Hi everyone
I am a luddite when it comes to computers being of the older generation. Have just purchased a garmin 200w which I find great (and easy to use). Have just joined GPS and got my son-in-law over to download the speed camera alerts. He did it easy. My problem is they are off to Australia for some time and I would like to know when I update the speed camera alerts do I have to go through the same process as I think if that is the case I will stick with the same original database he loaded, or is it easier to update? Sorry for probably a stupid question. We all have to get old one day!!! any help would be appreciated

Hi and welcome.

Can i ask which speed camera database are we talking about? Garmins or the PocketGPSWorld one?

Thread also moved to Garmin PND Forum

If the PocketGPSWorld one, full instructions are here

It's quite easy once you have done it once or twice...

Hi
I had the Garmin 30 day trial but after looking on the Web decided to join the Pocket GPS and subscribe to their speed camera database, he un-clicked the Garmin alerts and now have the GPS alerts only as he thought it might cause a problem running 2 different alert systems. Does the update just 'update' or do you have to download everything again. Hope I am making sense to you experts!

Each download is a complete copy of the Camera Database. You need to download a new copy each and then upload it to the device with POILoader.
