Adding POIs
I have managed to load the Pocketgpsworld speed camera database (at least the system says it is loaded!). However, I saw the youtube video which shows the various types of camera files but the file on my D4 screen shows the single original file name. There is no breakdown of camera types. Can anyone tell me whether this is normal? I also can't see the speed camera POIs on the POI list.

Sorry to bump this but I am at a loss as to what to do next. According to my GPS, I have correctly loaded the POI speed camera database (from PGPSW) but there is no sign of any speed cameras on the screen. I even chose the icon and the notifications so I am now baffled. Any ideas?

I may not be until after 10pm in order to check the exact make up of own my POI files ...but in the meantime can you tell me how your poi's are organised on your USB stick ....each type of poi should be in it's own folder with the .gpx files of the co-ordinates of the object and also a .bmp of the icon you want to use ?21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

And thereby is the confusion! I looked at the youtube video and saw a number of gpx files in groups that mirrored the type of camera. When I D/L'd my file, it was just one gpx file - I couldn't see any sub files or folders. When the file I D/L'd seemed to load, I assumed there had been some form of update and there was only one gpx file. My zip contains:

I think I may vave answered my own question while I was doing this. I had assumed that the Eur files included the UK but looking again, seems I was wrong. I assume now that I should be downloading the UK only file!

I'm not sure about the eu files but as long as it is a valid .gpx file it should theoretically work
The files on you USB should be arranged like this:
