I've just ordered a New Leon FR 2.0 TDI 150, anyone know if its possible to get Speed trap updates for the Navigation system?
Speed Cameras on Navigation?

With it being ilegal in some european countries I doubt it (Especially when all the Sat Nav info in on the SD card).
It shows a little speed-limit sign in the top left of the screen all the time though......
I also liked that when I drove from France into Belgium that it told me I had changed country and what the standard speed limits were for motorways, a-roads etc in the country I was entering.
It is really good but I think due to it being a car aimed quite widely at the 'European' market they dont want to put anything in/on the car that could break any rules.
True, but as the car would know where it was/is, it would be very easy for the unit not to alert of camera's when not allowed to..
You could just stick to the speed limits
O and don't forget to hog the middle lane or sit in the outside lane at 62 mph pretending your a traffic cop and doing a public service ####
But seriously, while trying to find out what the nav unit model number is on my mk3 so I can fit a rear veiw camera, someone sent me a download from the map maker that seems to have speed camera locations on it.
I haven't tried it yet on my unit for fear of it not being compatible as its ment for a slightly different VW unit, but once I research it a bit more I'll try it and if it works I'll post it on here

An alternative is to get a camera warning app for a smartphone such as CamerAlert which is available for iOS and Android. They charge £19.99 a year to keep the database up-to-date but issue frequent updates based on crowd-sourced info. I have used the version for TomToms for several years.
I see that there is another one for Android, but I have no experience of it.
