With any TomTom you would use the OV2 and BMP Files to Display POI.

So, yes, you can make use of the Database and the un-zipped Files, (not Folders), are placed in the Map Folder.

To set up Warn When Near, check out This Topic.

But before you can download them you have to subscribe - £2 per month or £19 per year

Thanks , but still having problems. If I download Tom Tom OV2 file to my desktop , which I have done, this just shows as a file, how do I unzip it?

Hi I have downloaded the POI data for the speed cameras. The speed cameras are shown on the map, but I am not alerted to them when i am close.
Is this what is supposed to happen?
Is there anyway to get a prior warning about them?
Thanks
Ollie

Go into Change Preferences | Manage POI | Warn When Near.

It's the same for all TT Devices. The process is shown in the GO instructions which can be found Here.

Solution found!
The folder on my desktop was not a zip file, so did a right click on it and renamed it with ".zip" after it and then was able to unzip it and transfer files! System works really well.
