Paul, check out www.pocketgps.co.uk=20

If you have Tomtom's Navigator there is plugins for the POI database and
so=
me are free too. The database in POI format for Tomtom is free on there
sit=
e. Because it is free, it is quite small compared to the commercial
version=
s you can buy.

Trafcam is another option that is now available with a plugin for
Navigator=
. This is not free and there is a yearly fee of =A379 for updates.

I have the free one and the free database and it works quite well,
although=
information on cameras north of the border is very thin so I avoid speedin=
g :o)

I know there are a couple of standalone devices that do just this (Road=20

nearly all the hardware and software required to add this function. (OK, =

Road Angel has a laser detector as well, but still...)

Does anyone know of either:

A standalone application which can run on the iPAQ which contains an=20

An add-in to the existing GPS software that defines all the camera locati=

as points of interest...
