Have a look at the copyright bit on the bottom right here:

This is all a bit heavy handed, when you consider that this data was originally available for free and updated by site members through goodwill. However, the owners of the site have clearly decided that this is their intellectual property and are enforcing that.
So .. if the speed cam data finds it's way onto Sergei's download, there is a real chance that the person providing it will have his or her membership of pocketgps terminated without a refund. |
Only the European SCDB data was used last time, NFS, apparently.
Also, if any data were to be sourced from pocketgps, it would have had to have processed using a Perl script before it could be used on the nav disc.
Is anyone likely to reverse engineer the process, just to find out if there is a hidden code in the original .ov2 file?
Sergei will carry out his usual checks on the data & supplement it if necessary, I expect.
