The Official Why Choose The PocketGPSWorld.com Database?
Quite simply, within the UK, it is the best and we’re rapidly expanding to cover more countries.
In brief:
we have thousands of members submitting camera locations – with registered users exceeding 300,000, and a high proportion of database users actively submitting hundreds of new camera locations and changes as they appear. We capture cameras faster and more accurately than any other database available
members own a wide range of GPS devices, covering the spectrum of manufacturers – users of all the leading brands reporting camera locations, with a greater number of reports than each individual manufacturer would achieve
support forum for cameras and GPS devices – members are knowledgeable and world wide for all devices, answers to your questions posted almost instantly
more cameras than other databases – UK database contains more than 11,000 cameras, whilst some competitors’ database contain as few as 5,000 cameras for the same region. Our database also contains camera locations for 38 countries (and growing rapidly) – all for the one low price. Please click here for a breakdown of cameras by country/type
mobile cameras included – locations for mobile camera locations are included in the standard database, with unverified ‘provisional’ mobile locations being available as an additional download
stringent verification process - camera verification is an important part of our service and it is this that makes our database stand out from the competition. Please click here for the "A Day in The Life of a PocketGPSWorld.com Verifier" article. If you click here you will get further insight as to how seriously our community takes verification of just one disputed camera location. This is just one example of many similar forum threads - all 'disputed' submissions are taken just as seriously.
transparency - we tell you how we do it and what we've got - you never know these things about other databases
regular updates – for many years, we have published our database monthly and in recent years, members have been benefiting from better frequency of fortnightly updates. Whilst we remain basically committed to monthly issues, from October 2008 we are endeavouring to provide updates every week, on Wednesdays.
compatible with a wide range of devices - Please click here for the compatibility table.Note: if your device is not listed, please ask whether your device is compatible, as it may well be
free lifetime subscription – when your camera submissions meets qualifying criteria, an incentive for members to submit camera sightings. Please click here for the qualifying criteria
our price is lower than many others – all of the above with excellent value for money
multiple devices – if your family owns more than one, the PGPSW licence allows you to download the database for up to three devices (same or different brands) in your household
