Speed trap detection

Due to an unfortunate points situation, I find myself in urgent need of
buy=
ing something to warn me of the presence of speed cameras. I have been
look=
ing at the Road Angel products which use GPS and an annual subscription
but=
the it was suggested that the same can be done with iPaq and a GPS.

As I don't have an iPAQ or any SatNav, I thought I could kill several
birds=
with one stone by going down that route. So what I am looking for is a rec=
ommendation on the components I need to provide PDA, SatNav and camera
dete=
ction/warning.

>From eBuyer I have seen the following:
TOMTOM Navigator 3 - Bluetooth Gps + Map Of Great Britain (060211)
=A3139.3=
2
TOMTOM Holder - For Ipaq 38xx/39xx/4150/5xxx (060971) =A333.89
HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210 Intel XScale 400MHz 64M 3.8"TFT Bluetooth
Pocket PC=
2003 (050344) =A3186.37

So that is a total of =A3359.58 + VAT and then I would need the 'Camera
Loc=
ation' software on top (not sure where I get this).

Does anyone have this sort of set up, how reliable is the SatNav (and
camer=
a detection if you have it)? Does the camera detection software require a
r=
egular subscription? How easy is it to set it all up and to move it from
on=
e car to another? Anything else I should consider?=20
