can't see them noticing that, technically cruise control is banned in Belgium, but everyone still uses it.

Maybe they feel drivers should be driving, not the electronics?  Maybe they have had too many incidents?  Maybe the greenies moan about the extra consumption for the sake of laziness?  Who knows, but it is...

Well just exactly how would the authorities know you have your GPS set for cameras etc :-?
If they pull you over for a ramdom check or you do something silly, then i think you'd be fine.
Certainly wouldn't turn mine off :)

TomTom one only has fixed cameras logged it is system so you shouldn't have a problem

What the french coppers don't like is the mobile camera detectors like the old Road Angle.

These send out a signal looking for s mobile speed trap and thats what the coppers are picking up.

Our Group Parts manager went to Le Mans a few years back and had a Road Angle switched on. Got tugged and the coppers,asked him to hand over the Angle

He did as he was told and then theysmashed it on the road and then demanded 500.00 euros, cash as a fine but didn't give him a ticket ::)

wonder where that went but would you make a complaint?
