The instructions are different for the 1000 to the 540. Follow them here... http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/uksafetycameras-tomtom-nav3.php.
You may have to actually unzip the files onto your hard drive first - not copy them from the unzip utility when using MyTomTom.

| Thank you Gerry, I was working with the 1000 instructions but I think it's a pc problem. I'm still trying but with no joy, the unzipping seems to be the problem |

Can we help with that?
How are you attempting to do the unzipping?
On all Windows-based PCs you should be able to just right-click on the zip file and select "Extract all"
That will produce a new folder in the same place as the zip file. The folder will have the same name as the original file and inside it will be the individual files you want.
When you ask MyTomtom to load the poi files, just browse to that folder and select all the files you need (.ov2/.bmp/ (and .ogg if you need audio warnings)).
P.S. I've moved this to the TomTom section, but left a link to it in the old place)

| thank you for your kind help, I believe I'm almost there after onlly a week of trying. On my old 540, I was able to turn off the TOMTOM camera warnings, as I don't want duplicate warnings, I can't see where I can do this on the 1000. thanks again. |
