I have Tom Tom Go 300.... new firmware and speed camera data loaded.

I was travelling along the A8 Glasgow Road, Ratho Station in Edinburgh in me company van.... when satnav says approaching mobile camera 50mph..
So I slowed down from 90, lets say, Wink

to 50mph...to pass the camera .....anyways

I recieved a letter from the Censored

So I asked for the calibration report and photo...and they sent it to me ...yup sure enuff its me van..doesnt show me tho....

Soooooooo.......if any of you are near this area change this to 40 MPH!!!!!!

....even tried to fight it.....still watin... Sad

Any suggestions let me know.

Peace.

If I understand you correctly, this is in fact a 40mph limit? Can you supply the camera ID and we'll ensure this is ammended.

This mobile camera site on Glasgow Road near Ratho Station, now named MOBILE:6210@40 in the February database release is clearly correctly identified now.

The idea of POI warnings is just that...a WARNING. It is not a 'GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD' You should still be watching where you are going and what's going on around you. If you were using your TT on a quayside and missed the sign warning you of that, would you drive into the water ?

That camera has always been a 40 on my GPS everytime I have gone past. There is a good chance that if your range is too high it may have picked up the 50 Gatso on the motorway (either the two under the bridge or the one on the south bound exit)

I only find the limits to be usefull in letting you know if a mobile or gatso is actually on the road I am on - for instance if it says 40 and I am on the M6 I know there is a good chance that its not for me.

Not going to preach that you shouldn't speed - thats just a waste of space. But you should be more aware of the limit for the road you are traveling on so you can tell if the camera is likelyu to be ahead or not (still not foolproof tho!!) Wonder if the subscription database will be more accurate and trustworthy....

Give us a break with the speeding lectures - the guy was joking when he said 90. Everyone speeds, that's why we need the scamera database. Rolling Eyes
