Hello,
You're better off buying a TomTom Navigation system. That can have a
database of speed cameras installed. I use mine to point out where the
speed and traffic light cameras are when I am driving - for amusement
purposes as I think inappropriate speed kills. Either during navigation or
just on normal mode it shows anything you set as a point of interest. You
can set it to show anything and all the databases are updated on a regular
basis. Plus you get a lovely navigation system. Staples were selling the
HP pocket PC version for £269 before Christmas. That was before they put
the price up just before Christmas so it could be reduced again in the
"sale" to the normal price after Christmas.
Getting back to the devide you looked at - if it was that good, the owner
wouldn't be selling it. Don't forget it is only as good as the database
info. It can't detect mobile cameras as they move all the time. It doesn't
detect police cars marked or unmarked with speed measuring devices either.
It's just fixed position cameras.
Personally, I think it's a waste of money, the same as radar and laser
detectors - by the time they alert you there is already a photo printed out
with your speed on it.
