Hi,
Have you tried using the If your download does not automatically start: Right-click & 'save as link available after the last selection? _________________ Darren Griffin |

Hi,
Thanks for your advice,but I still end up with an empty file!
This is the first time I have encountered a problem like this.
It seems to download ok,but when I try to open it,its empty.
Any more ideas,
Thanks,

Works here OK - twice. 924 kb download, contains 5 files.
Are you using Internet Explorer?
What are you using to open the Zip file with? |

Sorry but you need to be clear. We can't see what's going on with your PC and Sat Nav.
So far you've said the file is empty (which from the description you gave "It seems to download ok,but when I try to open it,its empty" seemed to indicate you where downloading an empty ZIP file)
but then with further questioning it turns out the file isn't empty but does include the relevant files.
Where do you only end up with a Readme file? On the Sat Nav? On the PC? Are you saying the Installer doesn't install an Overlay to the Sat Nav? |

I've just noticed something else. The download page states
Quote: | The Garmin GPSR database is currently 6.023 (15 Feb 08) |
but the release files states
Quote: | PocketGPSWorld.com Speed Camera Database
---
Version 6.033
---
14 Mar 2008
---
Copyright PocketGPSWorld.com |
Also the time stamps on the files are 18/3/2008 10.51
so the files could be being updated at the moment. The Overlay file always seems to be updated later that the other files.
Maybe give it an hour and try again. |

Well i've installed the files here and there are a bunch of file with names like 80000700.img in a directory called C:\Program Files\Safety Camera Map\Safety Camera Map on my PC all date stamped 15/03/2008 14.40 - 14.42.
Are these not on your PC?
Do you not have to use MapSource to load these to the Sat Nav?
Instructions are here |
