Hi Trevor,

Are you talking about the free Pocket GPS World Speed Camera database for TomTom Navigator 2, which is downloadable from this site?

If you are then try the following:

1. Load database to PDA
You should have two files from the zip file they are:
POCKETGPS_UK_SC.OV2
POCKETGPS_UK_SC.BMP

Copy them from your PC to the folder on your PDA, which contains the map data. On my PDA it is:
Mobile Device\My Pocket PC\Storage Card\Great_Britain Navigator Map

2. Add to TomTom
Shutdown TomTom Navigator and restart it.
In the Navigator screen go to Properties (hit the "more" button twice)
Properties | POI and select the “POCKETGPS UK SC” so that they show on TomTom.
If you don’t see the POCKETGPS_UK_SC POIs in Navigator Properties then perform a soft rest and start from the beginning.

3. Set up CheckPOInt 3.2
Click on the CheckPOInt icon when it’s running (bottom right hand corner)
Overlay Settings | Not synchronized (folder) | POCKETGPS_UK_SC, click on Properties and set your preferences.

HTH,

You can drag'n'drop the two files (POCKETGPS_UK_SC.ov2 and POCKETGPS_UK_SC.bmp) into the Great Britain map folder.

You can ignore those, they are the same database in an alternative format suitable for users of other systems such as AutoRoute or other GPS apps Thumbs Up
