Snooper Alerts - No longer Directional.

[Davidonly]

Speedcamera warnings on my Sirius 2000 Sat Nav / Scam warning gizmo used to alert me only to speedcameras that are a threat.

Now it warns of scams on both sides of the road even on dual carriageways. Customer services at Snooper first of all advertised that as a 'new feature' (NOT!)

Now they say new EU legislation means they MUST issue the alert for both directions even if the scam is not a threat.

Am thinking of going to POGO ALERT (they have a sat nav version too now). Anyone know if this is a genuine change to the law and if the POGO speedcamera database will also be affected?

(All POGO's are sold out at present )

Thanks for that. I did note that Pogo had a 'patented' directional feature and wondered if this was simply them enforcing that.

I think Pogo Alert is the way to go since the Pogodrive (sat nav version) was discontinued, which is a shame.

That means I need a good satnav.... Live traffic without smart phone link = Garmin?

I have found Garmin navigation instructions annoying (wife has one and work issue them in pool cars) since the instruction is for an obscure road name rather than route No. eg A47 might be announced as 'Norwich Road'....

Can that be adjusted?
