Why is a high-quality GPS database important in detectors?

Drivers need to be more careful than ever before, as the number of measured locations is growing rapidly especially in recent years. That is why we have been updating changes in our own GPS database for you for over 10 years every day and we pay attention to its accuracy so that you can always rely on our detectors.

The GENEVO European GPS database is a valued feature of our devices because of its accuracy. It includes, active stationary radars, section measurements and red light cameras and more. These devices differ from microwave radars and lasers in that they do not emit any signal to be captured, and therefore, an up-to-date and accurate GPS database in the detectors is absolutely essential.




GPS database GENEVO

We have been developing our own GPS database processing system since 2012. Thanks to many years of experience with mapping, our unique system for efficient data processing and a wide network of testers and partners, but also thanks to you, our customers, we have the most sophisticated and reliable database on the market, which has long been one of the most valuable advantages of our detectors. Of course, we are continuously working on improvements and trying to fix errors by the next update.


WHAT EXACTLY DOES GPS DATA INCLUDE?

- Stationary radars

- Sectional measurements

- Red light cameras

- Our built-in systems with online connection also include the currently reported measured location,
or mobile patrols

WHERE DO WE COLLECT INPUT FOR YOUR DATABASE?

- News and articles

- Social networks and forums

- Our customers

- Testers and partners from all over Europe

- Partner databases

- Other situational sources



Our unique update system

In order to be able to rely on the accuracy of the data and the fastest possible update of GPS points, we have developed our own system, which we have been gradually improving for over 10 years. Every day, our specialist focuses exclusively on the management, control and optimization of the database and makes an average of 10 adjustments per day, thus ensuring its smooth operation and continuous development.

Every month we release an updated database, which you can quickly and easily upload to your detector, as you can find out how in the updates and support section.


Automatic updates in real-time

The built-in GENEVO PROTECTOR II LIVE system, (available in some regions) thanks to its online connection, installs the latest firmware update and GPS database of stationary points itself, immediately as soon as we add it. In practice, this means that as soon as new section cameras or stationary speed measurements appear, we enter them into the database managed by us and the PROTECTOR II system downloads and updates them itself.
Thanks to this, you will be informed about the latest stationary threats in good time and can rely on top-notch protection on your travels. We plan to incorporate this technology in more upcoming GENEVO products.


How does GPS detection work?

Depending on the settings, GENEVO will alert you to stationary speed measurements 250, 350, or 450 meters in advance. When you approach a point stored in its database with the detector, it will alert you in time so that you can adjust your driving speed. The detector also shows you the distance from the given point and reports the average speed in the section measurement. You can read all about how a radar detector works here.
