The fully portable, plug-and-play PogoAlert speed camera detector combines GPS and Laser technology with cutting-edge design and a high resolution 1.8-inch TFT colour LCD screen. The PogoAlert will warn of ALL fixed speed cameras and in addition, alerts are provided for mobile laser traps via the supplied laser detector module.

The PogoAlert also includes patented features such as 'Directional' feature that provides warnings only for speed traps in the direction of the user and 'Limitator' feature that provides full warning sounded only if the user is exceeding the prevailing speed limit.

PogoAlert Summary

PogoAlert harnesses the power of orbiting GPS satellites to provide total protection against the threat of fixed speed cameras, mobile laser traps and accident blackspots.

PogoAlert combines cutting-edge industrial design with a high resolution TFT colour screen, custom designed GPS hardware and an intuitive graphical user interface. The result is the most sophisticated speed camera detector ever to take to the road.

PogoAlert utilises the award-winning Origin360 speed camera database, which has been updated since 1999 and contains GPS co-ordinates of ALL fixed installation speed traps, including Gatso speed cameras, Truvelo speed cameras, DS2 (Speedmaster), Watchman speed cameras, Speedcurb speed cameras and SPECS average speed cameras.

The PogoAlert speed trap proximity warning is user definable from 200metres to 2000metres or from 5-30 seconds. Voice warning of camera type/speed limit is provided when in the vicinity of a speed camera. Auto mute setting with adjustable "muted" volume is also available.

At each speed camera location the PogoAlert shows type of speed camera, vehicle speed, speed limit, road number and countdown (metres or seconds) to the speed trap. The PogoAlert can also display distance covered, journey time and average speed.

PogoAlert also includes a highly sensitive infra-red laser detector to provide the fullest protection against laser based speed cameras and 'safety camera vans' via the supplied (removable) laser detector.
