We have cameras for Spain and France in our European Database download. This is available to all subscribers.
It is not yet as comprehensive as our UK one but that does of course mean lots more opportunity to report cameras and qualify for the lifetime subcription

as it is already on a thread in this forum i dont think anyone will mind if i also point you in the direction of the scdb site, which is also subscription, but only a nominal charge

Yes, we separate them so the European one can have KPH alerts.

Understood, but it is still early days for your European database, and I am not sure you have the user base in European countries to help you build up quickly, especially when compared to sites such as Radars en France |

Actually you'd be surprised, still, we have to start somewhere

You could have reminded them that that means more opportunities for free lifetime subscriptions too, Darren  |

You mean like the reply I posted above where I said | Quote: | | It is not yet as comprehensive as our UK one but that does of course mean lots more opportunity to report cameras and qualify for the lifetime subscription |

Possibly.... 
I don't think I should have been allowed out today. Four days of running fireworks displays around the country and I came back to work today for a rest, but I seem to be on another planet!  |

|
|
hi, I was recently in spain with my tomtom xl europe (v2) and uploaded the latest speed camera database from this site (25th Oct '07). I began to get a whole different set of sounds, suddenly, but also two places where I couldn't see any need for them. no cameras or pois, nothing.
one such place was as I approached a roundabout at N 38.71569, E 0.05767.
but there are no cameras there as far as I can see. Can anyone kindly explain in what way I am being a fool again?! |
