trets77

any recommendations on what Sat Nav would is best to buy for Live traffic updates and routing you around road works ect .

also i read a while back that there was a new type of Sat Nav coming out that people could alert a live database of where mobile Speed cameras were set up . or are they still on the drawing board

None are particularly brilliant at the moment. You'd be just as well listening to traffic reports on the radio.

Most sat navs do have that. But you have to download / update them yourself, they don't push to the device while you are driving.

My MioMoov (£99 for a Euro one!) also has camera warnings, petrol stations, food establishments, motorway services etc...home and abroad!!

Although you are unsure as to which Satnav to buy I can certainly recommend these people https://www.totalpda.co.uk They do some excellent deals on refurbished satnav's. The one I purchased from them was that good it looked new. Good prices and quick deleivery and a lot more for your money than buying from elsewhere.

If you have a Nokia phone with built in GPS, you can get OVI Maps FREE from Nokia. Its a full turn by turn Satnav complete with traffic updates.

The Road Angel Pro-Connected uses a sim card and updates speed cameras as other users submit them. It is NOT a satnav though, purely a speed camera notifier.
