Alright, but telling us about it in more than one forum is a bit OTT.

Your database isn't going to be all that accurate if you only get the camera location from other road users. If you are going to charge 50p per text, then you could at least link up to the GPS system.

They are linked up to a GPS system, but we all know were the fixed cameras are, but not the Mobile Cameras. It's only road users who knows that.

Taken from your own FAQ

Quote:
2 Where do you get your information from?
We get our information from users like your self who send in the whereabouts of speed cameras and traffic jams from all over the country. To report a speed trap just send an SMS to 81232 with the message REPORT followed by space and a clear description of the speed trap including the exact location. Or you can give us a call on 0800 198 3333. To send in information the only cost is your regular SMS charge



Quote:
but we all know were the fixed cameras are, but not the Mobile Cameras. It's only road users who knows that.

And how can you guarantee that road users will take the time to pull over somewhere & send a text to inform you of a location?

Simple answer is you can't.

All you have done is come here to spam your own site & line your own pocket, can't see your posts staying all that long at all.

On topic commercial messages are permitted, but not in multiple forums. Repeating that mistake will get you banned.

I'm sure that many intelligent people here will be completely turned off by you presenting the information as if you are an impartial user of the service. That's a SPAMMERS trick, and experienced net users soon learn to hate spammers. I suggest an honest factual approach.

Probably better off with a Road Angel and a laser jammer. Or better still, a S. Ireland registered car.
