garmin zumo

[martyn2974]

Hi
i am considering getting a garmin zumo and subscribing to the speed camera data base .i have a couple of questions.
1 is it easy to download onto the unit ,i am not a computer geek ,i would rather be out on my bike than sitting in front of a computer,file names and all the rest do not mean much to me
2 there seems to be a number of data bases ,i am looking for one that warns me and provides the speed zone ,is this available and can the zumo download it .
3 is it easy to update.

hope some one can help

Hi and welcome.

Loading the database on the Garmin range is very easy.

You need a program called POILoader installed on your PC which you can get from Garmins website here

Then after each release you just download the database you want. Unzip the contents to a folder on your PC, connect your Zumo and run POILoader to send the database to your PC.

After that you just repeat the process each week and the old database is overwritten with the new one.

Full instructions are here

Video guide is here

It sounds like the Speed Zoned database is the one you want to use.
