Which Speed Camera Detector

[bing]

Folks...

I am about to start driving allot more due to work, does any one know a decent speed camera detector?? One that can spot Gasto's etc and also that alerts the driver or "jams" mobile units!!!
...and before anyone starts to flame me I have a clean license and drive within the limits 99% of the time I just don't want to get caught off-guard in new territory!!!!

Also a sat-nav function would be a nice to have!!!

Many thanks

If you want a detector, locator and sat nav, you'll need 2 units. I have had an Indago for a while and it works pretty well (not a detector/jammer though). At the time I bought it, I got a free Snooper radar detector: it is rubbish. I have heard that Road Angel make this new sat nav/speed trap locator (the Road Angel Nav 9000) which, as opposed to other units which you have to update on a regular basis on your computer via the internet, is constantly updated via satellite. It also has traffic alerts, weather forecasts, etc. A bit expensive though (circ £500). As for detectors/jammers, I think you need to have a system properly installed in your car (see for instance Laser Star Jammer). For all systems, see this link: http://www.radardetectors.co.uk/ They are pretty helpful and deliver fast. Also, loads of info on various systems, incl the Road Angel Nav 9000 and Laser Star Jammer.

Auto express did a test on sat navs with camera locators last week but as yet I do not believe there is anything which also has radar/laser detectors. Look on AExp website.

Get a road angel for warning you of fixed gatso's & a laser park pro for the sneaky gits who hide behind the bushes or any unmarked plod driving behind you.

I use a snooper Syrius. Great for gatso and mobile sites. Just plug into your pc and auto updates.!

I use the Origin product line - the B2 and their new PogoAlert. Both are excellent, and backed up by a thorough and regularly-updated camera location list.

However, IIRC, they also sell a satnav unit which uses the same database. I'm not sure if it comes with the PogoAlert's laser detection module though.

It's a good source of advice specifically on sat nav / speed detectors....

I've recently done a free vodafone handset upgrade to a nokia navigator, which has built in GPS. For a small fee (six quid or so) I also downloaded the fixed gatso speed camera db, and its works like a dream for a freeby.

Driving around Sunderland last weekend which has loads of cameras my mobile kept buzzing me as I approached em, and it was spot on. No extra gadgets or wires needed.

It can also be set to ping when you go over the speed limit for any particular road, could get annoying if you regularly do over 70 on a motorway, but nevertheless could be a good result.

It might not be the best or trendiest the market has to offer, but for a freeby I'm well chuffed.
