Well.. I'm not sure how appropriate is to post this as it my consider a competitor for this site :P but i received an e-mail from Garmin saying that I can try for free their camera database for 90 days so I thought to give it a go. Has anyone done the same? Its also interesting that the cameras are not transferred as POIs but I think they are integrating to the map (or maybe as an invincible POIs) Does anyone knows if this is any good and/or if I can remove them later?

do a search in the forum - there's lots of threads on this. the general consensus is that they are twice as expensive (£39 per year as opposed to £19 per year), not as accurate, not as up to date and they don't offer any way to get free subscriptions...

feel free to try them as a comparison and make your own mind up!

Thanx, I'll do that. The thing is since I told you that it did not came as Standar POIs is it possible to remove it later? As If I get the database from this site later it will have a conflict with the other database

You can either delete the file that Garmin use, or simply turn it off within the menu system.
