As a newbie, please don't jump down my neck but my Garmin Nuvi 660 updates the database twice a week from the Garmin/Cyclops site. Having found this site I was interested because it seems more informed however, when I saw that the latest camera database was 30th May warning bells rang.
The question I ask is why does garmin update twice a week and this site does not? I know it costs more for the garmin updates but I want to be safe rather than sorry and know when I am approaching ALL possible sites even though I watch my speed and do not agree with speeding. Ones concentration can momentarily lapse and miss a site.

Thanks for any advice, sorry if I am going over old ground.

Last update was 18th June.....

Garmin one may be updated more often but this one is generally considered more accurate and comprehensive.

No database will 100% no matter how often it is updated. Any section of road is a "possible site".

Finally if you are a subscriber to the PGPSW database and you are the first to submit the location of a new FIXED position camera you'll get a free lifetime subscription.

I have no idea where to look to find this information, I am only a newbie with a satnav just learning what can be done with them. If you know how I can check for your question I will take a look.

Thanks for the reply, who exactly considers it to be more acurate and where is the evidence?

I understand about submissions but again have no idea how to go about saving any locations I find on the Nuvi and subnmitting them. Perhaps I will learn this as I go along.

Most of the users here - and there are many thousands of us... Laughing

Seriously - it's a very good database put together by a great team and getting information from out in the field by we users.

I have a nuvi 660 - the way I do possible new camera locations is by using the screen capture mode. This sets it up to take a snapshot of the map when you depress the on/off switch on the top. There may be other ways - but this works for me. You can download the image to your PC and use the map facility on the speed camera page here to submit your camera.

Thanks for that, I will give it a go when I am out and about, your advice much appreciated. :D
