lomoto Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I fancy updating my Sat Nav with one of the new type with the speed camera locations included, to tidy up my dash and get rid of the Road Angel.. Anyone got any recommendations ? I dont need Europe mapping as I have that on the sat Nav I have already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I've got the BMW Pro Sat Nav and I've added Speed Cameras as POI's which is about the only way. Go for a Tom Ton and you can download then from pocketgps.co.uk for £2.. The Tom Tom also gives you an audible warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want one of the new wide screen 510, 710 or 910 depending on hich maps you want. I believe these fit in the cubby.

Ian Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Ive got the tomtom 710. It fits perfect in the cubby and has so far picked up every camera ive passed. It also picks up possible camera van locations which gets annoying after a while as its constantly alerting you on the motorway. When I bought mine the camera pack was included free, not sure if they still are though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought mine the camera pack was included free, not sure if they still are though I downloaded my camera locations from pocketgps and you can choose which cameras you want, i.e. you can choose to exclude mobile sites. I've included the mobile, but since mine are only POI's I don't get an audible warning anyway. Pocketgps has the Tom Tom format too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 You should have said Tim, Ive got the Tom Tom, you could have had a look at it in action. Ive not downloaded the camera database again yet, but will do. Ive got the TomTom 700 Go. This one has europe, and a small hard disk built in so you can store all the databases you like - speed cameras for example. The equivalent is the 910, but my dad has the 510, and that has a speed camera database loaded as standard I beleive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prescience Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Tim, You can have these on any TomTom model; I have bog-standard TomTom 300 since I was not interested in Euro maps etc. Good solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 mind you, you were a bit preoccupied when we met up Thanks for the visit today Tim, you identified a few extras on this car that I didnt realise I had. The Autosol brought up the exhausts a treat. I got a buffing attachment for the drill and managed to get the inside of the tailpipes nice and shiny. The twin silencers underneath are now a mirror finish! The TomToms fit in the cubby just great, not loose either so they dont rattle about. At least thats what I find with my lift up cubby cover, I dont know if its any different with the ones that have the cover slide up and "into" the dash.
