I'n new to this so please s p e a k s l o w l y !

I have the quest 2 that comes with speed camera and overspeed alerts for the UK.

However will be touring France in July and would like to know if there is a way to add French speed cameras (and if possible Gendarme favourite places!) to the Quest 2?

Many thanks Smile

The Caravan Club article warns whether devices are on or not, if you are caught you face a fine of £1500, the device confiscated and your car impounded and the possibilty of a court apperarance!

Is it worth it??

On my www.elsinga.net/links page you will find lots of links to POI's, among others a french site which has radar traps in France you can download ("telecharger").

B sure to upload both the UK and french POI's in one session. ;)

Thanks for your reply Robert,

I had a look at your site (great site BTW, thanks) however I can only see a link to alertgps.com that seems to be only mobile radar trap sites in France, and doesn't include fixed gatso's?

That download also doesn't mention Quest 2 - are the POI files for Quest compatable with Quest 2?

I did find a zip file in your downloads section called Radar2004-05-01 that includes France, but I'm guessing that this is nearly 2 1/2 years old now - do you know of any updates?

Also I note your advice to upload UK POI's at the same time. I assume this is because any new POI upload erases any existing ones? If so, is there a way to find out, or even extract and re-upload, the existing POI's that come installed on the Quest 2? (sorry if this is basic stuff but I'm new to this!).

Many thanks for your help, Ian

The french site has all types of radartraps AFAIK. And they work for the Quest 2 also.

The file on my site is indeed quite old, www.radarfalle.de has an up to date file (but it is (c), so I can't publish it).

And yes, all POI's are removed with any new upload.

just to put your mind at rest, i have toured France and spain twice this year and saw approx 3 (yes three!) speed cameras and only 1 radar trap, all of which were well advertised and blatantly obvious. Do the clever thing and watch your speed coming into or leaving towns/villages and you should nt have a problem!
