Hi,

My father has just bought a new S Type diesel which has GPS fitted (not sure
if it's standard or an accessory).

Is there any way of uploading safety camera locations?

I know that the answer is probably in the manual but I have next to no
chnace of getting him to read it before I get there at christmas and by then
it'll be too late to obtain any software that I need to install it when I
visit.

Thanks

Chris.

Thanks,

It seems ridiculous that I have to give him a tomtom when he has a GPS built
in.
He may have the only S Type with a TomTom on the windscreen

Why not simply buy one of the many stand alone Camera Location devices?
And I dont neccesssarily mean a speed camera detector.

You should check with Jaguar about their GPS device, as it may depend on
model/version

Good idea about asking Jaguar - I'll call tomorrow.

As for a stand alone device.  I think that the TomTom one (at about 160
pounds)  is cheaper than most and as I have one I can more easily 'support'
it.
It does seem a shame to have to have third party devices hanging of his
windscreen.

Thanks,

Chris

Whatever you do, tell him not to rely on it in the mountains of Oregon.

If you are in the UK, Road Angel is very good.
