Hi All I have just heard that the Spanish have just banned all speed camera detectors including anything that is on GPS systems from this weekend, I am trying to find out more but if anyone has more info can you let me know.

Speed camera detectors are totally banned – if a car's sat-nav has the facility it must be 'disabled'.

"Detectors" are also banned here and many other countries. That article says nothing about GPS location databases of cameras.

For clarity:

The new legislation expressly prohibits the use of speed camera detectors: drivers caught using them will be liable to fines of 200 euros and the loss of three points on their license. Speed camera jammers are considered much more serious and entail penalties of 6,000 euros and six points off the permit. Only alert systems offering information about the locations of speed cameras based on databases will be legal. Drivers with GPS devices incorporating speed camera detection capabilities will have to deactivate this option.

I've highlighted the relevant bit which suggests standard satnavs with a speed camera database are OK.
