guys, it seems that some people here on the board managed to get a DVD with french cameras, others are working on german ones plus this version with english cameras. would it be possible to join these efforts and prepare a 2007 dvd (when it comes out) with speed cameras from the UK, France and Germany?

Thanks for that... well worth the £6 imho

Cant understand why people will buy copies from ebay for a tenner that have been burned too quickly, are on dubious quality disks, etc., and then wont pay £6 to download it off the net from a forum member...

....... but we need to know where the accident black spots are for safety reasons. These are after all the only places where cameras are located!!!

Follow the same link.
Forgive my lack of understanding in these matters Chris but...

I,ve subscribed to Rapidshare and Pocket GPS World and downloaded your (28) 2006-2 files but I'm having trouble uderstanding your instruction document!

1. Do the 2006-2 files include the latest camera locations or do I have to get these from PGW as per your instructions?

2. If included, do I have to convert them to an ISO image before I can burn them onto a DVD or is the file extension .rar that of an ISO image?

3. Under 2 of your instructions) I have downloaded the latest 'pocketgps_europe.asc' zip file from Pocket GPS World. Where should I extract it too?

4. Under 3 b) I'm unable to access the ASCI to IDX/URL Mk4 convertor.

5. Could you please expand on 4) & 5), I'm not sure if I understand these.

6. Lastly, how do you keep the camera information up to date? Do you have to go through this procedure each time there are updates or is there a quick fix?

Thx for your patience

If you have downloaded them all you need to do is extract the iso file from them and burn it as an image.

See above. Just click on the first of the 28 rar files and a single iso file will be extracted.

Any suitable folder on your hard drive.

It appears this link is now dead. I have added it to the folder containing the 28 rar files.

4) File open. Locate the asc file and open it. Now go File > save and select TomTom asciII from the bottom drop down list. Now save it.
5)Open the command prompt by going to the start button, slect RUN and type CMD, press enter. You will get a black dos box. Type CD\ and press enter. Now type C\XXXX\: asc2idxurl_mk4 CAMERAS where XXXX equals the directory the asci file is in.

6. Lastly, how do you keep the camera information up to date? Do you have to go through this procedure each time there are updates or is there a quick fix?
No, just create new CAMERAS.idx and CAMERAS.url files each time.

Am in the process of downloading this, not a complete newbie with regards to computers and suchlike but i am new to fiddling with the nav system.

Car is an 02 3.0d Sport with nav (obviously), so I want to know if this disk will work once burned. I believe that there are differences in the nav units (Mark I, II, III, IV, etc) and you can brick your unit by trying to upgrade it with the wrong software.

So - Will this DVD work on my system?
- Will it update my system in anyway, importantly in any potentially harmful way?

*edit* - Have found out that my nav system is Mark 3, running v18.2 software and a 2002 disk. The latest I can upgrade to is v22, so will try and find out how to do that. So, still wondering if this nav dvd will work? - *edit*

Thanks, Disco
