Have you installed the Navman Desktop software onto your PC? It should be on one of the four CDs you have. The other three contain maps.

Did you get the map CDs? There should be four in all, one for the application and three for maps. You should also have got a carmount, a car power lead and a mains power lead, along with a carry case, remote and screen cloth and a a host of paperwork including manual, warranty, quickstart guide and a few other bits.

After asking for the cd this is what Digiuk.com answered:
Hello there
I'm afraid the ICN 550 does not come with a CD and the speed camera database. It is illegal for the companies to produce data like this.
However it is freely available as a download from www.pocketgpsworld.com
I hope this helps |

It's true that the iCN550 doesn't come with the database but it isn't necessarily true that it is free from this site.
What you need is a CD containing the Navman Desktop for iCN550 application. It is this which should have come with your unit. So, did you get any CDs with the device?

No, it is imposible without the Navman Desktop software which, I repeat, should have been supplied with the unit. As they are advertising the ability to import custom POIs
| Quote: | | You can also import your own points-of-interest tailoring your Navman ICN 550 with particular petrol stations, safety cameras, sports grounds and restaurants. |
then you should ask them to provide you with the necessary software to do this.
