Found an old Origin B2 solo the other day whilst clearing out some boxes.

Does anyone know how I can update the unit with current speed camera sites, or alternatively hack one of the input files to allow the use of PocketGPSworld data, which I subscribe to?

Origin have sold their camera detector business to Road Angel, who I guess would be the people to contact, but you would need a subscription.

I still have an Origin in my TVR. It still works just fine and I update every week, as already posted they are now owned by Road Angel. I think you can still download the updater and buy a subscription. I should make sure the unit is in full working order before paying for the subscription tho.

For me the Origin was great. It was replaced by the Pogo which was even better but the current Road Angel offering looks horrible. vomit

Yup, I wasn't impressed when my Pogo Alert+ died and was replaced by a Gem under warranty.
