"Fantastic Piece of Kit"
recommended review

I've had my Road Angel for 14 months now and it's proved itself to be a fantastic device; well worth the purchase price.

The warnings are given in good time, although with the roof off/music on, the audible warning can be a little quiet. The L...

Its a brease to use and works a treat.

"GPS excellent, question over laser detector though"
recommended review

The GPS system works really well. I get the odd false alert as you travel the motorways but I do around 35,000 miles a yr so no surprises really.
BUT, do not rely on the laser detector. A camera van got me doing 80 in a 70. 3 points and £60. Of cours...

"GPS unit is excellent, not sure about the laser alert"

My GPS unit works with 100% accuracy, not sure if the laser detector will work with the Chim's high bonnet in the way.

It needs to be turned off on the M25 as it goes off almost continuously but is awesome for winding roads with cameras lurking ...

East to use and as accurate as you can get no false alerts from cameras on the other side of the road or beneath the bridge. Wouldn't bother with the lazer alert as it is going to be too late if it goes off unless you are really lucky

I bought the unit with Laser Detect and it appears to work very well. I've not 'seen' the Laser side work as yet but the main unit picks up the majority of the cameras I know about (9 fixed + 2 mobile sites on a 26 mile journey!). I've since added the one...

Some problems updating on line, but I think it's my computer (OK when I use ny laptop!).
Some false alarms eg Watford area of M25 where it may be picking up the position of a camera on the road below and leaving High Wycombe on A4125.
Not sure a...
