If it's illegal to use a speed camera database in Ireland, then how are these people irishspeedtraps.com getting away with it? They've been giving interviews on Radio, TV and in most papers about their web site, and now their selling their database for Garmin users with the blessing and help of Garmin. So why can't we get the Irish Database here? I know I can get it in the "Europe DB" but I'd prefer if the Irish DB was stand alone as there's to be a marked increase in Fixed Camera locations in 2008.

it's bundled in with 'europe' as all the countries use kilometres per hour as opposed to the uk's miles per hour

That's fine, makes sense, and thanks for your quick response.

It does make an interesting point about the legality issues though if they can be blatant enough to have that website. And at €35 or £26 per annum for theirs it makes our world-wide multi-format offering much more cost effective.

I had to laugh a little though, take a look at the Copyright text on the download page and then take a look at the same text on ours, coincidence? I think not. I guess it saves them legal costs!

Garmin StreetPilot Devices
A number of our members have tested the Safety Camera database download with StreetPilot devices. They reported problems if you have custom POIs installed on your device. According to the feedback we received if you download our database to a StreetPilot you will no longer be able to access any custom POIs you had already installed on the device yourself. Also if you install any custom POIs after installing our database you will no longer be able to access our database. Because of this we have to warn you that if you download to a StreetPilot it is at your own risk and irishspeedtraps.com cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss whatsoever caused by doing so. We are not obliged to make any refunds for downloads to devices not listed as suitable for use on this page.

If you do not use custom POIs on your StreetPilot then you should be able to download and use our database with no problems. Please note that this problem only affects the Garmin StreetPilot devices. There are no such problems with the Nuvi and Zumo range of devices.


erm, actually it affects ALL garmin devices! you need to upload ALL custom poi's at the same time Wink
