It's not only easy it's simple. Subscribe to this site, £19 per year allows free download of camera database, download and unzip folder, copy and paste .bmp's and camera database to cam folder on SD Card.
You can add voice warnings e.g. Warning - Gatso - 30mph etc., and set your warning distance, usually 300 yards at 30mph, 400 yards at 40mph etc.
Future camera updates you only need to copy and paste the camera database as everything else stays as it is.
There are 300000+ POI's you can download free from this site. _________________ Formerly known as Lost_Property

Just a quick word of warning though, don't go silly downloading every POI category and installing them to your device. The TTN6 application has a built in limit of 100 custom POI categories, each category can contain thousands of individual locations, but if you exceed the 100 category limit the software will decide which of those installed it wants to use - this leads to unpredictive results.
Also use the Change Preferences/ Manage POI/ Warn When Near POI option to set up warnings / alerts as you approach the POI locations where required. If you enable too many POI files so they show up all the time your screen refresh rate will suffer in a big way.
What you want to do is relatively simple though, once you have the required access to the downloads section of the site it will be possible to do all, and more, than what you originally asked for.
If you get stuck or are unsure please ask for further advice, the forum is full of useful user guides and help pages, but locating them might not be too easy for a beginner - Mike
