| Road angel, snooper Morning, i have been looking at sat nav systems reccently and im drawn towards the road angel or snooper systems because of the speed camera feature they have. Does anyone have any experiance with this type of thing? as i am curious as to how well they work along witht he navigation side of things. Thanks David

| doM repuS | Re: Road angel, snooper I think you would be better off with a normal Sat Nav, with the speed camera database on. I use a Garmin, and update the database weekly, for a minimal yearly fee. Granted, it only shows FIXED points, and spots where mobile units MAY be, but that tends to be good enough. Dedicated ones will have laser detection though, not sure of legality of this now.

I use the official Garmin one, which I renewed at £29 for a year BUT I have also seen these guys do it for £19: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras I may be tempted to move to them on renewal. You can also see the compatible units as well ![]()

| doM repuS | Re: Road angel, snooper Oh, I see you are not too far away from me - I am south east side of Northampton. If you want a demonstration of a Garmin with a speed camera database on, give me a shout

| *custom name* | Re: Road angel, snooper the road angel or snooper units will be dedicated to either laser or radar, im not sure if theyve produced an all round one yet so even if it did hand held units, it will only do some of them plus if it tells you theres a hand held one on you, its too late, youve about a second or less to slow down so your caught pretty much best bet is a jammer lol. bit of a grey area in the law but becoming more and more black ![]() you can get a navigation system for buttons these days so i wouldnt worry bout that and as stu said, all sat nav companies usually do fixed speed cameras as they are just gps locations
