    Navid, are you the person I see driving along obliviously in the middle lane doing 68mph on the empty motorway every morning?

    If it's not you then I apologise, it must be someone very like you.
  • yes the device works in residential areas.

    Had one of these for almost a year now.. Database is always bang up to date (have seen it updated 3 times in the same week and even includes temp cameras set up for roadworks). Subscription kit has to be bought for the light version ( I got mine cheap as a special offer from tesco) but after the initial kit and 12months subscription it is the cheapest subscription on the market. Warnings are excellent and it will even warn you to take a break if you drive for 2 hours without a break. It has no problems with sat locks and even will warn about cameras if you turn round the bend and its within 30 yards of you.( a problem with other detectors) You can also save your own warning locations and customer service is excellent.
  • didn't it win an Award in autoexpress recently??? January speed test cameras...came second I believe?

  • I use the Microfuzion which includes FREE updates for life. See:

    http://www.microfuzion.co.uk/Microfuzion-speed-camera-detector.asp

    I got mine brand new from an Ebay Shop about 1 1/2 years ago.

    Very good device.

    Not very good for comparison... It says its comparing to the Talex and not the lite version yet doesnt list all the Talex features like school warnings and congestion charge zones.. Also price is over £100 pounds out..

    cant find any independant reviews about the device or the database..
  • Our Aldi tells us that this was sold out before Christmas so we have ordered one direct with Talex for £64.99 with free delivery

    This is a refurbished unit but comes with all the guarantees
    Only time will tell if I am right or they are wrong

    I had one of these and sold it for what I bought it for. It works from a data base you have to subscribe to to keep up to date and to be honest for a few quid more you can have a sat nav with this feature
