Radar Detectors > Blackspot Radar Detectors > Road Angel Laser Alert

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. ...

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

RoadPilot microGo

Advantages: Good unit and price.
Disadvantages: Not compatible with Windows Vista x64

I recently purchased a RoadPilot microGo, the second one I have bought. As a unit, they are excellent, however software compatibility may make you want to avoid due to the fact that the sync software to update the unit is not compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit and RoadPilot have no current intention of changing the software to support it. I had this email from their customer service manager which I am sure you can verify with them: Dear Mr xxxxxxxxx ...
...into your problem further, unfortunately, I have to advise that the RoadPilot Sync Software is not compatible with vista 64 bit only vista 32 bit. I have spoken with our Technical Director and he advises that at present there are no immediate plans to change the software to incorporate compatibility with 64 bit. I am sorry you are experiencing this problem, however, if you can download your microGo via a windows 2000, XP or vista 32 bit environment ...
