Getting a speeding ticket on your vacation is the last thing you need to worry
about this summer, so a website called
PhantomAlert.com has compiled a speed trap database with over 3,400 locations
in the U.S. and Canada known to have red light cameras or speed camera detectors.
There are plenty of speed trap databases out there, but this one lets you download
all that data to your existing navigation system.
The data can be imported to Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, and other compatible devices via a USB cord, so the next time you're in or around areas known to have speed traps, your GPS unit will alert you with both visual and audio warnings. Users are encourage to upload additional sites to keep the database and their GPS device updated.
It looks like you can download the speed trap database for free, and use it for free for one year. Afterwards, USA Today, says you have to pay $25 for an annual subscription which probably includes free updates. If you don't have a GPS unit, you can purchase one through the site and get free updates for life that include alerts of new or deleted sites.

These guys are a joke. Their spray has been shown to illegal and ineffective in several states, including Pennsylvania where their company is located, so they needed another revenue source. Look in detail at their map of camera locations and you'll see it is identical to that of other company's work. Don't patronize company's that steal other people's work.
