Pocket GPS or CheckPOInt Speed Cameras??

stevei

OK! I know that this is the Pocket GPS site and I know that a lot of hard work goes into the speed camera database but I would like some honest opinion as to which database is better, the one that synchronises with checkPOInt or the Pecket GPS one. At the moment I am sticking with the Pocket GPS database.

Hi stevei
Wow, you are getting about. Well, I haven’t heard of the Pecket GPS site so I can’t comment on its quality. But I do know about this checkpoint site and I have found it brilliant. I can’t think of anything bad to say about it, and its free. One doesn’t need to be a boy racer to run foul of the law these days. All it takes is a lapse of concentration for a few seconds as one passes the yellow camera, and flash! Points on the licence and spending money gone,
Checkpoint has saved my pocket and driving licence on more than one occasion and I am thankful for that.

I know Oldie does a great job but that sounds like he goes round in his car checking them all out. Wink

Hi Bo Peep
I’m afraid it was just a joke, a pointless joke too. Stevie had accidentally spelt ‘pocket’ as ‘peckit’. I will stay serious from now on.

Hi Stevei
I hope that you now have your Checkpoint working and have tried it out in anger on the road. I have a warning set to come on 20 seconds before the camera but haven’t bothered about a second warning. I suppose that you realize you can save any ‘wav’ sound file to give you the warning. Mine certainly wakes me up if I’m day dreaming 20 seconds before the camera.
As for the single letter spelling mistake saga I hope that we are still friends. Sorry.
