Default TomTom one help please anyone?

I've paid for and added the safety camera download to my unit....

....but how on Earth in the name of God and all things Holy do you get the camera locations to show up on your planned route?

been trying for 3 hours now and said TomTom is in very serious danger of getting launched

any help would be greatly appreciated,tried the idiots guide thro google etc..but even they aren't idiot enough for me

thanks in advance,Jon

Why a waste of time Steve?

I've got a camera database on mine, not from Tom Tom though, and works well.

Have you set up distance for camera alert? I could see it would be a waste of time if you'd set up a distance of say 200 yards if you're doing 70mph! as you would be near enough at the camera before the Tom Tom alerted you.

How/where did you get the camera database from?

Thanks,

Ian

Elmer,

It's just under the picture of the Greed Camera.

Headline CREATING YOUR OWN POI'S, there you'll see Tom Tom Site.

Admittidly it's in Kurdistani but, if you print it off, you may be able to get it.
