have to say that im more than impressed-

after having a snooper for a week before taking it back due to various false alarms and the fact that they dont work- decided to splash out a bit of extra cash on the road angel.

locates all fixed gatsos, truvelos, mobile laser traps, specs ect, and warns you of many accident blackspots- you plug it into your computer once a month and share new information with other users, updates all new gatsos

-gps works incredibly accurately, blackspots are usefull if you dont know the road and you also get a laser blocker and scrambler free at the moment- one of the trickest things ive bought , and its a potential life and license saver

was £399-

vibrio- yes it does, but its only really accurate when you are at a steady speed- under heavy acceleration there is obviously some lag from the sattelight to the readout

apparantly the signal from a mobile laser speed trap can be scrambled so it cant get an accurate readout on your speed- you should never have to test this though cos it will warn you before you get to the trap

where did you get it from? my dad had 3 points from a few years ago, then got 6 in a week (two SP30's in the same week, the second before he knew about the first!) and he is desperate for something to help him when he "slips up"...

ok- yes the laser jammer is just a seperate attatchment that you dont have to use- however- it is fully road legal, and my insurance company have ok'd it too

drunkenfool- most stereo shops, car parts stores sell them- it doesnt give you a license to speed , but it does help you not to make stupid mistakes when not fully concentrating on roads you dont know

I have one to, Find it is very good!!
used to travel round the uk on work to unknown places. it helped me spot the cameras. No unwanted alerts!! you can also program blacksports and local places you feel that need alerts. I paid £399.00 from halfords with a years membership.

No but you would want it so you can see it, it gives a display of how close you are to a camera, and then turns red and flashes when you are there. It can give you a quite accurate reading of how fast you car goes as well. or how much your speedo is out.
