Hi,
Trying to download the OV2 files for my TomTom 6 (PDA phone thing) when trying to download I select the type of camera which takes me to the next page but nothing is for download. Please see screen shot.
something wrong with the page or maybe I am doing something wrong?
Regards
Martin

Hi and welcome.
First can i ask that you remove the screen shot and resize or crop it to a max of 400 pixels wide?
Secondly can you try downloading the database using Internet Explorer? Sometimes you need to be logged in (with the Remember Me option ticked) with IE even if you then use FireFox to surf and browse. |

Hello,
How odd firefox did not work, Downloaded in IE, Thank you. Quick question...
Page says
Camera selections
EUR does not include UK!
SWISS cameras are NOT included in the EUR files!
however for TomTom OV2 I can not see Swiss files. Should there be some?
I'm off to europe end of this week.
Regards
Martin |

It's something to do with cookies. Once you have logged in with IE it should work for all browsers as long as you selected "Automatic Login" or whatever the option is and don't delete the cookies.
Swiss cameras are not included as it is illegal to have a database on your GPS with Swiss Speed Cameras so they have been removed. |

OK, Anyidea if Road Angel / Valentine One Radar Locator are dodgy in europe?
Another thing, When copying those file from zipped into the PDA 2gig card I get an error saying out of space but still have around 300meg left on the card.
I ended up just adding europe and leaving UK out. Maybe a FAT problem with how many files can be in one folder/root? |

Radar detectors are illegal in most of Europe (as they will be in UK shortly), but GPS camera locators are legal in most countries - Switzerland being a notable exception.
I don't have personal experience of PDA or SD cards with the camera files, so I'll leave that for a more qualified user to answer your question _________________ Andy

Officially illegal in the Republic of Ireland too, but apparently the Guarda don't make an issue over it. |
