If you only want it for the UK I have just bought a new version Tomtom One. There's also a European version for about £60 more now.
So far I can't fault it. Really easy to use, great routing and I have installed the pcoketgps traffic camera loacation database which seems really good! Haven't been near a camera, or suspect mobile site yet that hasn't been on there.

I have the TomTom 510. Works pretty well for me and if you subscribe to the Traffic and the Speedcamera facility it makes even more useful.

tom tom one for sat nav and a hint of speed camera's but if you want a proper camera detector get a road angel compact for £150 with the laser detector aswell (detector is another £50 but some are bundling free) i have a tom tom one and use it for the camera stuff aswell and will be getting a road angel also for xmas.

Paul there isnt a subscription as for as i am aware for the speed camera database it can be had for free, just needs updating every 3 months or so.
The road angel is £4 a month or something though (first 6 months free)

or ok cheers fella, so i just need to download the cameras onto the tom om then, i think thats right!
pop over to pocketgps world there is a tutorial on how to do it, basically they are POI's (points of interest) each fixed or mobile camera and every speed limit have to be manually added as a POI (around 25ish to do). So you grab the database and all the little graphics which have the speeds on them and copy them over to tom. I think its £2 for the database, pm me if you get stuck and i will see if i can dig you out a database.

Ok guys, been looking on various sites, and I think she likes the http://www.road-angel-alert.co.uk/start.htm
What do you guys think, £300 sounds like a price.

just got a new road angel off ebay for £140 with subcription upto nov 2008
you might wanna look on there
Really dont see the point in radar detectors...Its the mobile camera vans that usualy get you. Or police cars...Not radar based camera's.
Think you'd be better off just getting a Sat Nav..Id suggest a tomtom.

my one has a lazer detecter on it but you need to react really quickly
A lazer jammer is where the police device sends out 7 beams, and you car sends back 8 ( i think) and it reads as an error on the police device
....i think they are illegal though!

ooops. sorryThread moved. I'm sure it's not just Mk1 Leon owners that have experience of Sat nav equipment.
