| Have a look at Gatso 706@30 this appeared for a VERY short period in the PGPSW database (I remember requesting deletion of said camera) and somehow it is still in the TomTom database, strange fact is there has never been a Gatso or mobile speed camera at this location - figure it out!!! - Mike |

You ought to seed a couple of phony ones in the PGPSW database and, when they appear in the TomTom offering, sue them. It's a disgrace that a company as wealthy as TomTom will not pay royalties on a database that, it is alleged, they have stolen

Whoa, we're not alleging any such thing! We couldn't afford to! I merely suggested it was an amazing feat for them to have gathered all the information they did in such a short space of time.
However, it's clear they don't have use any of our data anymore (if they did before of course!) as their database is so woefully inaccurate!

You'd have thought that while they were visiting all those cameras, they could have re-surveyed some of the mapping errors at the same time!
THAT seems to take YEARS to get round to...  |

Hmmm. I get a speed limit sign for a Gatso (most times), except I sometimes get a symbol resembling a Gatso pole and offset camera. I get a tripod for Redlights, except sometimes I get a speed sign for a Redlight. I think!
But I can affirm that today they at last have their equivalent of Gatso:666@40 showing 40mph (and not a Gatso symbol) - it always used to be at 50 on earlier maps.
