Pocket GPS Database v. Roadpilot

[rossh]

anyone got any feeling for the database coverage of the roadpilot v. the pocket gs database? I know some of the caterham 7 guys have been a bit scathing re roadpilot coverage...

The problem with most databases is they are very cagey about giving out this sort of information. We tried to get this for the reviews we wrote of the Geodesy, RoadPilot and RoadAngel and when we asked, all we got on the other end of the phone was someone laughing. We are very open with how many cameras we have in our database. It's by no means complete as there are over 4000 cameras in the UK and more are springing up on a daily basis, but it goes a long way to help avoid those tickets by keeping your speed down, and it's free.

I was wondering the same thing, as i want to incorporate a navigation system and a GPS speed camera warning system into one device. From reading this forum i suspect that the best PDA camera database is the one from PocketPC but how does this compare to the purpose built speed camera devices databases, like roadangel, cyclpos etc. etc. I've seen adverts that offer free driving ban insurance if you get snapped by a camera whilst using their GPS detectors which, on the surface, makes them look pretty confident that they have all the cameras in their database.
