Lance.
this is a great link and is sure to save some serious money !!!
that new cam by the entrence to the Abu Dhabi Airport cost me AED 4,000 and I am still hurting everytime I think of the goodise that dosh could have bought !
Are the speed cams configured as proximity alerts ? Can they be uploaded on the Garmin using their POI loader ?
