 There is a section in most websites of local authorities that will give you the location of them and usually the local newsrag will publish sites for the coming weeks mobile ones.
Whats up? Not got a SatNav that tells you..... I use a TomTom and buy the yearly speed/safety camera package that costs me about 20 notes. I think even the cheap SatNavs have that facility as an add on. None will tell you about the mobile ones though and now they are far more clever even the so called 'speed camera detectors' are of no use cos they have got you at the same time as you have been told its there! I found that out to my cost........ :'(
Hiope that is some help..... :y

I have a tomtom xxl but only use it when on a run.

Out and about yesterday and when past a static camera that has no road (speed) markings and is sited on a busy crossroads and had allways thought it to be a traffic light camera, but was told it was a speed camera.

Looking at it again and it is a few yards before traffic lights so may be a speed camera(but allways thought they had road marks to indicate speed)  but was "told" all traffic light detectars are on top of traffice lights.

Be careful with traffic light cameras as many of them are now 'speed on green' cameras as well.  They have a dual function.....  >:(

I found this out after living abroad for abit and didn't realise that they had changed! An expensive mistake!!  :'(
