OK, give us a clue. How far are you getting and which bit isn't working for you?

Hi There
I can download the data no problem.
I can unzip it.
I can then point it to save in the United Kingdom Maps - however, now it is asking for passwords for the pmobile_20.ov2 file?
Thanks
Steve |

Hi Gerry
I cancelled the download as i needed to use my pc - checked my devise and NOW the POI's appear?!
How strange - i have Gatso's 20 to 70, Mobile 20 to 70, all pmobiles, specs, redlights and the TBA & VAR versions of each.
Do i now have to set each warning type for distance and sound?
Thank you!  |

YES. That's the bad news, because it takes quite some time (unless you can do it blindfold like some of us who have done it for years).
The good news is that you only have to do it once - each time you download a new set of data, you simply replace the OV2 files in your map with the new ones and don't need to insert any others. The warnings will be taken from your previous installation.
