can anybody help, I'm not too hot with a PC.
When I have down loaded from the camera database and try to open up with POI it just says " UKNOWN FILE FORMAT" .

Cheers

People will need a bit more information to be able to help you.

What Satnav are you using?

Its a navman icn530, but i think its a problem with download to the pc not to the navman. I don't get as far as downloading to the navman.

Don't try opening the files. Just follow the instructions to transfer them to the Navman.

I'm afraid I personally cannot help you because I don't have a Navman.
Did you end up so far with this file on your computer? ...
pgpsw-speed-cams.zip - it's what you get from the download and it's what you "extract" to get the camera file or files you need.

Click on this link

then read everything about how to do it. And hope that in the meantime somebody with knowledge about Navman comes along and spots you having difficulty.

Hi I am having the same poblems. I have a Navman PiN 570. I have down loaded onto my computer but when I try to open the file on my computer get some pictures but is cannot open the others as it says I do not have the problem I am running window XP. Then when I try to put onto navman it says unknown format. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Please can someone help. I know very little about this so please keep it simple. Many thanks

Follow the link in DennisN's post above, then click on Navman. It says the PiN570 is supported , so just follow the step-by-step instructions to download, unzip and install the cameras on your unit.

Thanks for help. I have tried the link above and it is great until I get to number four. When I tried to open the file if says no file format (or something like this) This is where I get stuck. So if you know how to get past that it would be great. Many thanks

I'm afraid I don't have a Navman, so can't try it for myself.

What is the exact name of the file you're trying to open, and what is the exact error message you're getting?

I clicked on extract file and put it in my documents. Not sure if this unzips file or not. If not how do I unzip it? The file still has a picutre of a zip on it if that helps.

I downloaded the consolidated uk files. I have tried to open the files and I can not open any except for the pictures, so I do not know what to do now. I hope this helps
