Ordered a Navman F20 on the 20% offer 2wks ago tomorrow still waiting for it. Last week Robert Dyas said their supplier had let them down but will defo be with me by Wednesday, well its Tuesday today and still nothing arrived yet.
Best of it all is that they debit my card straight away - what a cheek!!!

So less than 36 hours left until it is supposed to arrive, on a count down now.

You can download the speed camera database from a torrent website really easily (save you £26) I've uploaded a copy of the complete camera database to here http://www.yousendit.com/download/LHWCt01Xp3k%3D it's good for 100 downloads. I've also uploaded the complete camera database zoned here http://download.yousendit.com/BFC7967F2C78C8A4
You basicaly just unzip them, open the file click select all click copy then go to your tomtom device open the uk_maps or GB_maps folder and paste them in there.
but there is a tutorial here http://www.mytomtomgo.com/special_poi_2.php

Should save everybody a few quid

There is a difference between saving a few quid and breaking the law, not to mention their T&C's, as well as MSE's rules.

I don't think any of the files break the law. They are compiled by individuals who upload them to public access databases. They have never been available to purchase, only available for free on the internet, POI files are very easy to create. The edition that Pocket GPS sell for £2 is only a compilation of freely available information,you are basicly payng them to package it for you. if you look around you can find files that list every Asda in the country as a point of interests, They are just something that bored Anoraks like to create. TOMTOM know that they are available. Just thought i'd clear that up.
