DANGER! Is Your Company's UK Speed Camera Database Accurate?

Don't damage your brand...

PocketGPSWorld.com produce the community driven and massively popular UK Speed Camera Warning Database, the first comprehensive database of its kind. It is widely regarded as the most used, most trusted and best available in the UK... and we have recently launched our International Speed Camera Database!

We are regularly told that other Speed Camera Databases cannot compete for location volume and accuracy.

We receive several thousand notifications of new, deleted and altered cameras each month from our fast growing 280,000 member community and, of course, our own team at PocketGPSWorld.com.

We take not one of these submissions on trust - all locations are visited and physically checked by our dedicated team of verifiers or more than one submitting member (often several) for each camera position.

There are currently over 13,000 cameras in the database, including static, mobile, average and traffic light cameras.

Increase sales...

A "Free Safety Camera Warnings" splash or sticker on your boxes or website will have a marked impact on your sales volume.

Many companies are already prominently promoting our database online, in print and on the shelves as a major benefit for their products and are therefore increasing sales.

Robert Brady

Business Editor / Director

Robert @ PocketGPSWorld.com

 

Back in the early 80s, when Robert first got hooked on computing, he decided to write all of his own accounting software with his shiny new Commodore 64. Whilst he says this was very enjoyable and hugely satisfying, when all the code (and months of hard work) was complete, he actually found it quicker to use pen and paper! He decided to leave the coding side of things to others. After a brief fling with composing computer generated music on the C64 (painfully bad, he says), Robert never touched another computer for about 10 years.

Then came the World Wide Web. After a freelance career in customer service management and executive research, Robert got very excited about the possibilities and potential of this new tool for e-commerce. He established his first website, in 1995. It was the first comprehensive online shopping directory. It links to millions of sites, services and products and now has over 800 advertisers, showing up to 10 million ads monthly. He is also the owner of over 30 newer business-to-business and consumer websites including Ed-u.com, the Education Mega-Site.

Robert also provides marketing and e-commerce services for several other websites, including multinational and international corporations and has been successful in creating substantial and sustainable business for many companies. Along with fellow PocketGPSWorld.com team member Mike Barrett, he was recognised by the UK Government E-Commerce Awards for the marketing and development of the best new UK e-commerce site for 2003.
