Recently got a Garmin nuvi 670, which is very good but not sure about the Speed Camera database as it seems more 'vague' than the Micro roadpilot that I am currently using. I have Garmin's downloadable speed camera database - 90 day free trial then subscription afterwards.

I am planning to do a neat install of the Garmin (don't like windscreen mount) and would like to be able to get rid of the roadpilot for space/aesthetic reasons but need to be certain that the Garmin is at least as good, I hear about speed camera POI's, is this a more precise setup? do they work on Garmin? if so where can I download from?

Thanks in advance.

I only have a 360, but bought it before Garmin made their camera database available. As a result I have always used the database available from http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=For...

Subscription is £19 per year, with updates available on a monthly basis. Have found it fairly reliable so far. A couple of cameras have been in slightly the wrong place, but as they rely on users to supply info with regard to camera positions, if you are the first to report a new one, or one that is showing incorrectly, they will give you life membership.

Thanks for that, looks interesting I'll have a look and at £19 it's cheaper than Garmin's subscription.
