i am affraid i have not tried with the tomtom 5 update yet, when i get a chance i will try it out. It should work the same i think as long as the database is installed on the memory card.

This is for a pocketgps system. I have just purchased a Tom Tom 300, and I would like to know how to get this camera information onto my system.

Thanks in anticpation!

i have the tom tom go 300. i have tried to install the speed camera database but the tom tom does not have adequate space for all the files. does anyone know of any files that can safely be deleted from the SD card without corrupting the software? i have noticed there are quite a few unplayable media files, although they may be unplayable due to not having the right apllication to view them

look forward to hearing from anyone

thanks

Can one put in a bigger memory card, transfer the existing files, and add the speed camera database?

Yes. Copy the data from the original (supplied) card to a 256mb card. The first copy gave some problems with the voice but did it again and all was OK This will then give enough space forthe speed camera data. Have done this today on a TT300 and after some minor glitches was OK.
Hope this helps.

Michael, thanks.

What sort of glitches? How does one copy a memory card?! (I know how to copy a CD, tape etc. !!
