Hi Johnny,
I am confused are you able to use camera database,does it work or not? I need to know if it's working.I have had this database swithed from points of interest under custom i think and it got on my nerves always telling me of camera sites even if camera not there,so i swithed it off.

Thanks Paul,
The camera database is fine as I know were the local cameras are and this is matched when I use map function and find POI. BUT I cant get the camera icon on, so when I am driving in a new area I cant tell that a camera is there as the icon is not showing on the navigater screen. I hope this makes sense, I just need somebody who knows how to put this icon on as I already have the bmp.

In Navigator, go to Properties, then select the POI tab and put a cross against the POI's ie the speed cameras you want to show on the map. You say you have the bmp so as long as it's saved in the correct folder, you should be ok.

Thanks beazer but I am obviously causing cunfusion here. I downloaded the s/c database info onto my desktop (host) pc. This gave me the database file and a camera icon bmp. I copied the database to navigator uk map but I cant manage to copy over the Icon of the camera. POI on my ipaq is selected but as there is no icon it wont show on navigator. Failing this does anybody now the site address for CheckPOInt?
Thanks
