Road Angel or Snooper Aura Database?

I gather dear Mr Clarke is going to put up the min penalty for speeding to £100. This has rekindled my interest in safety camera alerts. I'm not arguing that PGPSW has the most accurate d/b, but I'm hankering for something that updates as soon as I turn it on and only requires me to pay the annual subscription. So the question I have is which is the better maintained d/b RA or Aura?

Perhaps you could ask on their own user forums?

Excuse me Mr. Audi. Which is more reliable, Mercedes or BMW? Shocked

And, does it really matter how quickly it updates, if the data is poor, out of date or simply wrong?

If you have an Android or IOS smartphone, then our CamerAlert app offers more functionality, a map, instant updates and more, might that be an option?

No argument:

PGPSW is the best database
I'm a bit of a technophobe
Also a bit lazy

No need to apologise, it was like being savaged by lambs.

Thanks Darren need to brood on this for a while.

As a pointer, the Android phone I'm referring to is an Orange San Francisco II. A £99 smartphone that is an update the MKI which has been very popular.

Internet, email, camera etc and a GPS for £99 on PAYG.

And if you're not an Orange customer, it's unlockable very easily and free of charge so you can insert the SIM of your choice. Add our app at 69p and a subscription and you're away.

When you have finished being broody, you will come and tell us what's what won't you Love it

@Darren. I'm with Orange PAYG. I might just have a look at that phone for myself. Good tip.
@Guivere. I'm an old codger as well, but it's the first time that I have been compared with a lamb.

I'm a real Luddite when it comes to mobiles (I actually had one with Bluetooth once but I put it in the washing machine so I'm back to one which makes calls and texts, NOTHING else).

But I must admit I'm tempted by that Orange San Francisco.

I'm on Orange PAYG, what's a ball park for how much it's going to cost me a month on PAYG over and above my normal call charges (minimal)? I just feel I might end up spending more than one of the ~£28 contracts

Or is it 'how long is a piece of string'?
