I know they are legal but do they actually work?

Do you mean a Gatso one?

Great thread. I have done 1000 miles in three days and was thinking exactly this myself today.
Any recommendations?

I've been looking at this one, it's relatively inexpensive and has a lot of good reviews on Amazon, I just wondered if anyone on here has one and if they are reliable really

I have a novel idea. Stick to the speed limits to avoid problems.

surely they've improved since then? Did it let you down or were you getting loads of false alarms? That seems to be the main issue with the modern ones from what I can gather
unfeasible
I bought my dad one about fifteen years ago. It beeps every now and then and he slows down. Never had a speeding ticket.

I hope you end up in prison then.

How does it detect them? Is it not just be a case of getting the location database and positioning them so you get a notifications in your sat nav?
Be class if there was technology that was able to detect them rather than predict where they may be based on historical data

How does that work though? Is it a GPS type device or something that is scanning the frequencies or some shit

I'm not planning on being Max Verstappen, just stray over from time to time and have points already

Radar emits a radio wave at a particular frequency. It detects the radio wave which determines your speed. The in car detector picks up the radio wave and beeps. Same happens at lights with the little camera to detect traffic.

theres is mate,GPS, it detects plods laser and alerts you to it before you are close enough for them to clock you (handy for the 690), there's an article on them I was reading the other night I'll try and find it, illegal in Scotland though and several other European countries though I believe

I've one built into my phone navmii app. Automatically updates location of static and mobile ones. Gives audible beep and the like. App is free camera thing couple quid.
It's long gone now,it was called a snooper never worked properly,beeped at traffic light cameras and cattle grids etc. Hopefully they've come a long way now
Road Angel Pro will alert to a gatso within 1km. Retailing at £250 ish.

Cheers for that
They should have improved but the police stopped using radar and used laser which can detect from further away(further than the camera detectors at the time). Lots of false alarms,traffic light cameras,places where there's no chance a mobile camera could be and also the fixed ones that you can't miss.
