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
...NOW BEFORE I START THIS REVIEW.
I AM NOT CONDONING DANGEROUS DRIVING OR UNNECESSARY SPEEDING.
The Bel Euro 550 is an updated and enhanced verison of the Bel 980 I reviewd earlier-some of the review will be duplicated but not everybody is going to want to read two reviews to get info about one product so here goes..
I owned a Bel 980 for almost two years back between 2000-2002 and was very happy with it's performance.Progress never stops and eventually it has been updated and enhanced.
Now, I purchased a Valentine One and my boss recognised the need for a good Radardetector but didn't want to spend £400-600 on it. So after a discussion, I recommended the Euro 550.
The Euro 550 is the current top of the range detector available from Bel and available through a number of suppliers. RRP is currently £399.95 through Networx...
Advantages: Competitively priced, easy to use & understand Disadvantages: Pricey database updates.
...warnings of fixed, possible mobile and red light camera's. I also liked the fact that it used the same sort of satellite-based technology that my wife's TomTom GPS unit uses. Another plus was that the database in the device was updatable via Talex's website. Neat.
I took it home and cracked the box open, ready to install it in my new Mazda. In the box I got the Talex unit itself, (...oblongish, about 10cm x 6cm x 2cm, in dark grey metallic plastic,.green LCD segment display), the lighter-socket plug in power cord, the magnetic mount and number of cable guides to stick on your dash, to help up the length of power lead (of which there is a LOT. They didn't scrimp on that, I can assure you) and instructions.
The first trick was to stick the magnetic mount onto my chosen dash position. I did this (on the top, not the front) but found...
Advantages: Very fast connection speeds Disadvantages: None
...After purchasing a Pocket PC (HP hx4700) mainly for use as a calender assistant and portable web browsing device, I soon discovered that it could also be used as a portable Sat Nav device as well, allowing applications such as Tomtom to be uploaded onto it, and for those who are interested in light aircraft flying, like me, memory map is fantastic aviation GPS program which can be used on using actual CAA aviation maps with GPS data overlay for flight planning and tracking purposes. The one extra hardware add-on which is needed to allow tomtom and memory map to function is a GPS receiver device. I had previously purchased a Compact Flash card extension GPS receiver which plugged into the Pocket PC's existing ports directly, unfortunately, it was very poor at satellite tracking and position locking, taking several minutes to lock-on to...
Advantages: Peace of Mind Disadvantages: Have to remember to change them
...detectors, the ones I chose were from Tesco and a twin pack costs £4.99 which is a small price to pay for Peace of mind. These discs are placed on the wall near gas appliances and a change in the colour will register whether carbon monoxide is apparent. I now live in the country, without gas but if I remember right the detectors last for 60 days and then have to be replaced.
They also must not be placed near nappies or any cleaning products that could contain ammonia as this could affect the reading.
This product though is no substitute for having your gas appliances tested professionally...
Advantages: Lightweight and waterproof Disadvantages: Wrist Strap
...I am a commercial fisherman who relies on both exact and dependability in a Gps navigation aid.
The Garmin Gps 72 is a very dependable unit i use another brand on my boat while working and i have the gp 72 beside it and have found it to be a better unit allround, so i hear you all say, well this is why i mentioned my other unit, the other ones costs nearly £700 and is a fixed unit, with a smaller display.
My gp 72 cost me £130 and is handheld and portable, also with the correct lead available from Garmin you can download and update data from your computer or laptop.
I use mine for work when i am called out for the HM Coastguard Cliff Rescue Team that i am a member of and found it is very accurate and dependable.
It has a clear display excellent features easy to use menus and functions, setup is easy as all you have to do is...

Review of Garmin GPS 72
Advantages: Excellent sat-nav package at low price, well-spec'd handheld computer Disadvantages: Advertising unclear: hidden costs of full European package
...When I decided too buy this product, I wasn't specifically looking for a handheld computer, I was after a decent (but inexpensive) GPSsatellite navigation system; and the Acer n35 is not only the cheapest GPS-equipped handheld, it's actually cheaper than most dedicated sat-nav systems, so the fact that this device functions as a computer with numerous other facilities is a pure bonus!
You can easily pay £400 for a dedicated portable sat-nav system like the Tom Tom Go, and similar amounts for sat-nav equipped handhelds, but the Acer can be had for as little as £240 brand new with full guarantee. You see already the main economic advantage, especially when you compare it to the four-figure sums that car manufacturers charge for built-in sat-nav systems....
The Acer n35 is basically the n30 without BlueTooth capability...

Review of Acer N35 GPS
Advantages: Improves reception, loading time is dramatically reduced, Much better accuracy Disadvantages: plating is wearing off the connector
...and finally brought forward to the dashboard with a couple of feet to spare. The antenna itself is a small plastic box with a strong magnet on the bottom, so theer is no fixing to worry about.
I plugged the lead into the Sat Nav and switched on. In a couple of seconds it was displaying "Ready to Navigate"
Since then, about 10 days ago, I have covered over 2,000 miles and have not lost reception once, including the wooded section of the A350 just north of Shaftesbury in Dorset, where I always lost signal for about 2 miles.
I have noticed some of the plating wearing off the plug, exposing bare plastic.
This is because It is not a good idea to leave the SAT NAV in the car when parked, so I have to take the cable out if I park somewhere dodgy, like city centres. I must say that this does not appear to have affected performance.
It...
Advantages: Superb characterisation Disadvantages: Possibly too dark at points for some viewers
...Sade to desist and depart***
In all the previous series? the next member of staff in line has been Corporal ?Radar? O?Reily but this series sees Radar being sent home and so he only plays a minimal part in the first five episodes. It is Klinger therefore that steps up to the plate of Company Clerk after Radar?s departure. The rest of the series has seen Klinger bucking for a section 8, madness, discharge and so frequenting the camp in women?s clothing. In this series however he gives up the women?s clothing and although he doesn?t completely give up trying to escape the army this change to his character allows us to see a far different side to Klinger than we have before. Ultimately he proves that he is not only a superb orderly and general help in pre-op post-op and the operating room itself but can also be relied upon to do clerical...
Advantages: Great value for the money. Disadvantages: No wireless connection
...I just wanted to own a GPS for a long time, and recently I could get this PDA with integrated GPS at last.
First of all, I'd like to share with you why did I chose this one, among all the choices available.
What's a GPS?
GPS means Global Positioning System. A GPS receiver is a piece of hardware capable of calculate the position using the signals received from at least three satellites of the GPS network. Civil use GPS receivers can calculate our position in the globe with a precision of about 15 m.
Why do you need a GPS?
First , i'm a techie, so I love to have this kind of stuff. The second reason is for using it in the car. I'm traveling quite a lot nowadays, and having a co-pilot who knows all the addresses and how to reach them is a good point. I also wanted to use it when trekking, and use it in my motorbike. So I don...

Review of Acer N35 GPS
Advantages: Cheap and easy to use Disadvantages: Build quality an issue
...****** Introduction ******
Welcome to my second review based around GPS receivers even though this is my second review this product was actually the first GPS receiver I purchased. I won't go into too much detail into the workings of GPS as I covered this in detail in my earlier review of the internet Bluetooth GPS receiver( Why not take a look at this review go on you know you want to).GPS basically uses a series of satellites that orbit the planet to triangulate your position on the planet. A gps receiver reads the signal and with the use of navigation software (for example TomTom) and allows you to plan routes based on your current position and your destination.
******* Product Overview ********
This unit is a GPS receiver that works by slotting into a compact flash port in my case the one that I have on my IPAQ pda...
