Advantages: Great GPS function Disadvantages: Subscription and no Radar sensor
2 miles apart, catches number plate at each and works out average speed between, but no physical signal to pick up.
Now the older style detectors would only tell you a direct hit from a laser or a radar signal from a Gatso. The rest of the cameras? you might as well not even have your detector.
However, with the RoadAngel it is worth it. Basically the way the unit works - it knows where you are and it knows where the cameras are (via GPS). This means that as soon as your going towards a camera it will alert you - the screen flashes bright red and you also get a beep to warn you it's been triggered. You can adjust the amount of warning you get. As you get closer to the point in question it will start to flash faster and you will get more bars appear on the screen. You also have your speed displayed on the unit (at all times ...
Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: some may want battery life to last longer
I have always wanted a Satellite Navigation (SatNav) device simply because I drive a lot and I am forever getting lost on my route.
I have been searching for a decent SatNav for a long time now, and up until recently the same one has been recommended to me time and time again from people I work with or know. This is the RoadAngel Navigator.

WHAT IS ROADANGEL?
RoadAngel uses GPS technology to map the precise location of your vehicle, and using a database of all of the major varieties of fixed speed camera and blackspots, can warn you when you are approaching a camera or blackspot. GPS also means that if you break down, you can use the unit to determine your precise longitude and latitude which can be given to your breakdown assistance company to help them find you quicker.
Plenty of warning is given; the unit will light up red whilst a recorded voice will tell you the nature of the danger ahead, whether it be a camera or blackspot. This is followed by a series of beeps which increase in speed as you approach the hazard and stop altogether once you are past it with surprising accuracy. You can also program in your own danger sites and even set your own maximum ...
The most powerful radar detector money can buy, phenomenal range and sensitivity, detects "multiple threats", provides warning against virtually all speed traps
Very expensive, will not spot the newer SPECS and TRUVELO cameras ( fortunalty they are in limited use), sensitivity comes at a price i e false alarms but you get to learn how to distinguish them.Display angled to the left though not a big issue (*)
