The Western_Europe map you have on the device includes the UK&ROI, you can either update the Europe map or purchase/ install the UK&ROI map, check which is cheaper though before you finally decide - Mike

Thanks for the reply its going to work out cheaper to purchase/ install the UK&ROI map ?29.95. once iv done that do i delete Western_Europe folder?

thanks dave

Keep a copy of the Western_Euope map on the computer, this way you can put it back on if you ever decide to travel in Europe - Mike

iv brought this map United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland v8.7 its all installed does this map include standard speed cams aswell or do i need to purchase them seperatly

thanks inadvanced dave.........

Your map possibly contains a demo version of speed cameras but the service is subscription based, to be honest the camera coverage and accuracy in the UK offered by TomTom is crap, hardly any locations where mobiles are known to operate from and the SPECS cameras through the motorway network in some cases are years out of date.

Have a look at what PocketGPSWorld.com has to over, again its a subscription based service but with accuracy you will not be able to beat - Mike
