Mac download

Well, I did BOTH

I haven't checked OS 9 or the Mac version of Internet Explorer (OSX or OS9), but if there's a need for this then I'll see what I can do.

Just a note for anyone who doesn't like Stuffit Expander for whatever reason: The Unarchiver (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22774/the-unarchiver) expands the archives with no problem, even when you double-click

(edit: it's free, BTW!)

Hi - please don't take this the wrong way I really am a happy user but I have just spent an hour trying to update my database for the first time. Ignoring the fact that it all becomes confusing if, like me, you're not familiar with the many acronyms - I eventually THINK i got to the correct bit of the site (this is because the "subscribers 'link' in the email I received didn't take me to the download page - I now know that I should have clicked on the speed camera icon maybe you should get rid of the "subscribers" link or make all links go to the download page) and thought I'd try downloading on my Mac but got a load of windows files (yes I unzipped with Stuffit Expander) - should I be seeing POI files - and then how do I get it onto my HTC Artemis ? take out the card and put it in a card reader ? I must say I'm pretty computer literate but have found my first update experience a bit frustrating and feel it could be made less painful - most updates for most software I use are generally an email saying "do you want to update" then : download, expand, "there's an old version do you want to replace" and the job's done ! Again please don't think this is a grumpy old man moaning but I still haven't done the update and guess I'm asking for some guidance. I have been searching but have to get to work now. Best regards Roger

If only it were that easy, we support a huge range of platforms across many operating systems, it simply isn't possible to automate it or make it simpler. few manufacturers offer third parties any options to automate.

We would love to make it simpler I assure you! as it is, whilst initially daunting it is very straight forward once you start.

The membership fee is for access to the subscribers area and other subscriber benefits, the cameras are just one facet of that and this is why the subscribers link does not take you to the safety camera downloads.

As for your issue, which download did you select? You don't say what software you are using and as you are 'presumably' a Mac user then the fact that you have a Windows PocketPC makes matters more complicated. Mac has no software to copy files to a PocketPC unlike Windows. You have two choices, either use a Card Reader or invest in a piece of software that replicates the functionality windows users have when communicating with a PocketPC, see MarkSpaces Missing Sync.

As for your issue, please let us know what file you downloaded and what application you wish to us it with and we can talk you through the process.

Thanks for not shouting at me Darren I totally understand your predicament - I have and can use a card reader so I'll try that but of course need to download the correct file - this one ?

pgpsw-speed-cams-xxxxx.zip .

I got it from here:

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras&op=SelectPackage

and went for the TomTom OV2 / UK single file options

I have an HTC Artemis, TomTom, windows mobile 6. Hope that helps and thanks again for your patience.

Away now for a couple of days so looking forward to your reply when I return.

Roger

That's the one. Extract the .zip file using Stuffit or Unarchiver. Then copy the extracted files to the map folder (the name depends on which map you use) that will be found on the memory card.
