How do I download the POI's - Help

I registered this morning.
I have logged in this afternoon.
Selected POI for the United Kingdom
Selected Road Safety
Then select UK Speed Cameras All-in-one
Then on the next page I select the filter UK POI and then click the download button.

I am then presented a long list of GPS devices and formats.
I select Garmin POI CSV (I have been told this is the right format for my Nissan Connect). Upon clicking the Garmin POI CSV link I am taken to a page that just shows
"Download format: GPS POI", clicking this link takes me straight back to the long list of GPS Devices.

Now I keep going around in circles and no actually finding a link that will down load anything. Please help

Re: Downloading UK Camera POIs

I think you've got the last bit wrong.

When you get to the download page, don't click on any filter; just click on the Download POI" button (just below the camera icon) That takes you to a page of various makes/formats.

I then click on the 8th option "Garmin GPX (proximity alert, phone dial, etc)"

Hope that helps.

Goto main site http://www.gps-data-team.com/
From right hand side select United Kingdom from GPS POI Updates
I am presented with a page listing POI Categories and I choose Road Safety
I am then presented with a page listing various Camera POI's and I choose UK Speed Cameras
I am then presented with the UK Speed Camera page
There is a download POI file button, a Filter dropdown and a Find box
I now ignore the Filter dropdown and just press the download POI file button
I am now presented with a long list of GPS devices and formats. there is alos a Filter dropdown box above this list.
I ingore the filter dropdown and just click on (as suggested) the Garmin GPX file.
The url for that file is shown as http://www.gps-data-team.com/poi/united_kingdom/safety/index.php?Camera-UK.gpx&sid=free_poi_files&format=GPX&file=Camera-UK
I click that url and I am taken to a page that just shows "Download format: GPS POI", the GPS POI has a url pointing to http://www.gps-data-team.com/poidownloads.php
I click that url and I am taken to the list of GPS Device and formats (as above), though looking carefully at this list shows that this time none of the formats has clickable links, it is just a text page.

Not sure what to do now

I have tried in Firefox and even IE and also on 3 other PC's in the house. I all get the same thing.

Use a different laptop

I used a different laptop ( but still on windows 7 ) and it works ok now.

Not ideal but one way of doing it. Now where did I put that memory stick?
