Safety Camera Subscriptions.

If i pay the subscriptions for the safety cameras via PayPal, how long will it take to process and be able to download the safety camera data. I am leaving for France tomorrow and would like to install before leaving home.

Thanks Jacko.

If you're using a TomTom, you can set up a route past a camera or two on the map and then run a route "demo" to check all the warnings are working as you'd like. (Keep the demo speed below 300% though or the audio stops)

Andy, Did as you say and it seems to work ok, will give it a full test tomorow and set the warning distances. I suppose that is up to the individual as to what the distances should be, a bit of trial and error i suppose.
Many thanks, Jacko

There is a guide to advised settings for distance etc in the installation guide here.

Don't forget to Double the distance for Mobiles and PMobiles, they can catch you from quite a way off.

And the quick and easy way to remember, that a lot of us use, is 10yards for every MPH for fixed cameras.
So for a 30 mph camera 300yds warning, 40mph = 400 yards etc.

And as Tanda says, double that for mobiles.

Thanks everyone for there help, been out today with it and everything seems ok.
I know that it used to be legal to use sat nav with safety cameras installed in France, is that still the case.

Many thanks, Jacko
