In the Janurary 2005 edition of EPE magazine they have the following

Approximate project cost =A375 (They have negitiated with Holux to provide

an
embedded GPS receiver with built in antenna for =A345 untill Janurary)

Speed Camera Watch - enables you to record for future reference the
positio=
n
of fixed or mobile camera. Using its optional PC interface, it can also
reference Gatso location data downloadable from the internet. This
sophisticated design is surprisingly easy to build thanks to the use of a
PIC 16F873 microcontroller. Using an embedded GPS (Global Positioning
System) module, the EPE Speed Camera Watch stores the location of up to
1,000 cameras that you record for yourself when you pass by. Thus the
devic=
e
will warn you well in advance next time you travel through that area, by
means of a bargraph and audio tone.
