ROAD ANGEL 6000 - UK Map update costs £50 extra

Advantages: Nice small unit
Disadvantages: Costs a fortune to keep it up to date

ROAD ANGEL 6000 Do you know that UK map updates are not included in the mnthly subscription, so despite you paying almost £50 a year in updates subscription, you have to pay a further £50 for a UK map update. As there are new roads and changes to priority etc almost every week across the UK, it means realistically you are never going to be up to date other than just after you bung the £50 for the map update. I thought my subscription included ...
...locations and black spots and if there is a new road (such as the A30 opened 12 months ago), my system does not even show the road, to get it to do that is £50 extra. I think this is a ripp off and it was never made clear when I purchased it that this was the case. Suggest you check before you buy a sat nav (what ever make it might be) ...

Review of Blackspot Road Angel

New Road Angel

Advantages: Warns you of speed cameras in areas you do not know
Disadvantages: Beeps can be annoying, become used to the alerts

I travel a lot around the UK so it is imperative I keep my licence to keep my job!!! This is a fabulous and perfectly legal GPS driving tool! You also notice the number of other drivers who use it too! Recommended by vehicle manufacturers e.g. VW were selling off the old model and the new ones (cheaper to buy on-line or from Halfords). It doesn't stop you getting speeding tickets/points if you don't stick to the limits or drive according to the conditions/traffic ...
...traps/hazard areas are there so you can be extra vigilant Advantages - When I bought it 15 months ago, you had a 6 months free subscription for downloading/uploading information...not sure if the offer(s) is on now - Easy to use - Mounts easily on the bottom of the front window - Excellent website - online ordering of accessories and updates - Back up support/help line - Coming down in price (I paid £390 - now can be found at £229) - Audio ...

Review of Blackspot New Road Angel 2

Ummmmmm...

Advantages: Database constantly updated, easy to set-up
Disadvantages: ...the quiet moments worry me!

...new buildings overnight. The Snooper S3 GPS, Laser and Radar speed camera detector is one of the only systems on the market to combine all three technologies. In essence it detects: Gatso safety cameras, Specs camera systems, Truvelo cameras, Digital cameras, accident hotspots and Laser guns! The database seems fairly extensive (certainly round Stafford), and is updated every other day, so less of a worry with new cameras going up and leaving ...
...UK speed camera database Snooper AURA speed camera subscription - £2.99 a month, £7.99 a quarter, £29.99 a year and comes with a 2 Years manufacturers guarantee I am not sure of the longevity of this product, as keeping your eyes on the road and your speed seem a more reliable option! Fits easily in your pocket or bag at journeys end, and plugs straight into the cigarette lighter for charging. It seems to me to have moments of incredible laziness, ...

Review of Talex GPS Speed Camera Detector

Snooper S6R & S6RLD

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: False Sense of Secuity - Picks up everthing EXCEPT Speed Detectors

...did not detect them. So Snooper telling me that they couldn't have been pointing it at me is just wrong!! I sent the whole lot back to them just before Christmas and it has now been returned to me. They say there is nothing wrong with the laser and they have changed the phone number in the unit. When I asked if I would get a refund for the Subs as I had not been able to download anything I was told no!! Not happy and bitterly disappointed. ...
