|

I have just bought a Nuvi 265WT and have subscribed to the Garmin camera database already - is the PGPSW database really that much better? |

Personally i think so. I used a 3 month trial of the Garmin database and was appalled.
Have you read this trhead?? |

Yes. No redlight cams in yours for example. But Garmin do have directional alerts. We have the data but Garmin won't let us use it.
Garmin's cost £29 per device, ours is £19.99 for up to three and world wide coverage. And we have a lifetime member offer for reports and of course an entirely transparent service.
Garmin won't allow you to discuss data quality, collection methods or in fact any aspect of it.
More reasons here. _________________ Darren Griffin |

any idea how many cameras the garmin database holds?
Previously i used a road angel and i prefer the way it notifies you of an approaching camera |

Not enough of those that actually do exist and too many that don't exist. |
