Have you read the Sticky on how to install the camera database?

If not, do so, and come back with questions on anything you don't understand.

Are you sure you've got a 300? I don't think they were around in 2004 - it's amost certainly a Classic.

Hi keenster,

There are some guides that should be read (in the following order):

The beginner’s guide to the PocketGPSWorld camera database.
This explains about the different camera types and about categories and subcategories, so that you can decide how you want the database on your unit.

Depending on whether you have TomTom Navigator on a Pocket PC or TomTom GO, please read either:

How to install (camera database) POIs to TomTom Navigator 5.
This guide explains how to load the PocketGPSWorld camera database onto a Pocket PC running TomTom Navigator 5.

How to install (camera database) POIs onto a TomTom GO.
This guide explains how to load the PocketGPSWorld camera database onto your TomTom GO.

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.

Regards,

Whilst browsing the map, touch "POI" (bottom right of screen) and ask it to display all of the files which you have downloaded. This should then display the cameras on the map as you browse (although if you are zoomed quite far out, not all cameras will be shown - zoom in closer to see more)

spot on michael couldnt of given a more accurate description cheers mate and cheers everyone else who helped
a few other questions
how accurate are the mobile sites that are displayed does it mean they are there or does it mean the regularly frequent there?
also i just chose the standard warning tones to warn me but there is some others you can have isnt there?
also if i want to see if theres any extra cameras do i just update by doing what i done today to install it?
