That'll be the VG2 radar detector detection system that the police use abroad (not here, yet!), most detectors have an anti-VG2 feature

there are gps/pocket pc solutions using a package called "tom tom", you can download fixed camera locations onto it, ill find the topic where this was previously discussed for you

Cheers Stephen

That's really helpful

Hi Grahame, I've just tried this link and it appears to be okay:

http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/uksafetycameras.php

You can get your speed, sorry safety , camera databases for tomtom on there

I have been using Ipaq and the tom tom software for a few months in all very good, takes a bit of setting up but once this is done the speed camera, or as you say saftey camera (cough cough) (goverment money spinner),warnings match those from my origin b2.

In all well impressed there are a couple of poi handler links of the tom tom web site, I use the "navigating.de" one, you can also download red light cameras, warnings of on way streets etc.

Oh and there is a link that you can change the voice, I have a very nice lady with a German accent warning me.

As for deals got mine off ebay £300 ipaq, tom tom 3, and full car fitting kit.

All the best Mick

Cheers Mick!

Cheers Mick, sounds just the ticket, i'm going to have a look on ebay now

"Oh and there is a link that you can change the voice, I have a very nice lady with a German accent warning me"

are there any samples of the different voices?

Stephen

The standard TomTom Navigator 3 (latest release) comes with various female and male voices as standard you just choose when setting it up.

One other point to remember.... the HP iPAQ comes in various models and memory sizes I bought a iPAQ 4150 (new model) with 64mb of memory but you will need at least 150mb (I think!!!??) to download all the maps etc so you will need to add on a few quid for an SDA card I went OTT and bought a 512mb card for £85 at PC World. If you are buying a bundle offer they may have an extra card included??

Happy shopping!!

Stephen ..out of interest what was included in the deal with PC world ?? We sell the iPAQ 2210 .TomTom Nav 3 , Specific car kit for the 2210 and a 128mb SD for £419.99
