 |
|
Sorry if this has been asked before.
I use the PosketGPSWorld Speed Cam database Uk and have no issues with it.
Owners of the latest Tom Toms say there is a database in the Tom Tom Home area just for them because they have recentyly bought etc.
Question. Is this Tom Tom database as good as PocketGPS or possibly better?
Anyone used it? |

| I did try using it on a 100 mile trip home having picked up my 910, my PDA was next to it on the dash running the PocketGPSWorld database for a comparison, in the 100 miles the TT offering missed 10 fixed cameras, so I took it off the device, I guess this gives you a basic idea to start with - mike |

Well you could take that view, however having tried both offerings I know which one I would trust - IF the TT offering were better then I could quite easily have used that, or even put both databases on the device.
When you have tried both databases why not re-post your findings? - Mike |

Agreed, but if its like their petrol station database, I wouldnt advise the OP noyt to bother with the TT one! the one time I was running on vapour TT took me miles out of my way to a tiny village that looked like it had _never_ had a garage,and certainly didnt have one now.
