speed cameras wrong

been using the latest database from here since i got it last week and on most roads its fine but over last few days i have changed my route and its telling me there are speed cameras in 250 yards and when it gets to 0 yards i stop to look etc but there is clearly none there.
I get this on 2 roads so if u can tell me how to get the sat position i will post the locations so someone else can check.
All that is there at 1 location is a school crossing patrol with no lights or nothing.

Im on the tomtom 700

When it shows the alert it should say something like ALERT: GATSO 5454. If you get those numbers and then submit them as missing / removed on http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras then they'll be removed when they are verified.

Are you sure these are GATSO locations and not Mobile locations? Mobile locations are not always there (as the name suggests) as they move around from time to time.

lo m8

they are deffo not there and as for knowing if they are mobile locations im not so sure because all that flashes up is the white camera icon on the screen with the warning.No text comes up at all on mine.

found one its this one:

mobile:12198@30 whatever that means

so cause it says mobile this is a van location with gun is that correct ??

Hi buddy2006,

I presume that you’re using the PocketGPSWorld camera database.

certainly beats i spy.

submitted six for changes today.

redlight
9326 speed change 30 to 50
9562 speed change 60 to 70
9437 speed change 30 to 40
9704 speed change unknown to 30
all based on the speed limit of the road the cameras are on and not the adjacent ones.

temp
removal of 10365 and 10386 these are in the m60 j8 to j5 widening project that is coming to an end thus the cameras are being removed.
certainly gone before the next update

not sure whats going on but on a dual carriageway nr where i live they have made the lines longer on the road where the speed cameras are.
When i say longer - i mean longer (twice the lenght of the normal lines)

surely the camera wont pick em up this far or they would of done em like this to every camera in the first place.

Also was a team of workers there with the camera and they had a camera set up on the aisle in the middle of the road while they did more markings.

You sure its not just a temp camera or mobile location, that can be the case depending on what version of the database you downloaded.
