Hi PGPSW Moderators,

I have been trying to install the latest camera database, but when it comes to instructions, I fail miserably.

I've been trying to follow Mike Alder's instructions but I am getting stuck after downloading and extracting all the files.

I am using Vista and cannot figure out what to do next.

Yes I am thick, I have been told that many times before, but any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mike,

Once I have downloaded the database and extracted the full files, I am struggling to know what to do next.

When I connect my TT it starts the TomTom Home programme and from there I get lost.

Sorry Mike.

Home confuses all of us, I would switch it off and follow the instructions using Windows Explorer which in Vista is accessed by clicking Start/ Computer you will find the TomTom device shows up as a specific drive letter complete with the red hands icon. Double Click this and locate the Map folder, put the POI files into it and job done - Mike

Exit from HOME as it is not needed for the job in hand.

You don't say which Device you have, other than a TT. Wink

Have a look at #4 on the FAQs Page.

Choose the first one if your Device doesn't have Text To Speech capabilities.

The second link carries extra instructions for the Text To Speech.

Thankyou everyone for your help, I should be able to do it now and sorry for being so dim.

I just find it hard to absorb info.

Thankyou again.

Kev.
