I think you can get it as a POI.

I get mine from http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/uksafetycameras.php and it sets it up as a POI with a big GONG! sound when you get near it.

You can also use CheckPOInt which you can get at http://checkpoint.oabsoftware.nl/

tick the boxes next to all the camera pictures in the list of poi menu.

Then in the poi settings you can either have it display only cameras on you programed route, or shown all cameras in you area.

You also have to set each picture up to allert you with a tone and you can set the distances think mines set at 100meters/ 300 yards?

you dont need check point for tomtom 5 the camera softwares files allready on it!

CheckPOInt handles speed cameras better especially the average speed (SPECS?) ones as it alerts you if your average speed goes over the limit. It does other funky things too.

Can this be used on a tomtom unit then or only PDAs?

Also, Anyone know how manually enter a phone book, as my 6230 says 'feature not supported' when i try and import.

Thanks, Paul.

Does CheckPOInt work in combination with TomTom Go, Alturion, Engin and/or Navigon?
The answer to all these questions is: no.
CheckPOInt only works in combination with TomTom Navigator on the Microsoft Pocket PC or Windows Mobile operating system.

Should of read that first Would of thought the data can be extracted and just copied into a folder on tomtom tho.
