Hi guys,
While looking on the net, I came across this page advertising a new Camera detector:
http://www.speedcameralocator.com/promo/

Now what really impressed me was:
Mobile Speed Trap Detection
This is really where the competing products fall down. There is no good reason for this because the Police BY LAW must announce seven days prior to operating mobile speed traps in a new area exactly where they will be doing so.
...and to be fair to the Police, they do this because it is systemised and doesn’t require anyone to make the announcement -- in order to get signoff on a new location, it must be automatically added to the database and just needs someone to download it, which we do every day.
This makes it easy to update all mobile speed camera locations with 100% accuracy BEFORE the Police ever start using them.
The only reason I can imagine that competitors to the BTST Locator do not update these locations regularly is because you need to pay someone to do it (which we do).
So now we had a database that is 100% accurate and that no other speed camera detector will ever be able to use (remember our shareholding in the mapping company -- we have the exclusive rights to the fixed speed camera locations database and we will NEVER allow any rival to use these locations).
The mobile speed trap database sounds excellent and apparenty no other competitor can offer this service, since the latest locations are downloaded weekly! It looks similar to the Pogo - but must admit not as nice looking.
Anyone ever seen it or heard of the BTST #2?
It is on sale at the link above for £195!!
