Without actually seeing what you've done, it's hard to say, I'm afraid.

You have to select a .bmp file, too. Although the window appears to be filled in, it keeps the .asc extension for some reason. Give this a try, please. Select the .bmp file from the same screen as when you set the POI as active and set a distance. Set the distance to 1500' (or something like that), not 150'.

No, not enough. There are thousands, assuming you've downloaded the consolidated file, although your device will only list the first 99.

tis i again (bet u wished i hadnt bought one of these, dont u?)
right deleted speedcams off satnav deleted speedcam folders off computer and started afresh.

the file i added i started to count the listings and after 179 lost count and the cursor bar on the side hadnt hardly moved so me thinks i got the right one now, and yes on the satnav it says 1 of 99 so me thinks i got it right.

tim thank you for your continued support and help, and not losing your rag at me.
