Do you have a Radar or Speed Camera detection device ?

How many of you have a radar or speed camera detector ? I personally have a Morpheos Geodesy GPS based detection system.

Posted my vote. I also have a Morpheus. How do you get on with it? I've found that Gloucester has really dubious GPS coverage, everywhere else seems to be fine. Did you go for their upgrade?

I think the Geodesy is great but I have found some areas can be a bit of a problem with the signal but I can find that sometimes its good I've been putting it down to weather conditions etc. I got the details of the upgrade last week and I think I will uprgrade. One thing I did notice is that I was under the impression that the normal database upgrades were free but I read that they are to charge £30 a year did I get this wrong or were you under the same impression. I,ve had mine for about 7 months now and it always impresses people that use my car.

The first year is free, thereafter its £30 per year. I haven't done the upgrade, didn't seem worth it. Considering letting the wife have this one and I might go for the Origin BlueI(?) which has a display as to type of camera and only alerts if you are breaking the speed limit.

The upgrade would mean that Geodesy would only alert you if you were breaaking the limit and also would be sensetive to your speed i.e warning you earlier if you are going faster or later when travelling slower sounds good.

Here in UK it is not legal to own, install or fit a radar detector but it is illegal to use one! GPS systems are not illegal yet.....
