Welcome to the forum, for Speed Camera installation to your device please have a read though This Thread, it is for the Pocket PC and PNA based devices running Route 66 so will work for your unit.

For custom voices things are not quite as easy, the spoken words are all lumped together in one single file, it is possible to split this open, substitute each spoken command with a replacement then stitch the single file back together again. It is very much a DIY job as there are no custom voice packs available as yet for Route 66, have a read of This Thread which explains how to swap out the voice files - if you do intend messing around like this please ensure you fully backup the sat navs memory card to the PC BEFORE you start - Mike

thanks mike for your reply, ive checked out the links but theres one thing i cant understand it says to drop the cams in folder britian i only have one folder named europe i assume this will be the same thing as its a europe map and not the brit one, the thing thats confusing me is in side the folder there is only the map no speed cams but yet the sat nav has picked up all the cams ive passed so far ? i cant find any folder with any cams inside them except the poi wich just has gasto 30-40-50 ect

Yes the folder will be POIS/Europe as you have Euro mapping on the device, Route 66 is supplied with a speed camera database as standard, I have never used it so I will not comment on how good or bad it actually is.
If you follow the instructions placng the POI files into the correct place you will be able to not only get visual warnings but true spoken alerts using the ogg files.
Various different types of ogg file sets exist to match the Pocket GPS World Speed Camera database, these can be downloaded for free from This Page - Mike

You probaly have both the speed camera database from Route 66 and Pocket GPS world on the unit, try disabling the R66 one or remove the files you suspect are R66 cameras, just copy them to the PC before deletion (just in case) - Mike

As I said earlier I have no experiance of the Route 66 camera database, the only version I tried 18 months ago contained 2 cameras for the whole of the UK, the spooky part was one of them was at the end of the road I live on!
Perhaps someone else who has knowledge of the R66 update can assist at this point, but I would expect the update is similar to ours in that it just replaces the location data files with an updated set - Mike

Try to resolve this issue by contacting Trumpion, requesting copys of software from other users devices is against the rules of the forum - Mike
