| Garmin only allow their own database to be directional. Where a road is a dual carriageways efforts are made to try and get the camera on the right side of the road to minimise false alerts but thats all that can be done. |

True but remember if you are being alerted then you are speeding and there maybe a Police Car around the next corner, or even behind you. Treat it as an extra warning about your speed. Also some cameras are reversible so they change their direction from time to time.

Persoanlly i use the PGPSW database.
It updated more often, cheaper, more accurate and as a Subsciber you have the oppertunity to win a Free Lifetime Subscition. |
