Hi eversonl,
Have a look at the CheckPOInt instructions, but there are some guides that should be read (in the following order). You may find that you just want to use the built-in Proximity Alerts:
The above guides may look lengthy and complicated when first seen. However if you grab a cup of coffee and read each one thoroughly then they should make sense as they have been written in a step-by-step way, for ease of reading.

So what should I be doing? Using POIedit, CheckPOInt or installing the database from this site.. or can you do all three????
i) TT5 has many POI features that TT3 lacked. You may find that all you need is TT5 without a third party program. To install the speed camera[1] database follow the instructs for the GO product. i.e. after unzipping the downloaded file find the folder called 'ov2bmp files' and copy pairs of files for each speed camera category to into the map folder on your PDA. Enable these PIOs in the TT5 menus to show them on the screen and/or to give audible warning when you approach them.
ii) Checkpoint for TT5 works in almost the same way as the version for TT3. The interface is slightly different but most of the settings within the menus are the same. The instructions for TT3 can be used as a guide about what to do.
On my system (Dell Axim x3, 400MHz) Checkpoint seems to work better for external POI warnings than the function that is built into TT5. I have disabled the Checkpoint on screen graphics. However, many people have reported just as many problems with Checkpoint as with the TT5 POI functions.
[1] The authorities like to call them safety cameras but while driving in Kent the other week I saw many signs with the words 'Speed Cameras'
If you want to use the pocketgpsworld camera database with CheckPOint, put the camera ov2 and bitmap files in the GB map folder on your PDA, start CheckPOint which ever way you prefer. navigate yourself to the overlay settings, there will be a number of folders the bottom one says " not synchronized" open that folder inside you will find all the POI's that you have put in the GB map folder, highlight on each one in turn then click properties and set the properties from there for each camera.
