Morpheous Limited continues to have outstanding press coverage.

Daily Mail article with a quote from the Association of Chief Police Officers. 5th Sept. 01

w DRlVERS are dodging controversial speed cameras by using a revolutionary device that alerts them in advance, writes Adam Gillham - (Evening Standard, Tuesday, 4 September 2001) .

w In response to motoring campaigners, who have accused police forces of deliberately hiding the speed cameras in a bid to making money from unsuspecting drivers, a Kent-based company has come up with Geodesy -a unique system that gives the driver plenty of warning before they approach a camera.

w Surprisingly, Geodesy is totally legal and uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to accurately pinpoint each of the estimated 10,000 speed cameras across the country.

w GPS is normally used by sailors and pilots to locate their position  through the use of satellites. The inventors of Geodesy have used the same technology to locate and mark the exact positions of speed cameras across the country. The information is then stored on a computer chip.

  w Once plugged into the lighter socket of a car dashboard, a series of lights come on within half a mile of the camera. As the driver gets closer to the speed trap, more lights are triggered until- within a few feet of the camera's position - an alarm is sounded. The makers say the device gives the driver ample time to slow down gradually rather than slamming on the brakes at the last minute and risking an accident. 

  w More than 6000 have already been sold, and the manufacturers say they are selling the devices quicker than they can make them     Morpheous, the company that sells Geodesy at £350 each, claims that police forces have made ?190 million from fines as a result of drivers being caught by speed cameras.  And they say that, on average, 10000 drivers a week are being fined.
  Martin Burch, a director of Morpheous said: "The system is completely legal because it is based on a GPS.  There are anything between 8000 and 10000 speed cameras across the country.

  w "What we are doing is promoting the safety aspect of Geodesy, which is getting drivers to slow down - which is what the police forces want."

  w A spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers said: "Although it is not illegal, and we are not looking to make it illegal, we are not encouraging (Geodesy's) use because if people are driving within the speed limit they shouldn't need to have a device like that.

  w "The more likely users are irresponsible drivers likely to speed outside the camera zones."

Special Reductions For Bulk Orders - Call

  w I'VE been playing with quite a clever little device that tells you where speed cameras are located. It's called the GEODESY and is a GPS satellite unit you just plonk into your cigarette lighter and stick in your dashboard.

  w Whenever you approach a speed camera it gives you warning with lights and alarms that get louder the nearer you get. It is particularly good at night or to spot those sneakily-sited cameras behind trees and road signs. 

  w Coming down the A40 this morning into London, my GEODESY was chirping away like a nightingale, merrily picking off all those cameras that straddle the A40. It's not cheap at ?380 but I can confirm that it does work, and very well.

  w It's got to be the best thing you can get to protect yourself from hidden cameras. After all, if you are three points away from losing your licence, £350 is a small price for keeping it.

P olice, magistrates and High court judges have been among Morpheous customers since the GEODESY went on sale.

The motoring columnist Jeremy Clarkson is having one fitted this week. Clarkson said in a newspaper article: "The whole point of a speed camera is to slow the traffic down to the correct speed limit. A device that gives advanced warning of a Gatso location, surely, will do just that."
The Times

A device which warns drivers of the locations of speed cameras has been launched - and, because it is not a radar detector, it is entirely legal. By informing motorists of the location of these cameras, GEODESY alerts them to such accident black spots and to the risk of penalty points on their licence.
Daily Telegraph

Spend your money on a little box of tricks called GEODESY from Morpheous. Cannot be outlawed since it's entirely passive and is ruthlessly accurate.

  Never cared much for radar detectors. However, there is a new type of warning device, called GEODESY , that makes much more sense. Works fine, and its legal. AutoCar

  Morpheous, a global satellite technology company, have developed an in-car device to beat the speed traps by revealing the location of all fixed radar, laser and Gatso sites. The Sun

With the number of speed cameras likely to triple in the next few years, is there anything I can do to avoid a fine? Yes, the GEODESY is entirely legal and, if kept updated, should reveal the location of all fixed radar, laser and Gatso sites in more than enough time for you to be able to check your speed. A recent MORI survey suggested that those who use detectors were actually less likely to be involved in an accident. Sunday Times

  I've been trying out a little GPS device called the Morpheous GEODESY ...it allows me to concentrate that little bit harder on what's ahead, check my speed and be aware of looming hazards. Tiff Needell - Top Gear

  Called the GEODESY it's definitely better than a possible ban for having too many points on your licence. What a great idea. Daily Star  

Morpheous has compiled the largest and most accurate database of speed detection devices in the UK and is the market leader in progressive road safety technology. It successfully tested the GEODESY throughout last year with outstanding results.

Beat the speed cameras legally

With the number of speed cameras likely to triple in the next few years, is there anything I can do - short of slowing down - to avoid a fine?
Yes. There are several high-tech gadgets that can be fitted to your car which will alert you to speed cameras ahead. Radar detectors banned in America but not in this country - are the best known. There is a whole range readily available, typically costing between ?200 and ?600 , but their effectiveness is open to question. They cannot detect all the varying kinds of cameras and are susceptible to further advances in police technology. What is interesting, however, is that they appear not to be used by lunatics hell-bent on flouting the law. A recent Mori poll suggested that those who used detectors were actually less likely to be involved in an accident.
Is there any other way of reliably and legally locating cameras?  
Yes. A company called Morpheous has introduced a device called the Geodesy tat is entirely legal and, if kept updated, should

reveal the location of all fixed radar, laser and Gatso sites in more than enough time for you to be able to check your speed. Its price ?380.
Tell me more.
In essence, its no more than a global positioning system (GPS), which uses the same technology as satellite navigation. The principle is that it knows in advance where the cameras are sited and, once plugged in, will use satellites to determine the position of your car relative to those cameras. When you are within a mile you are warned with increasing urgency.
But what about all the extra cameras that are being erected?
It comes with a desktop modem connector that can be used to download information about all new sites.
Anything cheaper?
There are several free access websites giving the locations of cameras, including the Association of British Drivers (www.abd.org.uk/cameras/map.htm) and www.ukgatsos.com, for Gatso sites only.
What are the catches?
Mobile cameras. Though these cost less than fixed cameras, they are less 

popular with the police because they require more manpower to operate. The Geodesy is powerless against them. It also has no answer to standard police road checks, nor willit alert you when a police car has started monitoring your speed on the motorway. It's at its most effective on major urban routes where traffic speed and volume means an increased frequency of accidents and where fixed speed cameras are therefore likely to have been placed.
Is there any campaign to cut the number of speed cameras?  
The AA says cameras in genuinely dangerous areas command public support in excess of 70%, but it is concerned that such support will be eroded if cameras are used simply to raise revenue. It says cameras should always be prominently mounted and clearly signed. 
What do the police say?  
The Association of Chief of Police Officers says speed cameras play a major part in reducing deaths and injuries at accident black spots. And with the government raising huge sums of money from the cameras, don't hold your breath for any U-turn.
