snooper indago

[crackthatoff]

was contemplating one of these as the reviews from you lot seem to indicate that they are quite good, I realised they are from last year though.
so is the indago still worth buying or has it been superceeded by a new one?, I wanted somethhing that is good for cameras and sat nav too !

I am just considering replacing mine. I got one as they were released, and found that it took an eternity to lock on to the satellites - in an open topped car! I eventually got fed up with it, and sent it back for repair. Their customer services dept were terrific, turned it round quickly by sending me a new set.

At first it wa smuch better, but sadly it has degenerated to being very slow again. It can take 30mins to lock on. When you go through tunnels, as i aften do you lose teh satellite and that is it again.

The other feature that it lacks, at least for me, is an "itinerary" feature. On long organised hoons, it would be great to plug in the entire route, but the Indago only goes from A to B via C.

Used as a Sat Nav and speed cam detector - when it works - it is agreat piece of kit, but sadly it just doesn't work often enough for me. May be it is the area in which i live, the M3 / M4 corridor

I will be going for a Tom Tom soon.

cheers for that I dont suppose youv've had a play with the snooper syrius or the strabo ?
Ive just been down to currys and am pretty tempted to go for the tom tom 520 for £180 it also has bluetooth hands free kit if I understand it correctly!

Don't know those i'm afraid .
As i use mine mostly in the TVR, bluetooth is a bit of a chocolate teapot for me
I will be buying the TomTom XL Europe, which seem to be a good price at the moment. Good luck with your choice.
