Waze app on your phone

Waze but it only notifies you about cameras if you are speeding in the first place.

Some of the others that warn you in advance should be good for spotting accident blackspots if the cameras are correctly positioned.

That's a new one. Mine mentions them regardless of my speed.

Thought you wanted your own camera OP.

Waze gets my vote

I have a (legacy but free to me) camerAlert subscription from www.pocketgpsworld.com which includes mobile and variable speed cameras as well as redlight and fixed cameras.

New subs cost £19.99pa but you can earn a sub if you submit new site which are later verified.

It shows them on the screen but only gives a verbal warning if you're over the limit. This is of course useless, especially in variable limits. Waze can announce all cameras, whether it does or not is set at a country level and whoever's in charge in the UK has chosen not to. Why the hell it can't be user selectable I've no idea. And no, I've not been caught out speeding

Well I never knew that! Mine mostly does verbal warnings. I wondered why there’s a few where it doesn’t. Ahem.

I’d asked Google if they could include an option to announce cameras in Waze even if you were under the limit, but they said not unfortunately.
