Road Angel Navigator 6000

...After 36 years on the road (no wonder I'm tired), I've finally succumbed to a three-point driving license endorsement for speeding. No excuses I guess; I'm not one of those people who flout the motorway limit for mile upon mile and somehow get away with it, but on occasions I guess, if we're all honest, we've entered a lower speed limit area and not noticed. This is what happened to me on 27th December. There was I dutifully thinking that I was doing ...
...Court and the stretch of road in question are 300 miles away. I used to have one of those little bleeper boxes that used the GPS satellite network to warn of impending speed cameras, but my latest car has an 'athermic windscreen' which uses thin metal foil to keep out the worst of the sun's UV rays. Unfortunately, it keeps out radio waves rather well too! I gave the box to my daughter whose needs seemed greater than mine, having been 'done' twice ...

Review of Road Angel Navigator 6000

...no surprise that a cheaper Road Angel has been released. I bought this unit because it included (ha! ha!) Northern Ireland, where I was about to visit. This unit combines black-spot/speed camera warnings with a navigator. The warnings are pretty good, but the audible warning of an average speed area becomes an annoyance when you travel along a 70 mile route which seems to be one big average speed area! What You Get ------------------- The unit ...
...We were travelling a road well populated with roundabouts and the dear lady in the box kept telling us to take the 3rd exit, when, in fact, we needed the 2nd. At one point it directed us up a one way street the wrong way! Sometimes you'll be told to turn left, but the map shows that you should turn right. All too often the RA got stuck in speed camera mode, which meant it was impossible to set routing. The camera icon appear over the required up/down ...

...you. I bought the Road Angel 6000 from Halfords about 9 months ago it set me back £185 which was at the time an opening offer for this system I believe it now retails at £210. I declined the offer from staff to assist me in setting it up in my car outside as it appeared very easy to install and indeed it was. What was Included Sat Nav System Multi Directional Stand SD Card USB Cable Instructions Once I had a quick look through the instructions ...
...the country since purchasing the Road Angel 6000 and have always found it easy to use and very accurate in getting me to my destination. BlackSpot and Speed Camera Add On The Black Spot and Speed Camera addition was also being given away in the price when I purchased this part of the system I do have some problems with. It picks up Black Spot areas easily and accuratly but it is constantly telling me that there is a mobile police van near even ...

Review of Road Angel Navigator 6000

I bought a road angel navigator 6000 a little over a year ago now, i got it second hand for £50 as it had no sd card that contain the maps included, i was quite happy as my friend had one of these with the sd card so i figured i could just make a copy of his card, insert it and away i go. This is what i did and hey presto off we go no problem at all. To be honest i don't actually find the 6000 to bad although i notice a few people have come up with ...
...limit on the stretch of road leading to prestwick international airport but the road is that well sign posted with the correct speed limit that it is not much of a concern as the 6000 was telling me it was a 40mph limit when it was a 50mph limit so no big problem. It also has a blackspot database built in which warns you in plenty of time of areas on roads where accidents are more prone to occur due to an up to date list installed of frequent crash/accident ...

Review of Road Angel Navigator 6000

Bought one of these when tomtom was lent to my parents, is not as good as i'd expected, slow to load routes, start and get satalite fix. Also the menu is very complicated and doesn't appear to charge very well. Has sent us some weird routes to get to our destination but i think thats a general satalite navigation thing with all brands as most of them use the same mapping systems. On he good side it does have a good holder for sticking it to the ...
...has to be the speed camera detector has never failed yet allows plenty of time for breaking sometimes before we have even seen the camera. Has a effective sound to warn you of cameras and tells you what speed limit applies for the area which the speed camera is in. Also has a usefull anti glare night mode. I wouldn't recommend buying one unless it was mainly the spee camera detector you were purchasing it for as the tomtom is a far better choice ...

...the memory to upload to Road Angel later and get added to the database for other users. It has various alerts that can be switched on and off at will. One of the most useful is the warning that you have exceeded a set speed. Useful to keep you to a set speed limit and if you come across any cameras that have not been entered in the database yet! ...

Review of Road Angel Navigator 6000

Not worth the money. The road angel rarely applies the shortest routes when asked. On one particular journey tat I now complete regularly, the road angels shortest journey is 58 miles and I go my route which takes it t an astonishing 42 miles. It does not recalculate routes from the position that you are at, but attempts to return you to the original route which invariably is the long way round. Get a Tom Tom, cheaper, easier to use and the mapping is readily available. Europe is only available country by country and for almost the same price as an internet bought tom tom with the entire western europe on it. Approx £70 per company. Wake up Road Angel! ...

...SOON AS YOU BUY YOUR ROAD ANGEL 6000 IF YOU WRITE TO CUSTOMER SUPPORT (WHICH IS VERY GOOD AND QUICK) YOU CAN REQUEST "VERSION 3 SOFTWARE" WHICH IS MORE OR LESS THE SAME AS THE SAME AS THE R.A.7000 SOFTWARE. ONCE THEY HAVE SENT YOU THIS NEW SD CARD YOU HAVE MANY MORE FEATURES AND YOU ALSO ARE ABLE TO CHANGE THE VOICES TOO!!! I PERSONALLY RATE THIS 10 / 10 AS IT GIVES YOU PLENTY OF WARNING (WHICH YOU CAN AJUST BY THE WAY) BEFORE SPEED CAMERAS ETC. ...
