Did mine this afternoon with no problems, other than it took about 3 hours in all. Works OK. Updated camera POI's from Pocket GPS at the same time and also added 3 albums to my music SD card. All set!

Have to say, I've never noticed anything change for a nav data update, but I live in hope!

You've got maps for the entirety of Europe pretty much... every road. I'm sure somewhere in there you will find changes, but probably no surprises on your daily commute that you've not noticed ;-)

The latest version has the Bexhill/Hastings Relief Road, opened in 2015, but missing from previous versions

Any recommendations for camera POIs that work with Discover Pro? Never looked into this thing but I guess if it's there why not add it to the system.

Pocketgps is the best source but you need a subscription

I have the Thinkware dashcam, which comes with a camera database, which is updated regularly.

How up to date are they about the cameras? A friend has on his but it still shows cameras in the West Midlands.

Same here, but I find seeing the cameras on my satnav map beforehand more useful. Also, the one thing I find problematic with the Thinkware dashcam is that you have to wait till the GPS is connected if it has been turned off for a period of time.

The maps are pretty much updated every couple of weeks. I can't remember driving past a camera that hasn't appeared on my satnav using the database, so I am very happy and more then willing to pay £20 per year!

IWAGTI was meaning the other way around - when a camera gets removed, is it removed from the DB? Being alerted to long gone static cameras can be very annoying.

In Waze only super users can mark a camera as not there, I guess pocketGPS is the same...
