Arms Race over Speed Cameras
A Press Release in Directions Magazine:
NAVTEQ is offering a Camera Alert feature in their vehicle navigation system. It has data (which is updated monthly) on the location of speed cameras. This allows drivers:
to get from A to B while being told via clear, concise voice alerts to avoid potential hazards such as speed cameras, speed limits and many officially designated accident blackspots. From the NAVTEQ newsletter
I am sure this will go over big in the UK, which has lots of speed cameras. But it highlights a potential arms race between navigational systems that cater to drivers and governments that don't want to publicize the location of cameras.
