There are 3 different methods to install speed camera POIs:
Method 1: Copy POI files into map folder
Method 2: Route planner by MyDrive
Method 3: Add community content with MyDrive
R-Link Explorer
TomTom website: Find the model of your navigation device and what software it uses
Use this method when your device is shown as a flash drive in your computer.
Switch on your TomTom device.
Connect device to computer. Wait till connection is ready.
Open Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
TomTom device should be shown as flash drive in your computer.
Copy and paste unzipped OV2 and BMP files into your map folder.
Disconnect device from computer.
Go forward to capter 5: Enable alerts.
Use software MyDrive Connect when your device is not recognized as flash drive.
Load and install software MyDrive from TomTom.
Free download from TomTom MyDrive website.
You need a TomTom account as well.
Here you can create new account.
Link to TomTom support: Installing MyDrive
Link to TomTom support: Managing Community content
Switch on your TomTom device.
Connect device to computer.
Start MyDrive Connect.
There are two different installation methods for MyDrive Connect. If in doubt, try both methods:
Method 2: Route planner by MyDrive
Method 3: Add community content with MyDrive
Open link: https://mydrive.tomtom.com.
TomTom website opens in a browser tab.
Sign in to your TomTom account.
Note: Although the POI file is very small, MyDrive needs at least 400 MB of free space in your navigation device (internal drive). To sync OV2 files with your navigation device, your device needs at least 400 MB of free space. The software MyDrive will be unable to sync when you have less free space. We recommend to delete some countries/maps and POI files which are not in use to get more free space. Or upgrade your TomTom device with a larger memory.
Go forward to capter 5: Enable alerts.
Right click on MyDrive Connect icon in the system tray.
Select Manage community content.
Open link http://169.254.255.1/pcmi/.
Note: The link can only be opened if the device is registered in MyDrive Connect and correctly connected to MyDrive Connect.
TomTom website will open in a browser tab.
Click Browse.
Use this installation method for Renault R-Link (except R-Link 2) and smart Media-System with TomTom Navigation (smart 453)
Make sure to create a backup of the TomTom memory card before you begin with R-Link Explorer! (very important!)
Search for the software R-Link Explorer (Source: Djeman13).
You'll find the download link and an informative video on a friendly speed camera website. ;)
Download the R-Link Explorer software and install it on your computer.
Proceed to Chapter 5: Enable alerts.
Note: The appearance and menus may look different. It depends on device and software version.
If necessary browse through all menus of your device.
Go to Main > Settings > POI settings > Warn when approaching a POI (Einstellungen > POIs verwalten > In der Nähe des POI warnen).
Do you have some pictures for us? (in your language)
Would you like to improve our translations? We are very appreciative of your help. Please help us optimize our installation guide.

Click Done.
Repeat last steps for all SCDB categories.
At the end, check the entire list for your own safety.
Only POI categories with a speaker icon bring an acoustic alert.

Note: [88214] is the speedcam ID. Find that speedcam in our speed camera map.
Repeat all steps of the guide above to update speed cameras in your device.
Advice: Select always same countries (step 1) and icons (step 2). So you get always files with identical file names.
This makes overwriting very easy.

Update with method 2
Import new POI files according to instructions above: Route Planner > My Places > POI files > Import POI file.

Attention: Do not delete system files!
Attention: Do not delete file with unknown content!
