Can anyone advise what if anything I have done wrong. I am trying to use the safety camera database on my GO 300 but I am having difficulty. I download the zip file to my PC, opened the file then selected copy and copied the file named ov2 bmp files. With my GO linked up to the PC (though not sure I needed to as I have a card reader), I copied the ov2 bmp file onto the SD card into folder Great Britain Map. The transfer went ahead without a hitch and I now have the folder ov2 bmp in the GB map. I then fired up the GO and went to manage POI's and this is where I get stuck. What on earth is supposed to be in this directory? there's airports and all manner of things in there but I cannot find anything that resembles cameras gatscos or anything else of this ilk. Am I missing something blindingly obvious or should I have downloaded an extra file. When I open the ov2 bmp file the file is full of contents about cameras etc. Any assistance for this buffoon would be greatly appreciated.

You need to add the CONTENTS of the folder, not the folder itself, into the map folder. It means you have to scroll about a lot in the map folder when you have 40 PoI categories!!
