POI factory vs Escort

 

does anyone know how the POI Factory red light database
compares to the Escort 9500ix red light database?
(in terms of total cameras listed and frequency of updates)

thanks,

They

They most likely download it from here and then, they may put out an update every 6 months to a year.

nice

I second that theory.

Power to the people

Because POI Factory has so many users, whenever a new red light or other "safety" camera crops up, users let Miss POI know and the file is updated PDQ. The data is never more than perhaps a day or two old, so in answer to the opening question, the data here on POI Factory is probably the most reliable and up to date.

Most probably the best database is here and it is updated every week. I have seen brand new cameras and even one being installed. By the time I check the file, they have already been added.

They might buy the info from NAVTEQ

NAVTEQ has started incorporating red light cams into it's database.

They're a well established GPS map and POI company... I suspect that Passport buys the info from them.

But, I have no idea where NAVTEQ gets its information from.

I know it changes often

I know it changes often but

My brother has a Escort and it's better than POI base systems. But you only get 6 months of subscription after that u have to pay for updates.
