 |

Hi,
On the A449 heading out from Worcester to Kiddermisnter there are 2 sets of new Gatso cameras that have been put up inthe last couple of months. I have just bought the X970T today, updated the software, updated the camera database (The ViaMichelin ones) and drove past these but they are not on the system.
They are on this sites data base because I subscribe to this site as well with my old Garmin I3. One of the cameras very aprox position is http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GB|ombersly#t=l&map=52.24086,-2.22097|14|4&loc=GB:52.23901:-2.22741:14|ombersly|
I have sent an email to viamichellin support as well to see if these can be added on.
Thanks
Jlo |

On the subject of fixed cameras I recently travelled down the M42 southbound around Birmingham.
The variable speed cameras that are all over the place here are NOT correctly recorded on the VM camera database since there were numerous occasions when I was warned of cameras where there clearly weren't any and yet where there were cameras the unit remained blissfully silent.
You have been warned as they say  |

Interestinly I compared the Pocketworld GPS map of the speedcameras with the camera database on my x970T and it has free cameras marked on the M42 in the same places. I beleive some of the 'boxes' are dummies' as my Garmin I3 with the Pocket world Database only alerted to a few on that road.
Best wishes

Whilst accepting that dummy boxes do exist the fact is that the VM was giving warnings of cameras where there were no boxes at all on the gantries i.e. whether live or otherwise. |

Thats a fair point!
