I thought I would have a go at building my own speed camera detector using a GPS module and a small handheld computer.

This project is one of those that I keep coming back to but I do remember downloading a free gatso camera database in garman .CSV format and I cannot remember where from.

Although I can convert .OV2 to garman .CSV using poiedit.


It will have a very simplistic display and simple warning. Not for commercial use, just a bored evening type project.

I get mine from PocketGPSWorld which seems to be very up-to-date. Small annual fee if you've never submitted a camera.

free versions are available from http://www.poiplaza.com/

Not on weekly updates like pocketgpsworld, however.....the locations are correct and they have the database in many versions

thumbup Perfect, thanks - even has .CSV format...smile.

Also thanks for the pocketgpsworld link but as this is a homebrew experiment I dont want to pay for it (yet).

I know this is a really old thread, but any update on how this went?

Find any other decent sources of info for free poi data (that can be used commercially)?
