AURA Speed Camera Database

Unlike AURA, many other GPS databases rely largely on locations provided by hobbyists who might not be able to tell a speed camera or a red light camera from a traffic flow camera or a surveillance camera. These databases could result in annoying false alerts, which could lead you to start ignoring even legitimate alerts -defeating the point of having a GPS database in the first place.

Other databases are not updated every day, and they also limit how often you can download updates. As a result, devices using these databases are not as up-to-date as they could be and are likely to miss alerts.

In contrast, Snooper has assembled a professional team that devotes every working day to verifying each and every speed camera and high risk zone that goes into the AURA database. The Snooper S270 Sapphire Plus provides speed camera locations for the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

The AURA speed camera database incorporates shared mobile Police positions, Gatso cameras, Truvelo cameras, SPECS cameras, DS2, Speedcurb, Watchman, Multi Lens Gatso, Accident Blackspots, Mobile Laser Sites and High Risk Zones. Plus the AURA database includes the speed limits at all these locations so your Snooper S270 Sapphire Plus can count down accurately to the hazard!

Snooper AURA speed camera subscription charges for the Snooper S270 Sapphire Plus costs £69.99 a year.

Snooper Golf ShotSaver

Snooper S270 Sapphire Plus also provides Golf Pro Shot Saver which gives you access to over 2000 golf courses across the UK and Ireland when you subscribe to Snooper Services Pack. Golf Pro Shot Saver uses the very latest GPS technology to provide you with distances anywhere on the golf course. The distance to bunker, lakes, streams, paths plus many other hazards will automatically be calculated. Snooper Shot Saver will also give you the individual distances to the front, middle and back of the green ensuring you can always select the right club.
