Anyone know how often / what days this gets updated ?

Blackspots website is appaling for information - all they are bothered about is selling the units Im sure.

I agree, very poor, especially when compared to the GPS world database available for free here.

The PGPSW one is far from perfect but it is a damn sight better than the Road Angel one.

I took my Road Angel back within a week.

Richard is also interested in details of cameras that are temporary at roadworks, or at red lights (speed limits don't matter for these - I'm not aware of any 'red light and speed limit' cameras in the UK, but that doesn't mean there aren't any).

It may also be worth mentioning if you're aware of a fixed camera site being bidirectional (can be adjusted to catch drivers on either side of the road) or if it only covers one direction - in which case, which direction. I don't believe any systems currently make use of direction of travel in association with our database, but that doesn't mean that a future system won't. I don't know whether Richard is recording 'direction' data at present.

If a camera is in the database as a speed camera or red light camera, but it's actually a bus lane camera, CCTV installation or Trafficmaster equipment, do let Richard know rather than just saying that the camera is false. That way he can keep a record as to why the camera is false, so that it won't find its way back into the database in the future. I've notified a few bus lane cameras in London to him, to stop them creeping back into the database.
