For those who don't know what it is the Origin Blue is a GPS with an updatable database of fixed speed cameras. When your location gets close to one of the listed cameras it warns you. You update the listing via an online service.

Interestingly it's not covered by most bans as it doesn't actually 'detect' radars.

I wish some one would market them here. I'll happily host the datafiles.

Correct.... That's our man.... Gordon Brown, texture like sun

Still it's an excuse for another cool gadget (I am known amongst my friends and relatives as either "Gadget Man" or "Inspector Gadget" )

Like, this week I bought myself a Xmas present.... a Suunto Observer "wrist-top" computer. (It's just a fancy watch really - with altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass, etc. etc.) It comes in titanium and black or stainless steel and black and matches my S2000

Anyone who's equally gadget minded, check out www.suunto.com and look under "Cross sports".

The watch is made in Finland and I bought it from "The Eye Shop" in Chamonix, over the net,

I thought what they were trying to do is ensure that at least 10% of drivers have their license suspended at any one time in order to try to reduce the congestion on the roads

Hmm... pretty thick!

How about getting a JDM Sat Nav dash panel, and mounting in that?
