Everyone I have spoken to thinks they are superb. Does anyone know if the group buy (at reduced cost) is still active? Can anyone remember the price and the contact details as "search" is not working at the moment? I have decided to buy one after driving up the A1 4 times over Christmas, and nearly being cought out several times!!.
See you later,
Mike

Had mine for three or fours month now (maybe more).
Couldn't imagine driving without one once I'm outside my local area (ie I don't know the camera locations).
I went to down to Telehouse in the Docklands last week. The North Circular and A13 is riddled with cameras and the Geodesy was spot on with the warnings - essential if you're trying to look for signs, junctions etc.
iBlue looks to have more features but I haven't heard of anyone with a working unit yet.

Take a loog at the Origin blue i website.
I think they offer induction-loop and SPECS camera detection, which as far as I'm aware, the Morpheus doesn't.

I was looking at the blue light on mine the other day and wondered if that's where Origin got the name from. After all Geodesy were first and the unit does have a blue eye. Or am I just weird!

BuRR,
As soon as you come off the M6, heading towards Liverpool / St Helens on the M62. There are what seems like hundreds of the bliming things.
Mine goes mental as well.

hmmmm
So what "advantages" does the Origin have? Just the LCD screen? Cos it gives speed and direction or something doesn't it?
I know its plagued with bugs, but I suppose everything has that initially..... Also, how much is the Goedsey subscription, and how long is the initial one?

BuRR,
Not sure about the other one, but the Geodesy can be connected to a Palm / laptop to provide direction and speed information. This can also be used with a route finder, to enable you to get from A to B.
The unit comes with a 12 month subscription, out of the box. I think the renewal cost is thirty quid a year.
Hope this helps, Phill C

Advantage of the Origin seems to be that it's directional, not that much of an advantage when you're trying to avoid accident black spots - or are they directional!!
Advantage to me of the Geodesy is that it comes with both a fixed and portable bracket. If I use or go out in another car I can take it with me.
Geodesy - with update - only goes mental with the specs cameras if you're breaking the law.
Subscription is £30 for a year, comes with first year free.
Both claim no false alarms but that's cack, if a camera is on a road near the one you're on it will alert you.

I have had a Geodesy for 3 months. It lives in the pocket on top of the Scooby dasboard and works fine with the lid down. All I do is listen for the beeps. It is not a feature rich as the Origin blue but works very well.

I supply the Morpheous Geodesy and the range of Snooper detectors.
My father has a Morpheous in his pulsar gti-r, I have one in my cossie, and my brother has one in his cossie. They have proved invaluable for saving all of our licences at one time or another.
Haven't found any faults with the Morpheous at all, and I'm still waiting on delivery of my origin with which to make a direct comparison. If they are any good, I will be supplying them as well.
I can do the Morpheous at £325 inc p&p and next day delivery.

Nothing but good experience with the Geodesy for me.
Fantastic customer service & great device. Just updated to the Geodesy Plus. Only goes ballistic if you above the applicable limit at a site. Does SPECS, Truvelo - anything fixed. Updating is easy and works every time.
Only wish that it didn't warn of fixed camera's pointing the other way, but sure they are working on it!

Upgraded my geodosy to Plus version.. makes it even more usable.. has saved me 3 points on numerous occasions.. Now it only bleeps if you are in excess of the speed limit.. keeps wife from moaning about noise!. and the range automatically decreases in town for lower speed cameras!
