I am new to GPS, and currently have no product. I am looking to get a GPS system that will allow me to use Speed Camera alerts as my old road angel has died. A new road angel would be £320, so what can I get for my money that would cover the UK and UK speed cameras?
Thanks |

Hi kerplunkuk,
to the forum!
For £320, you might be able to get a TomTom Go 300 unit, or a PPC bundle with TomTom Navigator 3.
Any TomTom SatNav system will allow you to use the PocketGPSWorld camera database.

If you only require GB mapping then you could consider:
Navman iCN510 for around £350
TomTom GO300 for around £370
Both the above will take direct import of the safety camera database from this site.
Slightly cheaper would be a PDA system such as:
Mio 168 + TomTom Navigator 3 GB for around £325
PiN 300 complete with SmartSTv3 for around £325
This is a small selection and there are many others to choose from.Your choice will depend on budget and whether you want to do more than just navigate from a-b with camera alerts. _________________ Ian.

From reading the forums I see that the Tomtom software seems to be a favourite of most. Would I be better paying extra for thisrather than the generic Aldi/Lidl specials or even the Halfords PNA175 specials?
Where is the best palces to look for a tomtom system?
Thanks |

Navigation from A to B with camera alerts is good for me. I assume those devices will recalculate if roads are closed and I have to take a diversion etc? Do they offer postcode search?
Do any have the facility to have radar detector functions?
Thanks |

Yes they will recalculate the route but they don't have radar detection - only reported known positions of cameras, compiled into a database. _________________ Richard
