Radar Detectors

Gives you a sporting chance...

Advantages: Excellent detection range for both Radar and Laser based speed traps, full info display, voice alert, effective against Ku band Mini GATSO cameras
Disadvantages: Will nor spot passive devices such as SPECS and TRUVELO, planned to make it along with other detectors of it's type illegal in 2006

Review of Beltronics Bel 550 Euro Radar Detector

A licence saver...

Advantages: Good range and effective against the two main types of spedtraps, choice of modes, Voice Alert
Disadvantages: Doesn't cover the new Ku band Mini Gatso cameras, passive cameras such as SPECS, TRUVELO, possibility of it becoming illegal in 2006

Review of Blackspot New Road Angel 2

My Road Angel!

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: some may want battery life to last longer

Review of Blackspot Road Angel

Original Navigator still the best from Road Angel

Advantages: Good mapping, clear speed display, easily understood speed warnings, great customer service
Disadvantages: It takes a minute or so to boot up - an age when you want to drive away NOW!

I had my Road Angel Navigator stolen, and decided to replace it with the cheaper Road Angel Navigator 7000. It's OK-ish but I found the verbal direction instructions less clear and often they were provided too late, compared to the original Navigator. ...
