A few years back i use to have a top of the range Snooper,cannot recall what the exact model was but it burnt out and never replaced it,but it did work 'reasonably well' but it did trigger off for no specific reason when going past factory units etc,possibly operating on the same frequency etc.Never replaced it after then,these days i just use my TomTom speed camera data base which of course is just for fixed cameras and not the sneaky mobile speed cameras.

Must admit the older that i am getting i am finding my speed is also slowing down as well,so prehaps all i need is just the fixed camera data base as on the SatNav.

I used to have Road Angels but now just keep an annual sub going on the Garmin in the car.  Cheaper and (IMHO) more up to date.

Pass, but it's a £16 a year subscription and just adds them in via a download.  If linked to a phone then it will live update the mobile ones when 'active' but I have never used it in this way.

Simples.....................

Get the WAZE app on your phone/tablet.

Its the best I have found so far and its real time and above all its completely free.

I travel the length of the country a few times of the year and we all use it in my family and have found it faultless.
