My Garmin has and the speed camera data is updated for the life of the
device as well as the maps. (Tom Tom want a subscription after the first
3 months.)


When I had a Garmin, despite having lifetime maps, etc (and my informing
them) it persistently had a road I use sometimes as NSL when it was
actually dropped to 40 in 2010.

I wonder what liability exists when a person relies on the speed camera
alert feature, and incorrect data (or operation) leads to a ticket ?


I suspect you mean "when a person relies on the speed camera alert
feature despite the seller making it abundantly clear it may not be 100%
right, and that it's always the driver's responsibility to check the
speed limit for the road". I rather doubt a UK court would hold that
such a term is unreasonable. Speed limits change and no system of
updating can be expected to be 100% perfect and prompt.


particularly on 'Smart' motorways where the spped limit can be dropped as
low as 20mph.
