If I had been subscribed for almost a year and not been able to download anything I think I would have spoken up before now.

What device are you using and which set of cameras are you trying to download.

Ask nicely and help us with some info and people may be able to assist you

Back in June, I offered to talk a guy through downloading and installing them on his TomTom device. The criteria was that he should phone me, using his own phone bill, and that he should be willing to stick at it for up to an hour.

We got as far as a quick discussion on the phone when it wasn't convenient for him right then, so it was left for him to contact me when it would be possible to arrange a date. After a week or two of silence, I sent him a text saying it would have to wait for two weeks as I was now going on holiday and I told him the date I'd be back and that he should call me then. He seemed happy with that arrangement. That was back in June and I've been on another holiday since then. My mobile phone is ALWAYS switched on. I've heard nothing from him!!

Now, this is your first post - the site is rubbish, because it doesn't work. I'm 70 years old, fat and lazy, but I can do the downloads and installs with my eyes almost shut. Why can't you? Why haven't you asked for help? My experience is with TomToms, but I did once download for a Garmin and once for a McGuider and managed to follow the instructions for them both entirely successfully without breaking into a fit or tantrum.

If you have a TomTom, I'll offer you the same deal as I offered the other guy - if you'll make the phone call to my mobile phone and stick with it beside your computer for up to an hour, I'll talk you through it. I'm saying an hour in case you are not very computer savvy - I can do the job myself from scratch to finish in something under 10 minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised if some other member with a matching satnav to yours if it's not a TomTom offers a similar deal. I've even known offers of personal visits from somebody local - that can't be offered unless you amend your profile to show where you live.

OK. So you need to download the Garmin POILoader database. Consolidated or Speed Zoned it doesn't matter.

Then try the instructions here

Have you seen the video guide here?

Where does it go wrong for you? We need as much detail on the difficultly you are having. Then we can help.
