If you're using Navigator on the move, you might want to consider adding a database of UK speed cameras - TomTom offer access to camera databases, if you subscribe to their service, but there's a cheaper alternative The database that they provide is intended to be used with TomTom's Navigator application.
The database gives longitude and latitude co-ordinates for the cameras, and includes GATSO cameras, redlight cameras, and the locations of common mobile speed camera locations. The database has to be copied to the map folder on the Pocket PC, and then you can add them to the map as an overlay referred to as a POI - Point of Interest. You'll be able to see an icon of a speed camera in Navigator view.
Below are some instructions for installing and using the database. TomTom Navigator 5 and 6 have built-in support for speed camera notification, and for users of TomTom v2 or v3, there's a free application called CheckPOInt , that can alert you audibly of an upcoming camera, by playing a WAV file of your choice when you near a camera.
