If you're using Garmin device/software, please read this: MFM-Garmin Installation Step by Step Guide

Re: The official newbie's "Hello" topic
Papago speedtrap warnings are a built-in feature of the custom map. If your device uses the custom map, then you're in luck, because unlike Garmin, there is no user data to add to.
