I downloaded the single file database for Tomtom 6.0. Within the POI's it highlights a number of diferent camera categories - is there a legend which clarifies what each camera category relates to?

Welcome Keith! Smile

There are descriptions of the camera types on the page you downloaded the database from

Camera types in the database

There are currently six main categories in the PGPSW camera database; some of the main categories are also subdivided into speed related sites. The main categories are:

* Gatso: Fixed camera locations. I.e. mainly Gatso, Truvelo and Monitron speed cameras.
* Mobile: Locations where Safety Partnership camera vans and police regularly check your speed.
* Redlight: Traffic light cameras
* Temp: Temporary camera installations, e.g. Road works.
* SPECS: Also called Section cameras. This uses digital cameras that photograph your vehicle and number plate as you pass each camera. The system then automatically calculates your average speed over the section (distance divided by time).


There are also loads of photos at the bottom of that same page.

Be aware that with the single file version you won't get different visual or audible alerts for the different camera types.
To get those, you need the "consolidated by type" set of files, or even better, use the "speed-zoned" set which will differentiate between each camera type AND the speed limit at that spot.
