GPS with speed camera service and POI - let's make it clear

The purchase of a GPS is sometimes dictated by the need to find the right way to an unknown destination, by the convenience of having along the path an estimation of distance and time of arrival and/or to detect in advance so hated speed cameras...

This reasoning can arouse the interest of people who do not have a good relationship with technology and then looking for navigators that "detect the speed cameras".

It must be noted that purchasing a GPS navigator the most important thing, besides the features are the maps: they must be fairly up to date, otherwise past one or two years, the navigator will have outdated information leading to potentially wrong information. The update service is under a payment of a fee (about 40 euros per year) it can be done using a PC connected to the Internet.

Many navigators offer so-called "speed camera service" which signals a few hundred meters ahead the presence of fixed speed cameras on the route. As for maps, updates are paid.

There are POIs or Points Of Interest grouped into categories such as cinemas, hospitals, distributors of fuel, bars, discos, museums and so on. You can choose a POI as a destination address, in which case the comfort of a POI is similar to Yellow Pages, where research is by type of service requested.

Alternatively, you can set your navigator to signal the proximity of a PDI along the way and this is the use for categories like mobile and fixed speed cameras, or tutor systems etc.; such POI, in opposition to "speed camera service" is available for free from the Intenet (www.poigps.com).
