On 31st March 2025, we commemorated our 20th anniversary selling GPS-based products, accessories and maps to the UK and around the world.

Our commitment to quality lies in our exclusive sourcing of genuine, manufactured products from reputable brands such as Garmin, TomTom, and BlackVue.

Our comprehensive online store, spanning over 3,000 pages, caters to a diverse range of end-users, including car drivers, motorcyclists, truck drivers, and caravan and motorhome enthusiasts. We also offer niche-market GPS-based products, including speed camera detectors, handheld GPS systems, marine chartplotters, GPS fishfinders, and specialised off-road sat navs.

To enhance the overall customer experience, we provide a comprehensive selection of genuine accessories and maps designed to complement our sat nav and GPS-based products.

Our accessory range is product specific and includes mounts, chargers, cases, and cables. Similarly, we cater to niche markets with accessories such as reversing cameras for Garmin sat navs and transducers for marine chartplotters and fishfinders.

More than 20 years of trading online

Although ActiveGPS.co.uk launched in March 2005, we first started trading online in 2003 from a popular UK website SpeedCamerasUK.com selling radar, laser and GPS speed camera detectors. In that time we have seen many, many competitors fall by the wayside. What's our success been down to? Well customer service has a lot to do with it...
