Sat Nav Reviews

Below are a selection of reviews for the leading satellite navigation systems with an emphasis on speed cameras - whether you are searching for a Christmas present or you have 9 points on your driving licence - a GPS speed camera detector can save you points, increased insurance premiums, time and money!

There are many sat navs out there to buy which include speed camera locations in some form be it a third party POI (Point of Interest) database or a manufactures database. Rather than simply reviewing them all (as we've done in the past), we're reviewing the best ones that in addition to navigating you from A to B, also alert you best to speed camera locations across the UK and Europe.

The best sat nav for the job of alerting to speed cameras in our opinion is the Snooper sat nav range. Why? Put simply it's only Snooper devices that use the AURA speed camera database. The AURA database is updated ever single day (most other databases are at best updated on a weekly basis), in addition Snooper have a range of speed camera detectors some of which have the ability to be updated live by the end-user such as the Snooper Lynx GT LIVE. The information is then also fed into the AURA database. The net result of which is one the best speed camera databases available!
