Hi DennyL,
In fact, in my area, I have found the PocketGPSWorld camera database to be far more accurate than the Morpheous database. The PGPSW database shows the cameras in the correct place, and as you pass them, the SatNav display shows the cameras being passed at the same time.
Please bear in mind that the Geodesy doesn’t display a map, and only has 10 LEDs. The Geodesy thinks you’re alongside the camera for at least 25 metres either side of it.
As I said, this is just for my area. On the A40 (Burford to Cheltenham) the PGPSW data is 100% accurate, whilst the Morpheous warns of cameras that have long since been removed.
I went up to the Lake District, with my girlfriend, a few weeks ago. We used the M42 and the M6. Both databases had the temporary road works cameras (again the PGPSW was spot on). In the Lake District the PGPSW database warned of Mobile sites (all of which looked the sort of place camera crews would ambush people).
To sum up, I don’t drive many different places, but where I have driven, the PGPSW database has been accurate. Of course should I spot a camera that wasn’t on the database then I would add it and report it.
What’s your area, and how have you found the accuracy of the PGPSW database? How does the accuracy of the Origin B2 compare to the PGPSW database?

"To the best of my knowledge this enhancement required the new maps to work properly, therefore they had no alternative but to charge the upgrade fee. "
According to the people on the expansys forum the postcode search works with old maps, would be interesting to see if it's true.

Privateer, I live in Berks and for navigation I'm still using an early version of Mapsonic on my Palm PDS. This doesn't accept speed camera POIs. The first speed cam warning system I had was a Morpheous bought on Ebay, so I know what you're talking about. Now I have an Origin B2, and have only good things to say about it, and I haven't every spotted shortcomings in it's database, which I update weekly, at a cost of £50pa.
I always assumed that a professionally maintained database would be better than one maintained by volunteers and updated irregularly, and I'm pleased to see that I might have been wrong.
