    I came across the Gatso location's in the UK in long & lat format while trying to help out a friend who's brought a TomTom Go car navigation system.

    Gatso locations here

    The long & lat setting also might be of use if people use Mappoint or autoroute to create routes :D

    BTW the TomTom Go is a real nice bit of kit.

    In which case, why did you bother buying a Toyota Corolla T-Sport?

    Does it also include Truvellos (?) - the ones that get you as you're approaching them?

    Erm ok.... but I fail to see the attraction of buying a 190 bhp car that looks like a 1.6 and drives like one unless you revs the nuts off it, and then not using any of its potential ;)

    whilst i agree with john in principal (stick to the speed limit). i do think that the limits are way out of synch with the modern world.
    motorway limits should be raised and limits outside schools and through busy town centers should be lowered.
    cheers

    Pocket GPS has started mapping out the UK and Europe with Fixed and Mobile cameras including GATSO's and Truvelo cameras, and also including regular mobile laser sites, motorway bridge hangout points for Traffic Police cars. People like yourself help report any new cameras, moved cameras or any cameras that have been removed to keep the database current, so it is a group collaboration. The government has changed the name of the cameras recently to safety cameras, and are only permitting these at regular accident blackspots. Our database should help you not only learn what areas are dangerous to drive in, but to help cut your speed so you don't need to worry about whether you are over the speed limit or not. If you start to cut your speed, it's part of the way there, if you then continue to do this throughout all roads you're less likely to have an envelope come through the letterbox with a prize winning photo of yourself.

    The government has renamed them safety cameras, tell me what's so wrong knowing where accident black spot cameras are ?

    Did I ever approve of speeding ?

    It's really none of you business. together with which what I said that the way not to get caught speeeding is not to speed. that's not to say i don't ever speed it's just that most of the time i don't.

    I've never seen that happen.

    There's no way there are that many accident black spots in Slough! I've never seen so many cameras in one town.

    Batfink #8 was a comment from another web site that I cut and pasted.

    I have seen cameras removed BTW, there are about 5 on my way into work, I think someone took a hacksaw to one of them.
