RoadPilot Speed Camea Database for Europe

29 October 2007, 6:49pm

RoadPilot Ltd, the UK’s leading provider of speed camera and safety data to the automotive satellite navigation industry, today announced the expansion of its database to cover roads in Sweden and Italy.

RoadPilot’s database now contains speed camera data from 11 countries, with three more markets to be added within the next six months.

Covering more than 2,900,000 km2 across Europe, and stretching from Tromsø in Norway to Palermo in Sicily, the database is increasing by more than 400 new speed camera sites per month.

The key factor that sets RoadPilot’s database apart from those of its competitors is that RoadPilot’s full-time surveyors physically visit each and every site recorded to ensure all attributes - the exact GPS location, direction, and speed limit of each camera - are absolutely correct.

Established in 2000, RoadPilot supplies speed camera information to leading satellite navigation industry businesses such as digital mapping firm TeleAtlas, and was the first company to market a GPS speed camera location device.

RoadPilot’s newest device, the microGo, comes pre-loaded with the firm’s comprehensive GPS map of European camera sites and helps drivers to be aware of local speed limits and protect their driving licence both at home and abroad.

With reported thefts of portable technology (e.g. satellite navigation and speed camera detection units) from parked vehicles becoming increasingly commonplace, the ‘plug and go’ microGo - at just 5cm x 6cm - is reassuringly easy to carry or move from car to car, especially when compared to bulkier rival devices.

The microGo can be purchased in the UK from Selfridges, Harrods, and all good car accessory outlets for around £149.95, and currently at selected retailers for £99.95. Alternatively, you can order online at www.roadpilot.com, or by calling 0870 240 1702.
