You might need to explain in better detail what you have done and what's wrong but here goes....

Did you copy the files to your map folder? If not, copy them there first and try again.

OK. Normally its the folder that is named after the maps you have.

i.e. Western Europe or North America or Uk and Ireland

Do you know what maps you have?

The PGPSW Speed Camera Database and/or POIs should be in that folder.

Don't give up just yet, stick with it and let Paul guide you through.

It's not hard, but it's made a lot more awkward by us having to do it "by remote control" Smile

C'mon, Joe, let us help you. All these people just gagging to help! I was in Barnsley yesterday, but too late to ring you to offer help (200 miles to go home). I'll ring you tomorrow morning if you're not sorted by then.

UPDATE
Joe is now sorted out. He had the cameras in the root of the 910 so we've now got them into the map folder, downloaded Liz Whittaker ogg files and set them all up. It took quite a while, but we got there.

I still have to do a written repeat for him to follow what we did, but right now I have to paint something! Crying or Very sad
