    will there be any facility where you can just download the fixed camera coordinates and not the mobile ones?
    That would be illegal. You turn your GPS into a speed camera detector.

    Don't be silly, most police forces want you to know the location of speed cameras - means you are driving withing the speed limit...

    of course its not illegal. the GPS only holds locations that are programmed into it and it cannot detect speed cameras on its own.

    as it stands the guards have no problem with this website posting locations of speed cameras, both mobile and fixed so why would they have a problem with you choosing which type you want to be informed of?

    Horse! Your GPS would NOT be a speed camera detector! It still could not "detect" a camera. All it would do would know the location of a camera, not "Detect"it!

    Maybe the clue is in the name....

    If you bothered to read the regulations, you would know that detecting and indicating are considered synomynous.

    www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZSI50Y1991
    ROAD TRAFFIC (SPEED METER DETECTORS) REGULATIONS, 1991.

    In these Regulations, "speed meter detector" means any device which is capable of being used to indicate the existence of, or to frustrate the operation of, electronic or other apparatus being used to give indications from which the speed at which a person was driving can be inferred.

    According to the Guards there are only 3 cameras in operation at any one time. They are rotated between the 19 "fixed locations", so a sat nav with our locations loaded could not be considered a "detector".

    It's a red herring in any case as the Guards and National Safety Council said they will make the locations of the 300 new fixed cameras public.
