I have just downloaded the latest speed camera data base onto my TomTom 910, I have followed the instructions as per on here, no problems and thankyou.
What I what to know is when I paste them onto my TomTom file do I have to delete the ones already on the TT, the reason I ask is on a long journey (500 miles) the next day it was warning me of cameras that quite clearly were possibly old locations, do I still have the old database as well as the new one on my system or does the new one automatically overwrite any old database. Confused

When you update the database the new files replace the old one so there shouldn't be any old data left on the device - BUT if you have previously used a different type of download you might have old data on the unit as the different downloads use different file names.
Have a look in the map folder using Windows Explorer and see how many files start with the file name pocketgps_uk_xyz.ov2

The camera database on the TomTom was the original one on there since buying it, would you know what files these would be??
I am very gratefull to any help received.

In the PLUS Services Menu Screen jsu select the Disable Option. I've never used them so am unable to give you a definitive answer as to what is on that screen. Shocked

The other, alternative, way is to remove the camera files altogether. See #13 on the TT FAQs Page.
