Snooper Indago - first impressions

[Tonsko]

Bought one of these things the other day - I was mainly after a speed camera database thing, and since the RA's are around 200 quid anyway, I though I may as well geta sat nav thrown in. The RA sat nav hasn't had too many favourable reviews, and I rather fancied the built quality of this...

Anyway, first impressions - build quality is high, aluminium case, large bright screen, easy to navigate menus. Software seems well programmed and not like some of the shit some manufacturers (Can you hear me Netgear?) get you to install on your PC - small footprint, fast, innocuous.

It's still taking it's time to contact the GPS satellites - but it's picked up the time and date, but no latitude/longitude yet. They warn you that it takes it's time on first start - they're not lying.

This is the first sat nav device I've actually held, it seems like a nice thing.

[Edit]Just took it outside, it connected to 5 satellites immediately. So that's all good.

Needed to get to an art gallery in gateshead on sunday - it took us straight there no problems (from leeds). There was a bit of fooling about at the gateshead end, but just parked at a car park it took us to, and the gallery was a 5 minute walk. All very successful.

I've just ordered the Snooper Syrious, as my TT300 has given up the ghost and the road angel classic is getting a bit long in the tooth.
