If so, did you also follow the last step?

Thanks for the reply's, yes followed the instructions, when I put the CD in the machine with file in Garmin folder, nothing happens, it doesn't ask to update

Tried 3 CD's now, no luck

Yep I did finalise the CD, used Windows Vista standard software, tried CD in another old PC & it see's the file, very strange Rolling Eyes

Wonder if I should give it a go with the old XP machine?

Fixed it, burned the disk with Nero, problem solved, seems it doesnt like the Windows Vista software?

Thanks for all your reply's Very Happy

Cheers
Paul

Excellent. Sorry i missed your post on Monday. I suspect it's the built in Burning Software not Finalising properly or in the required manner..

Never trust Vista to do a job that a decent alternate application such as Nero can accomplish - Vista isn't bad, but disk burning isn't one of its strongest points - Mike

I am also having problems loading the speed camera database on my DNX5220BT unit. I have followed the instructions exactly and burned the "Garmin" folder containing the file that was produced by POILoader software. I made sure that the disk was finalised. I am using Ashampoo 2008. The finalise setting was ticked- the disk is verified as OK.

When I put the disk into the Kenwood unit, it plays a series of sounds- like white noise- and that is it! No offer to load POI's!

I tried burning a couple of different disks and I get the same each time. I am stuck as to what to do now- does anyone have any idea? I am sure that the disk is burned correctly. I don't have Nero software to try that.

It is definitely recorded as a data disk.

I tried to load the disk into the Kenwood unit in all modes- definitely NAV. It just does what I said, namely plays it as some kind of audio track. I tried burning again using XP and got the same response.

I have no idea why this is not working!

It's possible it the software. You could try a 15 Day TRIAL version of Nero fromhere
