Speed Cameras Pre-Installed on New Tomtoms

Offer ends 30 April 2007.

All TomToms now come with a free database of safety camera locations.

So if your thinking of buying a satnav from a shop make sure they are aware of the offer.

Do you know when the offer started?

Andy.

i dont, i would imagin the start of this week.... why have you just bought one?

when did you buy it?

Owen

Bought it on 18th Feb from Amazon with free western europe map, should be delivered by end of this week, so i bet ive missed this offer.

Andy.

Isn't the database only about £1-2 assuming you pay for it?

It's not that cheap if you buy it from TomTom. It's more around the £20 mark I think

Get it from pocketgps people then?

Yeah they're database is quite good, the best I've seen for aftermarket speed cameras... Garmin's speed camera database does top it though, and the alerts are much better, however it doesn't alert you to Red Light Cameras (as of yet) which is handy. Also you have a TomTom so me telling you this is pointless

Have a surf on the internet, and you should come up with some speed camera POI sites, however as I've said, as far as I know PocketGPSWorld is the best... Please correct me if I'm wrong though

if you need them give me a shout

i can mail them with the instructions

you have mail

Cheers dude!

Appreciated

My Sis just bought a TT510 from Halfords, shouls she have been given some sort of card to buy this offer?

There is speed camera warnings already on the unit cos I looked just wondering if this offer is the subscription for a year or not?

It's 30 Euro if anyones wondering.

yeah go back and ask for the sticker (it's yellow btw)

if they dont have any tell them you want them to get one in from another store.

they will probibly say "the offer doesn't exist" if so get them to phone the Borehamwood store and ask Dave or danny, or Carlos the manager, they will confirm that the labels should be included with the satnav taped to the outside. and should have come in with last weeks stock.

if they start getting pissy, just say right in that case, i want a refund and i'll go and buy one from another store.

when it comes to getting anything done with halfords, remember the rules:
1.) be nice as soon as you start getting uptight they wont want to help you
2.) a fit girl always helps (get your sister to flirt a bit :P)
3.) customer is almost always right, make sure you speak to the manager (but first speak to the ripspeed staff)


good luck.

Owen

yes but its free if you contribute a camera location, or download from p2p or torrent.

pocketgps is the best available because it is updated constantly, covers all types of camera, and has many more locations than any other vendor. its made by the people for the people.

tomtom is out of date before you even get it. its only good for gatsos

PocketGPS world database is free, and is good, but is only as good as the people who upload to it.

It's good in some areas and in others (like mine) it's rubbish. Less than a quarter of the many speed cameras in my area were on the last update. That's why I voted to go for (And pay the extra) the Garmin Speed Camera Updates. Fantastic the way they work with the unit, and I've been quite a few places recently and it's never missed a camera. It's also directional so doesn't give you false alerts
