 to the forums!
I know a lot of people are posting this type of request, but, if you can't be bothered coming back to check for replies to your post, I think that asking for a PM would by better than posting your email address in plain text. I'll be surprised if you don't end up getting a load of spam. If you really want to post your address, I'd suggest something like "madmackie at talktalk dot net" but I think you'll find the bots can handle that type of thing. Something like "madmackie at talk_takethisout_talk dot net" might be better.
Anyway, back to you're original question! If you look at the bright red text to the left , you'll see | Quote: | Help

| sorry for being naive but as i say im new to this so maybe i was wrong to post my email address as i say im new i have read the points you have said i have got as far as dowloading the file copying them and pasteing them into the appropiate folder only when i re boot the unit there are no speed cameras there at all. if i restore toe unit then the originals re appear. i have had some one email me with the instructions for a 910 and he seems to think the file i downloaded is correct but cant understand why when the unit is powered back up nothing is there not even the ones on the original tom tom card im totally lost have added voices 1 gig card splash screens but for some reason cant get speed cameras on please help !! and sorry for being a fool and thanks in advance |

Have you set them up with Warn When Near?
If not, have a read of THIS.
Just ignore the section on Text To Speech.

Can you tell us what Files (OV2 and BMP) you have in the Map Folder?
Use Windows Explorer to Browse the SD Card.

| Problem resolved, Extracting POI's from the download rather than trying to drag them accross to the device, although I showed Pete a few other tricks and set-up the camera warnings using the ogg file method - Mike |
