Ah, that one. Indeed, that is a standard functionality of the Bulletin Board software that we chose not to use. It is completely unrelated to the subscription or camera submission features.

I was thinking, that if members sent in camera locations, then that person could also download the new camera database without paying the £2

Why would members submit new locations ? while they are being sold to everyone

I have been grateful for the pgpsw database for the last 9 months (doing about 80,000 miles a year Whitevanman to anywhere UK), even though I NEVER intentionally exceed speed limits.
I bought a new GO910 two weeks ago and sold off my GO700. Because the Go came with free TomTom camera database, I decided to give them a try and they are so bad it's not believable - e.g. pgpsw GATSO666 at 40mph has been on the A48 into Cardiff for years. The TomTom database shows it as 50mph despite the speed limit feature showing the speed as 40mph!! I won't bore you with the dozens of errors I've noted on the TomTom database, suffice it to say I've loaded the pgpsw database and feel comfortable again. Sure, there will always be "errors" in it, notably with temporary cameras - how could anybody make it up to date overnight? But, as earlier contributors have said, if we all submit information as and when we can, the database will continue to be as good as I have found it for the last 9 months. It is my good fortune that I had already contributed data before the charging scheme came into being, so I have a free lifetime membership. But I assure you that my faith in the database was already sufficently strong that I had decided I would definitely buy it monthly and the free membership came as a pleasant surprise. I too have continued to contribute and will carry on doing so.

Oh I see, the reason its crap is because I never paid for it ? So its outdated and tampered with ?

If someone bought it here and gave it to someone else, it does not make it any different to if you had bought it yourself. And just for the record, I did buy it, and was very disappointed.

But there again, not many people have anything to compare it too, visitors here will assume its accurate, and end up paying a fine one day.

Then there is the statement that you shouldn’t drive over the speed limit anyway, if nobody here ever drove over the speed limit, whether deliberately or by accident, then they would not need anything to warn them anyway !!

But the main reason for my complaint, is the way this site is run, it asks people to submit new locations, it does not verify them, it misses accurate information when it is sent, and while all the work is being done for it, it charges people for a very bad database.

New camera locations is the key to a good database, and this database does not have them, instead it uses those that have already been logged many times by many companies.

Visitor,

thanks for making my day.

I have driven 2000 miles through Scotland during a recent holiday, and not once did I find a mistake in the database. Believe me, I tried very hard.

Your statements sound to me as if they are not based on facts.
