TomTom GO - Copy the OV2 and BMP files to your Storage Card into the Country Directory (e.g. \Great Britain) and enable them in the POI screen.
Can these the instructions be used for downloading the "PocketGPSWorld.com Safety Camera Database" onto a Tom Tom Go 700 unit? It says to copy files to your storage card. The Tom Tom Go 700 has a built in hard drive, so what difference does this make to these instructions???

Yes, no differences at all...
Whereever it refers to the SD or memory card, think harddrive; and wherever it refers to "Great_Britain-Map" folder, substitute whatever your map folder is called (Western Europe or whatever - I haven't got a 700 so can't rememer exactly what it is called).

Hi norderney,
to the forum!
Yes you can install the PocketGPSWorld camera database onto a TomTom GO 700:
PocketGPSWorld guide to installing POIs onto a TomTom GO, Rider, or One wrote:
Step 4. Copy the POI files to your TomTom GO
Go to "My Computer” on your PC;
Go to "Removable Disk";
Then go to the map directory, for example the folder "Great_Britain-Map"; and "paste" the POI files into this folder.
NB If you have a TomTom Go 700, with all of the maps of Western Europe in one place, then you use the "Western_Europe-Map" folder.
There are some guides that should be read (in the following order):
Once you have installed, set up, and used the PocketGPSWorld camera database for a while on your TomTom SatNav system. You may want to share and send in details of cameras yourself. You can do this by using the PocketGPSWorld POI Capture utility:
The PocketGPSWorld POI Capture utility.
You do not need the PocketGPSWorld POI Capture utility on your TomTom SatNav system in order to use the PocketGPSWorld camera database. However if you want to send in camera details then POI Capture makes the process of recording cameras much easier on TomTom Navigator and GO (original, 300, 500, and 700). At the moment POI Capture will not work with TomTom Rider, One, and mobile. This is for a technical reason, which we hope, will soon be rectified by TomTom.
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.

If you are using the Pocket GPS Speed camera Database, when you approach a camera does it give you an audible message or tone, or did it just display aa message on the Tom Tom 700 screen?
Do you get a different message for fixed cameras and locations where mobile cameras might be sited?
You can set different sounds and warning distances for each camera category. _________________ TTGO 700 (dead)

This information is in the above guides.
