I hear the lazer detection for mobile cameras isn't worth it. Because it will only show up the camera when they have zapped you once. You then have about 1 second to get back down to speed.

A guy tried to sell my dad one at the Motor Show. We picked him apart with regard to the features and how they don't really benefit.

You also have to pay for updates iirc.

I'd look at getting sat nav with speed cameras built in.

My mate has on in his 106 QS, but uses it as a speedo, as his speedo is 7 mph out at 20 mph

Its over 10 mph out at 70...

Like I said, they will only make a noise and alert you if they have zapped you. Because they need an average, they will zap you at least once more, by which time you need to get your speed down. Hit and miss really. I just tend to abide by town speed limits etc where them cameras are.
