Speed Cameras for Navman ICN650

I have the Navman ICN650 SmartST"V3 and am considering down loading Speed Camaera data. But being new to computers (I'm a grey haired wrinkly) I am not sure what to load into my Navman. Looking at the possibilities I would have thought the ideal would be all camera types with all the speed limits, but would I have room on the hard disk to do this?
Also looking briefly at the down load instructions it would appear to be fairly complicated but is it as difficult as I think? Confused

It's really easy, from Navman's support pages:

NOTE You need SmartST V3.0 or higher to be able to import POIs.

This is quite simple: You just need to download the POI database, and import it into your Navman. Sounds easy? Well it is. Follow me:

1. Download the Safety Camera Database
2. Once the file has been downloaded, extract the contents in a folder that you will be able to retrieve
3. The file that you would mostly need is the one called PocketGPS_UK_GATSO.
4. Now you can start SmartST Desktop on your computer, when synchronized, click on Map > POI.
5. Click on File > Open text file and choose the safety camera file that we need (pocketgps_uk_gatso.asc)
6. Click on File > Save to Device, then enter the desired settings. The most commonly used settings are:
1. Active: Ticked
2. Visual Alert: Ticked
3. Audio Alert: Ticked
4. Units: Depends what you understand the best :o
5. Distance: 1500ft / 500m
6. POI Visibility Level: 3/4 towards the right

7. Click on the [...] button and choose the picture called "pocketgps_uk_gatso.bmp" in the "ov2 bmp files" folder
8. When prompted, enter "GATSO" or "SPEEDCAM" as a name (following your preference)
9. Follow the instructions on the screen et voilà.
