Help! Yesterday I bought an i3 arrived home & loaded the POI software from the Garmin site & updated the software from V2.60 to 2.70, subscribed to the Pocket GPS site. All was going well but I have just spent what seems like an eternity trying to download the speed camera database. Whenever I try downloading it the POI software can't find it. When I go the folder that I have downloaded it into the file is there but looking at it's properties it just lists file and not a particular file type and I have tried evrything to try and open it but to no avail. As you can probably tell I am not the most computer literate of people so if any has any suggestions please use plain english. Thanks!
PS I am running Norton Antivirus & McAfee firewall on AOL. I mention this because in one listing somebody mentioned compatibility isssues with Norton Antivirus and I just wondered if this might have anything to do with it.
Any help appreciated.

That's odd, both available files for Garmin are zipped when I download them... Confused

Just to make sure that it's not me who is the bumpkin I am clicking on Garmin in the Sat Nav Systems and then UK speed zoned complete under camera selections. Is this good so far?

Not sure what file you have, but if it hasn't got a file extension then try adding the .zip file format to it and see if it will then un-zip

I have seen some other posts over the last few days on the forum saying the same thing, and solving it by doing that.

Glad that worked.

I have just tried the Garmin download and it works fine for me, I get the .zip file format, might be your Anti-virus or Fire-wall, or maybe your ISP doing something strange.
