Can't help there, but you are aware that the newer TomToms won't take the PGPSW camera database the way you would want it to, aren't you?

I.m fully aware that a new TomTom cannot accept the PGPSW database but that is not that important to me. The main thing I want is the zoom at junctions etc mainly for driving in Germany where there are far less speed cameras to worry about.

Just saying, in case you were 'into' speed cams. A few people have bought first and asked later, only to be disappointed at the answers.

Hi h5djr,

According to the TomTom GO manual, you can select Automatic zoom to change settings for the automatic zoom in Guidance view when you approach a turn or a junction.

Click on the above link for the relevant part of the manual.

Regards,

Well having tried a new TT device I think I'll stick to my trusty XL Live IQ Routes for the time being. I mainly use the TT for speed cameras and will continue to load it with the PGPSW database.

For navigation I have the latest Audi navigation system in my A3, which whilst it does seen rather complex at first at least I can find destinations on Google on my PC and send them to the car with just a click.

The Audi system cannot take the PGPSW database,hence my retaining of the TT XL.

I can confirm that the GO5100 does have this feature.
