Advantages: Maybe Save Points on Your Licence. Disadvantages: It Doesn't Work.
...about three hundred notes, the road angel Navigator 7000 boasts 7 digit postcode search, UK street level mapping, major European routes, automatic route calculation, automatic (hazard) updates via blue tooth or USB and turn by turn voice and visual prompts. According to the packaging, you can take this thing out of its box, wack it in your car and bingo you're off, it's THAT user friendly. It feels heavy enough to have substance, but not so heavy ... ...Having used the Road Angel Navigator 7000 around familiar terrain, I would be a little concerned about using it to navigate me around unknown locations I mean, you wouldn't believe where it took me on the way to my work that day. Isn't that the whole point of Sat Nav? To take some of that stress out of driving? I'd take it back if I hadn't thrown the packaging away. ...

Advantages: its compact design Disadvantages: It doesnt work
...was initially drawn to the road angel by its compact design and it appeared quite easy to use, however in practice it is utterly hopeless, the mapping is out of date , very jerky when the car is moving slowly, It will take you on the most outlandish routes to the point where you are definitely better off with a map. I would estimate that it has cost me almost its value in wasted fuel in the last six months,
As for the alerts-yes they work and are ... ...due to heat reflective windscreens, road angel supplied me this item for free after much complaining, however the tom tom I had previously worked fine without an aerial in both of my cars,
I am utterly fed up with mine and now barely use it, I would love my old tom tom back (it was stolen) do yourselves a favour and stay well clear of this one, I wish I had ...

Advantages: Camera database is good Disadvantages: Everything else poor
Having used Road Angel camera devices for a few years, when I needed a new navigation unit I thought this would be a good choice. Wrong... The camera warnings are spot on but the navigation is appauling. I have used Tomtom, Garmin, VDO Dayton and Navman before but the RA 7000 is awful. Wildly inaccurate routes, buggy and the sound and voice just wound me up. Updates via Bluetooth phone, yes if you have one of about 10 compatible phones - so Bluetooth ... ...have come close to launching it out of the window, now have purchased another Tomtom which works great so the RA 7000 is history - just a shame I had it 3 months so it's too late to get a refund. Enjoy my wasted £199 Road Angel Group! ...

Advantages: Speed camera warnings Disadvantages: over-complicated and not intuitive, poor battery, poor graphics, not good value
...to be far superior to Road Angel. I recently changed jobs and the Road Angel came with the car and not wishing to be negative I have given it as thorough a testing as possible and positively worn the instructions to parchment. In summary it is not intuitive, the battery life is poor and gives 'battery critically low' notices after 2.5 hours and there is no option to choose 'written details' of the planned route. I have averaged 45k miles per annum ... ...I had made a quantum leap from road maps; using the Road Angel after Tom Tom feels like I am going backwards again as I keep having to refer to the AA Atlas ! I will be speaking to the boss tomorrow and putting in a request for a replacement ...

Advantages: Size, battery life, camera alerts. Disadvantages: a bit slow to aquire the satellite, voice alerts sometimes misleading.
I have an RA7000, unlike the previous reviewer I have found the written waypoints list, I haven't read the instructions much (tap the centre bar below the map).
The battery life is better than most competitors - they all die in 1-2hrs if you disable the screensaver. I have TomTom on my company Ipaq and would say both systems are equal. TomTom has smoother map scrolling, but RA is much more comprehensive when it comes to cameras.
With the optional ...

Advantages: Alerts for speed cameras Disadvantages: Rotton graphics, poor sound, bad battery
...date. Unfortunately I chose a Road Angel 7000.
It is rubbish. It showed the wrong location the first time I put a post code in , takes often 35 minutes to find a satellite and then the battery goes 25 minutes later. The graphics are crude and the sound quality is just terrible. The speed camera bit works well enough although you pick up a lot of false alarms when passing roads over a motorway as it does not know seem to that the device is not on ...

...the screen rather than the road it is more likely to cause an accident rather than prevent the nav system tells you to turn right onto dual carriage ways the single beep goes on forever all in all this is a really bad piece of kit the postcode search takes you all over the place i went to a golf course and i sent me to lane in the middle of the course all in all it is a shocking tool complete waste of money you would be better spending less money ...

Advantages: Weatherproof, can load OS 1:50k maps Disadvantages: Bike mount poor, no safety lanyard, battery life limited
...might use it off road on the Bicycle as well as on the road and in the car
On the road it works. But I don't like having to reprogram the volume every time I turn it on. It can only access 400Mb Memory-map files so loading all the UK 1:50k in bite size lumps is very very tedious
On the bicycle it is weatherproof but has a fundamental flaw, like the PDA. Its screen requires a backlight to see anything so total run time is short. I carry a spare ... ...on the Road Angel. A GPS has a different screen technology that can be viewed without a backlight. Also for prolonged use the GPS can be run using its USB cable connected to a battery, whereas the Road Angel usb cable does not seem to supply it with power. The bike mount is simply a bike clamp on which the standard car mount fits. OK for riding on civilised flat paths and roads but is no where near strong enough for the rough stuff. Design flaw 2 ...
