I did it on the tom tom GO this way...
Download the locations...then hook it up to the USB...Explore the Tom Tom files...drag and drop the locations into the Britain_UK map folder think its called...then do the same with the icon for the speed camera's...
Sounds simple enough and it is really...just a case of locating the right file to place the locations into is the hard bit...

Off that site ^^^ Pretty much what I said...
Step 1. Download the POI file
Download the POI zip file. Save the file on your computer by selecting “save” when prompted. Save the file in a place where you can easily find it again for step 3 of the installation, e.g. on your Desktop or in My Documents. Unzip the contents.
Step 2. Connect your TomTom GO to your PC
Connect your TomTom GO to your PC using the USB data cable. The USB cable is supplied with your TomTom GO product. Ensure that TomTom GO is powered using the AC adapter.
Your TomTom GO is now visible in "My Computer" as a "Removable Disk".
Step 3. Copy the POI files from your PC
Go to the directory on the local hard drive of your PC where you stored or downloaded the unzipped POI database files (.OV2 and optionally .BMP files)
Select and copy the POI database files.
You must copy the (.OV2 and .BMP) files - do NOT copy the folders.
Step 4. Copy the POI files to your TomTom GO
Go to "My Computer” on your PC;
Go to "Removable Disk";
Then go to the map directory, for example the folder "Great_Britain-Map"; and "paste" the POI files into this folder.
NB If you have a TomTom Go 700, with all of the maps of Western Europe in one place, then you use the "Western_Europe-Map" folder.
The POI files are now successfully copied to this folder. You are ready to use your new POIs on your TomTom GO.
