That's right but you need to unzip the files from it first. Right click the file and then choose Extract... Extract the files to somewhere you can finmd them again

3) Use POILoader to load the extracted files and not the downloaded file.

1) Please STOP SHOUTING - find your Caps Lock and turn it off.

2) The alerts only appear if you are over the speed limit when you approach the cameras.

Do you have the proximity alerts on?

Did you use POILoader in Express Mode?

Did you definitely go past a camera in the database?

When you use POILOader one ofm the options is Manual or Express mode. By default it should be Express - so i'll assume it is.

What database did you choose on the drop down list?

Did you not get any sort of alert / icon / warning / bong sound?

Try the "POILoader i3" one. This is the one i use.

It'll automatically clear out the old POIs and add the new ones when you install these ones with POILoader.

Once installed in both Map and Nav mode you should get an alert if you are over the limit when you approach a camera.
