How Do I Update GPS Photo Memory?

If you are in an area with a lot of cameras or where camera numbers are growing, or you intend to drive outside your normal area or are travelling to another country, we recommend you purchase a membership package for unlimited database updates via the Internet.

65 Camera Alerts using spoken voice, not beeps

Most competing devices have no voice alerts at all. If they do have any, it's usually only 3 or 4. The C50 is the first detector in the world to use the Trinity 2.0 Enhanced Database to provide 65 unique spoken voice alerts for cameras and other hazards. The C50 gives more detailed and useful camera information than any other detector on the market. It’s the only camera locator in the world that can tell you not only what kind of camera is coming up but also if the camera is on the freeway, the highway, the exit ramp, the frontage road, the city street, in the tunnel, after the end of the tunnel, on the overpass, in the school zone, in the construction zone or near the bridge ahead. Spoken voice alerts mean you know exactly what hazard you are approaching and can instantly assess the importance of the alert. It’s much better than other products which just beep at you!

Directional Intelligence = better alerts and less false alarms (in cities and on freeways)

Camera alerts are directional, which is huge benefit in cities with a number of cameras. The C50 alerts to cameras that are a threat in your direction of travel. This means fewer false alarms than "radius alerting" devices like competitor camera locators, GPS sat nav, radar detectors or phone downloads. You won't be annoyed by false alarms for cameras on the other side of the freeway!

3 User Modes - One touch switching with 3 User Modes of Operation

Swapping User Modes is as easy as pressing a button and it changes the categories of alerts that are given so you can use it to disable alerts you don't want to hear.

a) All cameras, mobile traps and safety alerts

b) Speed and red-light cameras

c) Speed cameras only

Trinity Verification means less false alerts

Other products, sat nav downloads and some competitor devices rely on user generated content, called "crowd sourced" data). They are plagued by hundreds of false alarms, caused by users mistakenly reporting traffic cameras as red light cameras. Trinity is 100% verified by Cheetah’s in-house professional database team, so there are far less false positive alerts. Trinity Database covers all cameras and the Cheetah C50 alerts to all types of photo enforcement camera including Speed cameras, Red light cameras, Speed-on-Green red light cameras, point-to-point average speed cameras, well known camera van locations, well known speed trap sites, accident zones and dangerous intersections.

Most European or Asian GPS camera locators let users set a speed reminder beep to alert drivers whenever they exceed their chosen speed limit, but they usually only let you set one limit and it's always rounded down to the nearest 10mph or 5mph. Once again, Cheetah takes this feature to the next level and makes it more useful for US drivers. On the C50 you have the option to store up to 5 separate speed reminders. You can set them on the detector whilst driving or using the Cheetah Software Tool. There's no rounding down either. You can set reminders, in increments of 1mph, for real enforcement thresholds like 9mph or 11mph over posted speed limits to ensure you don't find yourself accidentally drifting into the ticket zones.
