then create the following path on the memory card: igo8/content/userdata/POI.

Speedcam iGO8

1 Download as speedcam the iGO8_txt.zip file to a folder on your PC.
2 Unzip the two files, speedcam.txt and POIplaza-iG08 Notes.txt.
3 Copy the speedcam.txt file to the Storage card/igo8/content/speedcam.
4 Restart iGO8, the file will automatically update the database.
5 There will now be three files in the speedcam directory, speedcam.spdb, speedcam.txt and SpeedcamUpdates.spud.
6 Allow the device to detect a GPS signal. When this is done the speedcam locations will be active.
7 Check Settings/Warnings has Speed Camera Warning enabled.

Note: conversion of speedcam files is time consuming especially in case of a large file.
During conversion an 'init warning messages' message is visible.

4) pg_ctl register -N postgres -D c:\pgsql\data
5) net start postgres
net user postgres postgres /add /expires:never
6) createdb database_name
or
createdb -E unicode --template template0 database_name
7) createuser -d -s user_name (postgres)
8) psql -U user_name -d database_name -f file.backup
and then, if needed
or
pg_restore --host localhost --port 5432 --username postgres --dbname database_name --verbose file.sql
9) pg_ctl unregister -N postgres

Change database encoding to UTF-8

vacuumdb --full --analyze --username postgres --dbname MYDB
pg_dump MYDB -Ft -v -U postgres -f tmp/MYDB.tar
dropdb MYDB --username postgres
createdb --encoding UNICODE MYDB --username postgres
pg_restore tmp/MYDB.tar | psql --dbname MYDB --username postgres
vacuumdb --full --analyze --username postgres --dbname MYDB
