Do you mean speed camera database?... which alerts you to the "safety camera" locations?

basically, your sat nav has a small antenna, and there are many satalites around the earth, and they lock onto your sat nav through this antenna. this is how they know where you are. You can now get sat nav systems that can be taken from car to car, and are fully portable, and can even be used on foot. The only thing you need is the sat nav system, and the 'map' of the country/continent/or even world that you want. as you are presumably in the uk, most sat nav systems you buy will have these maps already programmed into them, but ask at the store if your not sure. i would recomment the tomtom, because i have found it to be reliable, as well as easy to use. one word of advice though, it wont work in a tunnel, because the radio waves from the sattelite cannot get into the tunnel.

i bought a cd off ebay with speed camera, post code and voice upgrades for about £5 for my tomtom. came with good instructions on how to install aswell.
