Hi... After the last camera update, I get a warning now for a camera that dont exist? it shows a camera at the end of a dual carriageway, not even the police would put a camera 30 foot from a roundabout  that would be no revenue at all !! |

What's the ID of the camera? Mobile or fixed?

| Good question, it shows a yellow camera icon, to be honest, my navman camera data base, has never shown me mobile speed cams, there is a usual mobile spped camera near me, and it has never shown that one or any other mobile cams on the screen. |

If you can find it on the map on the Speed Camera page and click on the camera icon the camera ID will appear to the bottom left of the map.

Actually, if it shows a yellow camera icon it sounds as if it's a specs camera, and therefore quite likely to be towards the end of a dual carriageway, measuring your average speed along a length of the road. The ID would confirm it.

Sorry, ignore everything I said! I've just realised you're talking about the Navman built-in cameras, not the PGPSW ones.
You might like to have a read of this thread to see why you really should be using the cameras from this site. It would also prevent future confusion with camera colours!

I once got 30 mph camera alert on M25 
A quick glance on map revealed that there was a country road [bridge] cross ing over the motorway and I got alert for that camera. 
Don't miss the fundamental point. Sat Navs are to guide you - not to dictate you. Whether or not they say there is a camera, don't just trust.
Just trust your senses. |
