Speed Detecters.What have you got?

[Anonymous]

I've a GPS Rider (global positioning system)
This is an amazing little device imho. You don't need to have it on the dash, i keep mine under the dash console.Dosn't pick up aircraft signals like some and give false warnings.If theres a camara the Rider certainly does it's job.
Even with your music pumped up at night it has a blue led light which lights up the cockpit to warn you if nearing a speed zone or where mobile camaras/radar are probable.
Also if you are overspeeding=not that i ever do...it will give you a polite reminder, which can be muted if you like   s:P s:P

TomTom 6 on my xda with full European maps and all cameras.
Easy, and works.

Can even be run in the background without showing the maps so it looks like a normal phone to the Gendarmes.

In these days of Satnav's with camera warnings is there still a market for the stand alone camera detector? I know I can get camera warnings on my Copilot on my phone, I just haven't been arsed to do so. Wish I had last june like when I get snapped bombing through Kent  s:-( :-( s:-(

I think so Phil, sat navs i know of dont light up like these little devices so if you've go the music on overpowering the sat nav sound you miss any warnings.
If in my case i see the blue led on bright, i know in good time. Also you only really need to use the sat nav if your in an area you don't know?

If you know the area wouldn't you know the speed cameras too and therefore not need one? Anyway don't speed it's against the law!

Not nessesarily...if i venture a different way, besides it would be a pain to have to think of camara's all of the time. Thats the point of these imo, they do the job for you.I never ss ssspeed Phil-(oops! my stutters back   s:D s:D  )
The idea of these is to remind sensible drivers like myself and many others to take note of the speed limit-so we can be extra careful and adhere to them as good citizens  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Do these detect mobile camera etc?  

Has the law changed?  I thought that at one time they were legal to buy, but illegal to use.. so a big grey area.

The Rider i have picks up the mobile camara's or there designated areas...my friend got a ticket and we could'nt pinpoint the exact spot caught, until we drove down that stretch of road useung the Rider... detected the exact spot where they have the mobile from time to time.
Whos saying they are illegal to use? The data's pretty much the same as a sat nav so how could they be?

[northernalex]

I dont think it was ever made illegal.. but what they were thining about banning is the use of radar/laser detectors.. not GPS based systems.

The lazer ones ar'nt good i found, i had a Japanese 'Super Cat' solar powered detecter for a time. The problem with these there so sensitive to aircraft and other camara's, after a while of constant beeping i had to switch mine off.

4-bands Solar Radar Detector (01/12/2005)
Specifications: * Mounted with a solar battery: Automatically charging from the solar panel to the built-in nickel-cadmium battery. * Windshield & visor mount * Compatible with 4-bands including X, K, New-Kand Ku bands: Not only the X-band, but the model W-8889 is also compatible with the K-band, new K band and Ku bands so as to be compatible with various radar speed traps. * Provision with the Auto Alarm Cut (AAC) system: The built-in oscillation sensor shuts off unwanted alarming sound generated while halting the vehicle or driving it at a low speed. * Auto Power Off function: When non-oscillation condition lasts for about 3 minutes, the power supply source is automatically shut off until the sensor detects a next oscillation, thus saving unwanted consumption of the battery voltage.

There never has been a plan to make GPS based systems illegal.  The Government and Police hanged themselves on this point when they started arguing that Speed Cameras were only ever placed in accident blackspots rather than being money grabbing devices.  Well surely if someone is selling a device that identifies accident blackspots to drivers causing them to slow down then that has to be a good thing doesn't it   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    Counter that argument then!

Not yet illegal to use a laser/radar detector although there have been plans to make it so for some time (Road Safety Bill).  The logic here is in regard to mobile cameras.  If you approach one of those so called "accident black spots" and you know there is not a mobile camera present, then you wouldn't slow down so you are creating a potential hazard.

What is illegal already is a jammer.  This is a direct attempt to interfere with the police in detecting a crime and as such is perverting the course of justice.  Successful prosecutions have already occurred in this area.

The only jammer Alex and i would do is on the breaks...ay ay Alex, we would never dream of perverting the course of justice would we northernalex   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  
30mph then jammer break   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

[evileye_wrx]

The worst people are those who actually drive at 5mph below the speed limit to ensure they don't go over. They just slow everyone down way too much, especially when it's just to prove a point.
