spotted a mobile camera local to where i live that was not on my latest camera download,when i went on to the 'submit cameras' page and located the area on the map It shows a camera already in this location.
I reloaded the latest speed cams again,but it still doesnt show on my map.
Any ideas?

What is the cam ID number or co-ordinates of the camera?

Well the mobile unit is definitely on the Database. What kind of GPS unit are you using?

And did you report the mobile unit as 'seen again'?

When did you last download the database?

I am using a one classic and dowloaded the database 28-07-09.
No i didnt register the camera as seen again.

Please submit the camera as Seen Again. That makes sure it stays in the database for a further 12 months as it is known to be current.

Can you confirm that you can see other Mobile cameras on your unit? (30mph mobiles if you are using the speed-zoned download.) I'm wondering if you have too many POI files on the device, or maybe even have not installed one of the files.

What device are you using? How many maps are on it? Are you using an SD card, or just the internal memory? Just wondering if you may have installed the cameras to the wrong folder, and the ones you are seeing are an older version.

I can see other 30mph mobile cameras,the unit does not have an sd card,it is the uk map stored internally.
I overwrote the files again with the latest download,still no show,but will load them again tonight.
I will make sure i register the camera as seen again.
Thanks

Just downloaded the file for a third time and this time the camera is showing, Smile

absloutely sure i didnt cock up on the previous 2 ,so that is a mystery.
Just as an aside,how do you remove the other tomtom poi's?
Thanks to all

If you are talking about the POIs supplied by TomTom with the device, and you want to permanently remove them from your TT, they are all held in a file called poi.dat. This file can be safely deleted.

However, before you do this, consider if it is better just to hide them by unticking each category under "Show POI on Map".

If you do decide to go ahead and delete them, make sure you have a full Windows Explorer backup first, just in case you change your mind, or even make a mistake while you are doing it.
