My wife bought me one of these for my birthday, firstly whats the general opinion of it? secondly how easy is it to put a speed camera database on it?

Lastly, I have a Snooper in my car which is plugged into my ciggie lighter, I don't want to hard wire the snooper or Tom Tom if I keep it, is there any way of running both units at the same time i.e some form of adaptor, or I suppose if the Tom Tom can run some kind of camera database then the snooper might be made redundant (with the exception of the laser detection function)

your help would be much appreciated!

Halfords sell a double and a treble socket cigar/power outlet adaptor.

Very, see here: www.pocketgpsworld.com/uksafetycameras.php

This month's update is the last free one from this site. £2 a pop / £19 p.a. after that...

Download a zip file, extract the files and copy some of them into the right folder of the tomtom (see the page above for details)
