To get an idea of how many cameras are in the PGPSW database for Spain, have a look at the camera submissions map (click on the "We Need You" finger to the right of this message) scroll and zoom in to Spain. Sorry, not having a Garmin, I am unable to say which has the most. However, The PGPSW Spanish cameras are included in the European Download.

Thanks, but it is hard to tell unless someone has compared both databases. |

@ AS3 Run them both together when you get to Spain and let us know the outcome 
Don't forget, if you report a new one from Spain, you could qualify for a 'lifetime' here
@ Andy. Probably not  It's secret  |

| So now all we need is for AS3 to get the Garmin data, then we can do a comparison and publish the results |

You're getting to be a bit Softysouthernersmartypants. I wasn't going to rub it in, the poor guy's embarassed enough as it is for not R-ing TFM (he doesn't have the same excuse as me).

Sarcstic? Moi? 
Serious point though...Short of actually driving on every road in Spain, how can we compare the two databases if the competition doesn't release any figures?

Can you not simulate a trip round Spain instead of actually driving it. Of course, I would do that, as it would be a satisfying project in my old age but, unfortunately, I don't have a Garmin to try it on  or should it be |
