Official TT speed camera database & TT One v2

Bobby_t_16v

Can you have the voice wanrings work with the official database from TomTom and can you have it to tell you the speed of the road?

Please excuse me if this has been asked before as im vefy new to it all, and havent even got my TomTom yet (its a xmas present). I know its the TT 1 v2 regional.

Also if there is anything else anyone can recommend for me to get the best out of this unit. I was considering getting the combination of the Camera database and Traffic but im unsure if the traffic will work with me phone (being the 3 network and after contacting 3 not really getting anywhere)

Thanks in advance

Robert.

Thanks, im was thinking most people would have recommended the camera database on here as a few already had.

What about the voices with spped limits with the tomtom speed camera database ?

Darren drives 40,000 miles a year, I've already driven 49,000 in the last 9 months (and I'm having a slow year!). I tried TT cameras just for a couple of days with my new (1st December) GO710 and they were rubbish. I wouldn't be without PGPSW camera database which I've been using for about 16 months now. The comparison with the TT ones just isn't worth mentioning. And quite right, all you can have is bleep at the distance chosen by Tom Tom. With PGPSW I can have a nice lady shouting "Ey up Lad .. speed camera ahead, speed limit 40 miles an hour" when I've got 1,000 yards to go, or any other distance I fancy.

As for Traffic. Well, I had thought what a brilliant idea, I'll go for this. But I've read all the horror stories about TT's nice new RDS TMC or whatever it's called and there's no way I'll touch that. With the new GO I gave a try to the (free trial) TT Traffic via GPRS (Vodafone contract, Nokia 6230i). It worked beautifully. But then I found it was not greatly up to date - last Friday as I drove up the M5, I saw on the southbound side an accident clearing up nearly finished, with traffic already flowing again. It wasn't on the TT traffic (I had it set to update every 15 minutes). As I returned about an hour later, the Traffic suddenly changed to show the accident and 34 minutes delay. Too late - it was already clear. So, whilst the GPRS Traffic service obviously works, I decided not to bother because it costs (subscription plus GPRS charges) and I can easily get just as good information by having Radio 5 (693 & 909 AM) on whilst I'm driving.

What is the update periods ?

Reading over the various threads i know many people have said it is a waste, but i was hoping that tomtom had possibly updated their system to provide a better service. Im thinking i wont be going for the traffic but definatly for the camera's via here and possibly the verbal warnings. Im just looking to find the person of preference.
