Safety camera updates - certain cams not showing......

Pasoti

Hi - I've taken out a 12 month subscription with TT for safety camera location updates. As far as I know I've been updating correctly but as I drive in and around Plymouth I notice speed cameras that are not on my TT, in fact - there's one down the road at the entrance to Foxwood gardens but It's never shown up on my TT.

Is this simply a case of no-one reporting their position/whereabouts? should they be on my TT? Ohhhhh - so many questions with this pesky GPS malarky Wink

Any info would be much appreciated

If it's a fixed camera then report its exact position to PGPS and get life membership for free.

Just to add - I check for updates once a day on TomTom home and it keeps telling me there are no fixed camera updates available.

As a side note - in my POI's, sometimes there's mobile cameras in there, sometimes there not unless I update - now, by there very nature, ie, "mobile" cameras, do they need to be updated daily or before you go out beacuse of possible day-to-day different locations? Someone tell me I'm getting warm!!

Don't count on it.
I reported one, when it finally appeared, i didn't get a lifetime membership, ok someone must have beaten me to it.
I went past the said camera last week and it is out of position by 200 yards, as i reported it.
Seems strange that someone else reported it in exactly the same position as i did.

There seems to be some confusion here. As far as I understand it, Pasoti has taken out his subscription with TomTom, for the TomTom speed cameras. It has been mentioned previously that the TomTom version does lack accuracy (though I haven't tried it myself!).

Everyone else is referring to the PocketGPS speed camera database, which is a different beast altogether. This one is generally more accurate, as it is kept up-to-date by the likes of you & me reporting new sightings (use the "speed cameras" link at the top of this page).

Thanks for that Tom - I thought it would be along those lines re mobile cameras.

As someone mentioned earlier, yes - I am using both TT's and PGPS worlds camera database - I'm new at this game and I suppose I'm getting a carried away and want every camera in the world on my TT - not that I drive fast you understand Laughing

. Just geting a bit too excited with my new toy Wink

Throw the TT one in the garbage, This one is not bulletproof but it is the one that will probably keep you clean.
