Anyone know how often / what days this gets updated ?

Blackspots website is appaling for information - all they are bothered about is selling the units Im sure.

I agree, very poor, especially when compared to the GPS world database available for free here.

The PGPSW one is far from perfect but it is a damn sight better than the Road Angel one.

I took my Road Angel back within a week.

I’m glad that you find the PocketGPSWorld camera database better than a commercial database. Smile However we want the PocketGPSWorld camera database to be as good as we can make it, if not perfect! This is where everybody who uses the database can play his or her part. Please send in details of new, moved, and deleted cameras and known mobile speed checking sites

Please include the following:
Longitude and Latitude
Speed limit
Site type (Gatso, Truvelo, mobile, Specs, etc)
Direction/heading that camera targets vehicles
Road name and/or number
PGPSW camera database ID number (if previously assigned)

Please send updates to:
Cameras [at] PocketGPSWorld [dot] com

Please help us to help you. Let’s get all of the details of every single camera, and mobile, site accurately recorded so that all of us can benefit.

Regards,

Richard is also interested in details of cameras that are temporary at roadworks, or at red lights (speed limits don't matter for these - I'm not aware of any 'red light and speed limit' cameras in the UK, but that doesn't mean there aren't any).

It may also be worth mentioning if you're aware of a fixed camera site being bidirectional (can be adjusted to catch drivers on either side of the road) or if it only covers one direction - in which case, which direction. I don't believe any systems currently make use of direction of travel in association with our database, but that doesn't mean that a future system won't. I don't know whether Richard is recording 'direction' data at present.


If a camera is in the database as a speed camera or red light camera, but it's actually a bus lane camera, CCTV installation or Trafficmaster equipment, do let Richard know rather than just saying that the camera is false. That way he can keep a record as to why the camera is false, so that it won't find its way back into the database in the future. I've notified a few bus lane cameras in London to him, to stop them creeping back into the database.
