hi when I try to download the camera database winzip tells me my free periold has expired and and asks me to pay for further use of software.Do I have to use winzip or can I use other software that can be down loaded. if yes where can I get it and how to I use it rather than winzip. Any help much appreciated

thanks

What operating system are you using? If you're using Vista then it doesn't need additional software, if you're using XP or earlier FreeZip will do the job.

Having said all that, WinZip is well worth the money, it's the No1 solution for .zip archives for a reason.

XP lets me unzip stuff with no additional software, as far as I'm aware!

i've been using Ultimate Zip for quite a while now. its a good alternative to WinZip (and it's free).

7zip is another option which is free and does the job

No need for any extra programs with Windows XP either - just right click on the zip archive and select "extract all".

Ah I knew Vista had it but couldn't recall if XP also did. Thankfully Windows is becoming a distant memory for me Laughing

But why? When both XP and Vista do it with just a right click?

Winrar offers better control of what the application is doing, it is also useful for performing a manual installation of the Navcore CAB files direct to a TomTom device - a decent alternate to using the Home application once the CAB file has been downloaded by the Home application.

What I mean is swapping applications around on a device, if you want to roll back or forwards with the software installed to the device Winrar offers better capability than the native Windows support - Mike

winrar is by far the best, and you can have a free trial google it, crystal is the latest and by far the best, much better than winzip imho!

But drifting away from the original question... OP only wanted to unzip the speed camera database.
