    got one of these in the Great Somerfield/Kwiksave clearout for £39.

    I like it, it gives voice announcements of approaching speed cameras and tells you to slow down if you are going too fast. It acts as a speedo too, giving a visible digital speed readout.
    Its database is much more accurate than the Inforad Toad (recently on offer at DSG mainly PC World for £29.97), which just beeps and does not indicate which side of the road the camera is, unlike the Talex which knows the way the camera is pointing. The Talex also has a red light camera and mobile camera site warning, whereas the Inforad does'nt.

    Keep an eye on Woolies too,:shocked: as they also stock this unit and are always halving prices to clear older items.

    Well I am surprised at the lack of interest in this post. They will have all gone by now. When I went to get mine there was a big queue for them and there were only about 30 in stock. Good bit of kit for the money.

    I expect that's because most people already have speedometers fitted in their cars.

    you meet some funny men

    and some with a fountain pen

    brad, you can get the Garmin i3 from ebuyer for £125 which if a fully functional GPS that can be used for route guidance and global positioning. On top of that you can install not only speedcam database (£2 from pocketgpsworld.com) plus thousands of points of interests for free. I am actually amazed that there are people who pay money to buy things like the Talex and more pay expensive subscriptions to get their database updates. i am sure that is one reason why people arenot very interested in this post.
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????
