Not sure if anyone will be interested in this but i thought i would share it anyway.

My idea was to give a set timed warning for each camera type taking into account the speed you would be travelling. I set to work using Excel and creating a table of the distances travelled in set time periods at different speeds.

Basically i get 20 second warning for Gatso, 35 seconds for Mobiles and 10 seconds for SPECS.

Unfortunalty the redlight, variable and temp don't come as a speed zoned set so they get the standard 500 yards warning.

MPH / Camera Gatso Mobile Specs
20 196 342 98
30 293 513 147
40 391 684 196
50 489 856 244
60 587 1027 293
70 684 1198 342


For example i set my 40mph Mobile warning to 684 and it gives me 35 seconds to adjust my speed accordingly.

Hope this info is useful for someone.

Matt
