Snooper has stopped detecting cameras and hotspots

1 comments:

The Snooper XL has stopped detecting cameras and hotspots likely due to outdated or ineffective camera location data, even after updates. Users report that the device only alerts them to about 40% of speed cameras and includes inaccurate hotspot locations. This suggests poor database accuracy or update issues.
