Speed Camera/Mobile Camera Detection

[Shminkypinky]

So whilst I try to stick to the speed limit and don't condone speeding (please don't say don't speed and you won't get caught) It is really easy in the Cupra to perhaps go slightly above the limit such as on dual carriageways.
I think it would be prudent to understand the best solution for speed camera and mobile camera detection.
So what is everyone using? Do you find google maps via android auto reliable for both?
I have been looking at Tom Toms but don't really want another screen in the car. Thanks in advance.

Give Waze a go. It’s free, CarPlay (and I guess Android Auto) compatible, display speed limits, has live traffic data cameras and warns toy when you go over the speed limit. Oh, and you accumulate points as you drive. I’m currently ranked 103rd in the UK.

TomTom is the king for live traffic data and the app is also compatible with Android Auto & CarPlay, but you have to pay for the privilege.

I have the speed cameras uploaded as POI on the normal NAV so I can have it on the Virtual Cockpit.

Here WeGo does this (Used to be Nokia Here maps), plus you can download the maps to your device for offline use, absolutely invaluable.

Where did you source the POI information from in order to do that? In the past I've used a TomTom and the POI's from Pocket GPS World.

That's what I do (using scdb for that) in my Navi Plus system. Works in the standard Navi system too. See https://www.scdb.info/en/plugin-vw/
Great to have the warnings on the zoomed in map in the Virtual Cockpit too, using the OEM navi system.

Costs a few £ to sort out and keep updated, but not a lot, Which reminds me I need to cancel the subscription as won't be able to use it on my new car

Uploading Speed Camera (Safety Camera) & User POIs

All had been good till the end of May 2018 (but not so bad if you read on - there is a standalone Windows program that can be used) when VW pulled the site link to the personal POI upload process for MIB2 standard and high so the documented process covered in...

The first time you do it, it can seem daunting, but once you've got a grip on the software its easy enough
