That's not actually true, they could design accurate Speedos if they wished (GPS/Doppler/Light Trackers) however the cost is not in their interest. However with more and more GPS products/car instill ... |

I would highly recommend the Fortuna Clip-on BT and Tomtom3. These work fantastically (must have the free Postcode plug-in) on my 3970, it also has the major roads of Europe on the UK roads CD. Fort ... |

For your information,
Speed was a significant factor in 7.3% of accidents.
The largest factor was inattention or failing to asses the path of an oncoming vehicle at 10.7%.
Norway has increased i ... |

I do not know about the Cobra, the Bell Euro 550 works great, however they all fail for Laser guns as it only takes 0.3 sec to get an accurate speed, with very small 'scatter' they are also extremely ... |

TimTim,
To answer your question - both!
You are missing the point completely, the law is not the problem! It is the way it is enforced, 99.9% of people are not perfect, change the speed limit (poorl ... |

The problem with the rather naive 'don't speed and you wont get nicked' brigade is that they are either being flippant or stupid. If you drive along the A38 from J22 on the M5 to Bristol it is almost ... |

This will further alienate an already disgruntled general public. Clearly the police and the government do not care about general opinion, speed accounts for only 7% of all deaths on our roads, but p ... |

I too would definitely go for the excellent Digitools Postcode plug-in, I have just used it to get to a B&B in Hampshire and it took me to the door (quite literally!). It is amazing how well it works ... |

BT is just great for me, I use an IPAQ 3970 with a Fortuna Clip-on BT and have had absolutely no problems, obviously you will need to keep the BT GPS either plugged in to power or charged regularly bu ... |

Bluetooth was the way I went and never looked back. Fortuna Clip-on is great, my first Rikaline X7 was rubbish and I had it swapped for the Fortuna. BT GPS works great in most cars, even with reflect ... |
