I'm not sure if one is available yet but I expect it will be produced soon. We have until Feb. 19th, don't we? _________________ Tim |

Thx Tim
Where's the best place to check nearer the date, or is there a way of being advised when it comes out?

Well the one being sold (and given out free) on tomtomfree is one that they pinched from me. I will look at updating mine in the near future and make it available somehow.
Watch this space. _________________ Tim |

I notice they have also stolen 3 of mine and have even left the dummy entry in I add as identification. _________________ Graham.

Thanks Tim
Will you add a post here to advertise the new file when it's available?
On a slightly different note, there are two roads that will be CG free, running East-West and North-South. I wonder how POIs will be able to cope with that?
Must be galling to find your POI database being sold elsewhere, regardless of the fact that it's copyright theft. I'd certainly be willing to pay (a nominal sum) for POIs if it went to the authors. Could you sell it through PocketGPS in a similar way to the camera database?

Yes, I will put a message here. As to Park Lane, Edgware Road and the A40, etc., the only solution I can think of is moving the point just into the road and have 'only warn when POI is on route' selected.
I've no intention of selling it and at least ttf now credit me as the creaor. _________________ Tim |

Alan
Can you give us an insight into how this works. How have you dealt with the free roads through teh extended zone, for example? Is there a need to keep the old congestion charge zone files in place or does this replace them?
Glad to see the sendmefile.com link was useful.
Cheers

One of the other mods (the link worked for him) sent it to me. I have made one myself; yours doesn't take into account the two 'free ways', though. _________________ Tim |

What is there to take into account, if you travel on the freeways you dont enter the zone !! |
