A voice of support :-)

I've been a reader here for a while, but feel moved to actually join and say my piece over the Great Speedcam Data Charging debate.

I changed jobs in August to one that involved working across the UK, and duly bought a Satnav (Navman icn520) to help out. Partly the choice came through comments I read here, having been deeply suspicious of the effectiveness of Satnavs previously. I was unaware even of the existence of something as useful as a Speedcam database at the time.

The net result of this site's aid has been that I have hardly ever looked at a road atlas since, I've negotiated my way round central London, Birmingham and Manchester, covered something like 10000 miles in the last 4 months and been consistently surprised and impressed by the accuracy of the Speedcam information that keeps me on my toes when driving along unfamiliar roads.

Like anyone else, I would love to always get useful things for free - but the satnav itself set me back something like £300 at the time and I didnt object to paying for that, so it seems churlish to object to a couple of pounds a time to keep the speedcam information up to date. If the team here do as many have requested and publish some kind of update information so I know that I ought to update this month if Im venturing into Kent or somesuch - it will continue to have my support and regular useage. When you consider what the police charge when you accidentally find a camera while travelling at a speed above the recommended one, I reckon its a bargain
