EDIT>
I just did a demo and the speed cameras are showing but with no sound/warning.I cannot turn on the warnings as they are still not showing in my poi list,why can this be ? I have checked all thru but no sign of them apart from when i go on the route and they show up.

Couple of things to remember when asking questions re: setup
the following is useful for others to to assist you
SatNav type - make, model, etc.. (i.e. Go710 )
Database Version downloaded - ov2, HOME, csv, etc..

I guess you have tried TomTom FAQ's
Database Install Help Here

A quick run thru is

Download the database
UNZIP the file(s) to the correct directory as follows

OV2 - your map folder on SD card

Home - the Downloads folder in your TT HOME installation on your PC.
Start Home, you should see the file(s) listed in the centre pane.
Click checkbox next to Pocketgps..... then use big green INSTALL button ( at top, right of centre ) to install the database onto your SD card. Pocketgps....should no be visible in the right pane now

BGF is right. Like I said before, demo speed has to be 100%. I gave it a quick try myself last night and my warning sounds came up OK. Of course, my demo is with pgpsw cameras, NOT Tom Tom ones and I have a feeling you may still be using theirs, not "ours", in which case I don't know if the TT ones give sounds in demo mode.

Thanks for that Richard, you are of course, quite right, I've just proved it to myself.

Son of Magicman I begin to think you've got something wrong about your machine. It has always worked for me with pgpsw cameras. It took me a long time to prove it works with TT cameras because I've actually deleted the UK Tom Tom cameras off my machine and had to try and find somewhere in Europe where they have them. Eventually succeeded in both seeing and hearing a TT camera, but after a lot of difficulty - I seemed to lose the cameras every time I dumped my route (which was often because I had to run route demo in hope rather than certainty of coming to a camera and even at 400% it was taking too long to get near any!). The TT sound is only a double beep, just in case you haven't heard it, or perhaps you didn't notice it as a warning sound (is the volume control set nice and loud?). You don't get the choice of bells and hooters.

You STILL haven't actually said which cameras are not giving sound warnings, but I still suspect you're only on the Tom Tom ones. If that is the case, the only suggestion I can offer (and please bear in mind I'm no expert, obviously, just thought I could give you the simple answer) is for you to ask Tom Tom. The website contact method is not very encouraging, so I'd suggest you join the New Year queues at 0845 161 0009.

Or you could try again to use the PGPSW ones. Far less hassle, honestly - read the instructions and come back if it beats you.
