Advantages: large display, clear warnings, set-up options Disadvantages: doesn't tell you the speed limit of the road you're on, only 6 months subscription included
...becuase of the type of road (wide, two lane, well lit) I continued very cautiously at around the 25mph mark. Having being later informed by my colleagues that this road had some of the new no flash digital speed cameras on it I spent the next couple of weeks worrying whether I was going to get a ticket or not.
