Hi.

I have an XL, while doing backups & generally poking around its HD, I came across the files mentioned below.

I don't think I need them so could they be safely removed?

Approx 32 files beginning with

Radar, Kamerat, Flitspaal, Fartsboks, Fartkamera, Blitzer & Autovelox

Those files are the TomTom Safety Camera files for the European countries, if you don't rely upon this useless data then you can indeed delete them - Mike

Question is... why bother?
Do you need the space for something else?
I'm a terrible tinkerer, but I still work to the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rule.

If you do travel abroad, you may find them a useful addition to the PGPSW camera files, just as a double-check.

Thanks both, I'll take them out.

The TomTom I bought does not & did not have European maps & I prefer flying further afield so they are of no use whatsoever to me.

Thanks.

PS I'll do a backup first though Laughing

In that case there's absolutely no point in them being there! Rolling Eyes
