Its up to you....
Did you read this on the download page?

What camera database categories do I need?
Well it is down to personal choice and the limitations of your SatNav package. If you were to stay in the UK there are 3 levels of options (if unsure just download the single file cameras, and when you have a better understanding of it all, download other files):
Single File: Contains all the speed cameras in a single file irrespective of type.As stated above, this category contains all of the above categories, except for the Continental one. It is for UK users who have SatNav systems that can only use a limited number of POI categories at time:
pocketgps_uk_sc
Consolidated by Type: Contains one file for each type of speed camera. This is just the main categories and none of the subcategories that show speed limits:
Speed Zoned: Contains the speed cameras in individual files for each speed limit and each camera type. If you want the above but with subcategories of the Gatso, Mobile, and SPECS databases to show speed related cameras:
There are almost an endless amount of combinations of the above. Please don't forget that:
1. You can use a combination of speed-zoned sub-categories of one type with non-speed-zoned categories of another type, i.e. speed-zoned Gatso and Mobile with non-speed-zoned SPECS.
2. If you use speed-zoned sub categories use all of the sub categories (else you won’t get warnings for every site) and don't use the full category with the sub-categories (else you will get duplicate warnings).
You can download the zipped file and manually copy the required categories to you SatNav system. If you wish to use speed-zoned categories then you will need to look in different folders in the zip file, they are in the "speed zoned" folder and then the "gatso", "mobile", "specs" sub-folders depending on your requirements.

Thanks Andy, ...So, if I read you right you are saying that I can load all the files in the downloaded folder to get full cover (if my NavMan will accept them) or download the other folder and less hassel installing ? Sorry to be a pain, but I cant seem to get my head round this (as you might guess I am a first timer). Once again ...Thanks. Ken

The download system now asks you what set of files you want to get. So I would say download the all-in-one file first. Get that working and see how you get on.
Then when you've got a bit more confidence (and time) download the speed-zoned set and try installing them (Don't worry, you can download as many times as you like during your subscription period), but remove or disable the other one first, or you'll get double alerts.
Although it is just as easy to install them (dragging all the files to your sat nav. rather than just one), you've then got to tick all the boxes to switch them on and set up the warnings for each one individually so it is just a bit more fiddly.Sorry I can't give more specific hints, but I'm a TomTom user myself!.
