Speed Camera Detector Integrated or On Dash

Interested to buy a Speed Camera/Trap Detector and any opinion most welcome.

1. Has anyone managed to find a proper solution to integrate European traps in your F10 Nav

2. If the above is not possible, what are the best on Dash gadgets?
I had a Snooper Strabo (Nav+Detector), which made me mad most of the time I used it. It kept going off the track and usually without GPS signals. Threw it away years ago.

3. Found this thread http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthre...t=speed+camera

Novus looks like a good gadget, but do we have better gadgets?

All this to respect the cops

I just found this:
http://www.radar-detectors.co.uk/ori...FYEOfAodl1X6Mw
I'm very interested because it detects mobile laser vans and it can be updated from an Apple computer.
Have a look and let me know what you think.

I use the cheetah c50 in conjunction with a valentine one radar detector. Great combo!

I have BMW Trackstar with speedsafe - it uses GPS and beeps when near cameras. And loud beeps if speeding. No visible display, but therefore very neat.

Thanks, with Trackstar, do you have to pay a subscription and does the alert works for Mobile traps as well?
