They show up on the demo. You don't get the warnings if you run the demo over 400%.

Make sure you have configured the warnings or you will see nothing in either Demo mode or when driving. go to Change Preferences/ Manage POI/ Warn when near POI and configure each camera type you have loaded, if its the single file type you only have one to worry about, consolodated by type contains five and the Speed zoned set-up required 24 camera alerts to be set-up (well worth the extra effort) - Mike

What default files? If you mean the TT built in POI files, no you can't remove them.
There is a limit to the number of POI files that you can have (39, I think), but if you're using the SingleFile database, you shouldn't run into problems, unless you've gone mad with Little Chefs & Esso Stations :D

Thx bgf 4 reply. I have not made myself very clear. I am totally new to this and only had the unit 48 hrs so still learning :-). Here r the contents of the folder on the SD / MMC card.
Code:
E:\Great_Britain-Map
.
Code:
Cdlabel.alb                                       
pocketgps_uk_gatso.bmp                           
pocketgps_uk_mobile.bmp                           
pocketgps_uk_redlight.bmp                         
pocketgps_uk_specs.bmp                           
pocketgps_uk_temp.bmp                             
Great_Britain-Map.cfg                             
cline.dat                                         
cname.dat                                         
cnode.dat                                         
faces.dat                                         
mapinfo.dat                                       
poi.dat                                           
tmccodes.dat                                     
traffic.dat                                       
traffic.inc                                       
Great_Britain-2458b013.mac                       
Great_Britain.mid                                 
pocketgps_uk_gatso.ov2                           
pocketgps_uk_mobile.ov2                           
pocketgps_uk_redlight.ov2                         
pocketgps_uk_specs.ov2                           
pocketgps_uk_temp.ov2                             
Great_Britain.pna
I then have file
Code:
TomTom_Speed_Cameras_Database_For_Great_Britain__July_2006.zip

which i downloaded from here. 1) do i need to remove the other ov2 & bmp files in this directory or do i just add the contents of zip file? I have enabled in POI with warnings, bell etc but still nothing appears on route. any other POI i enable ie cinema etc shows. I only have the camera POI's enabled so the 39 POI thing isn't an issue. Obviously, i am missing something very basic here, so any guidance would be greatfully received. Thx.

Yes you are missing something - reading the posts!

As Mike has already said you need to tell TT to warn you when you approach these otherwise you will get nothing. Follow the instructions in his post and let us know how you get on.

from previous post. I have read various other posts trying to find an answer to this problem before i decided to post. also, when mike stated
Quote:
Make sure you have configured the warnings
this comes back to earlier reply. I enabled the POI's, then selected ' warn when near PPOI' selected 500 yards then selected bell then enabled select only if POI is on route. Is that correct? because nothing is appearing. Please bear in mind i am a complete neewb when it comes to this. However, if this is the wrong forum for asking this type of question, please accept my apologies. thx.

I have to ask, just in case. Idea

Did you unzip the files first and copy the files from the new unzipped folder to your GB_Folder, or copy them straight from the .zip folder?

As the files are on the card all you need to do is set-up the "Warn When Near POI" which is found in Change Preferences/ Manage POI you need to set-up all five files seperately.
When you have chosen a demo route have you actually made it go past a camera location.
When driving with the device you need to have a route planned to get a warning as you have selected "Warn if POI on route" if you have no route planned then the unit cannot generate a warning, don't worry about asking questions - we all had to start from somewhere - Mike

That would simplify matters!

Remove:
pocketgps_uk_gatso.ov2
pocketgps_uk_gatso.bmp
pocketgps_uk_mobile.ov2
pocketgps_uk_mobile.bmp
pocketgps_uk_redlight.ov2
pocketgps_uk_redlight.bmp
pocketgps_uk_specs.ov2
pocketgps_uk_specs.bmp
pocketgps_uk_temp.ov2
pocketgps_uk_temp.bmp

Add:
pocketgps_uk_sc.ov2
pocketgps_uk_sc.bmp

Then, within the application, Change Preferences - Manage POI - Enable POI - find pocketgps_uk_sc & tick the box -- This causes the POI to be displayed on the map.

Then, within the application, Change Preferences - Manage POI - Warn when near POI - find pocketgps_uk_sc & tap it - Enter the Warning Distance - Select the sound - Ensure that the Warn when near is NOT selected -- This causes you to get the warning as you approach the POI.

Let us know how you get on.
