I got mine off a trusted seller on ebay. £869 delivered to my door :grin:

Did i mention it has all the latest traffic updates, speed cameras, traffic cameras, and most importantly MOBILE SPEED (updated daily) cameras!!!

Worth the last one alone I would think should you get caught out by one of these sly little bu66ers :huh:

R32 me dumb please excuse did it come with the speed camera's on and how does it detect the mobile ones.  :shocked:

It doesn't come with the speed camera data but a certain 'geek'  :rolleyes: send him a disc with the latest POI database.

It does include the Mobile camera locations but these don't get updated automatically.

I knew you were providing this wonderful service but i'm still confused on the mobile stuff.  :embarassed:

^^^^ I am confused by R32's comment about the auto update as well TBH.

The data I put together includes the following: -

1 - All known Fixed camera broken down by speed limit. (with speed limit icons)

2 - Traffic Light Cameras (Blue traffic light icon)

3 - All known Mobile Camera sites. (Orange Mobile GATSO icon)

Here an example screen shot: -

Thanks StevePG i knew it was to good to be true.  :cry:  if i remember correctly the police have to declare locally where they are going to be positioning them, i thought he had subscribed to some sort of data base with instant updates.  :rolleyes:

Yep they do, that's why I got the Road Angel connected as it does receive these updates in real time on the mobile GPRS/EDGE network  :nerd:

Works a treat, going up the M40 last week there was a camera van on a bridge and the unit gave me plenty of warning  :smiley:

Storage for music, it supports normal (not the SDHC) SD cards which go upto 4GB in size.

No only upto 5 digits.
