Hey Wobble,
checkout the guys at Sentinel Content (www.scontent.com.au). They have been providing speed camera info to Sat Navs for close to 10 years. They also have a low-cost download site that’s updated weekly: http://www.roadsafety.com.au.

BTW: I hear that Sentinel recently won a big deal to supply Nokia with Live Traffic and Speed Cams. So looks like there’s a good alternative to Suna…

If you had cars interrogating each other as they passed maybe using a radio based P2P network along with GPS data, you could gather near real-time traffic conditions for the local area.

End of the month and still know sign of a traffic channel in Canberra. I’m sure they’ll get it going “Suna” or later…

for this ie. truck fuel stops,bridge clearances

as far as I know, safety camera locations are loaded into the map software within the GPS device and aren’t part of this broadcast. I don’t think anyone could broadcast the location of mobile safety cameras, they might not be there 10 minutes later.

The main question I and many people I know have is, How does your system notify me of Safety Camera? And does it notify me of the Mobile Safety Cameras or only the fixed ones?
