you DON'T need "Home" to load the camera database, and you just need to put the files into the map FOLDER, where the map files live - you don't need to open any map FILES themselves.

Take it all slowly, and let us know how you get on. If you get stuck, tell us exactly where i nthe list of instructions.

And given you have already tried to open 'files' rather than 'folders' please ensure you have a full backup of your device.

Ok, ive done all that again, got everything downloaded properly, and copy and pasted into the correct file.

Everything is fine untill instruction 18, they arent in any of my POI categories, everything else is, i have garages, restaurants, police stations etc etc but nothing about cameras.

Grrrrr Sad

Yes they are built in POI's, i have eleven .OV2 files in my 'map of uk and ireland' folder, but when i click start---my computer---tomtom home-- it opens up and there are loads of .OV2 files, some appear to be copies.

These are probably the TT Speed Camera Files.

#13 of the FAQs Page will show you how to remove them. ;)

Do you mean that i cant install the camera warnings from here untill i have deleted them?

And if they are the tomtom cameras, why can i not see them on my TT device?

If you have a Full Backup then I would delete the TT Camera Files. They are not 'seen' on the Device itself because they are a different type of OV2, and the Device knows about them.

I would remove ALL the OV2 Files and start again.

You didn't answer my other questions:

I unzipped all the 'pocketgps......' files and copied everything from there into the 'map of uk and ireland' folder

Have got them on now, thanks very much for you're patience and help, its much appreciated.

Couple more things while im here, is it possible to have the cameras displayed on the TT map all the time or do they only appear when im within my pre-set distance?

Will i be notified of camera location updates by email?

Can i report a camera through my TT or must it be done through the website?
