Road Angle navigator??

[dannyboy172]

Thinking of getting one of these units, purely for the joint sat nav and speed camera detection combo. Has anyone got one of these? What are they like, easy to use and realiable? Also do you need or can you get an antenna extension from them due to the heat reflective windscreen??

Thanks all.

my mum has got one, she says its good, its touch screen and that.

i havent used it personally but the screen is clear and instructions are loud.

Not sure about the reflective screen query though

Don't do it!!!!!!

I've just sent mine back to exchange for the Snooper Indago, which will hopefully be better.

Crashed on me a few times, found a few bugs in their software (one which Blackspot admitted was quite bad), plenty of "little" things that annoyed me about it.

Just my opinion

I guess it depends on how you want to use it really. The crashing pissed me off as it went 3 times in two trips, 2 times in town centres where I really wanted navigation, and the other time in an area that had loads of speed cameras.

I don't know if the Snooper will be any better, but a few people have said they are.

Oh no

thats bad! heard something along these lines in EVO last month, but still liked the look of the unit and combo of the nav and speed camera detection. I do a lot of driving, all over the country, to some quite obsecure places for work, so would need a realiable unit.

Thanks for the info fella.

I'll be looking else where then, let me know how you get on with the snooper.

Someone else on here (also called Rob iirc) wrote a review of the Snooper.

Just search for "snooper" (or road angel navigator I guess)

Cheers Rob.

Can you only get these units from snooper direct?

You can buy them all over the place. Mine is coming from here :

Same price as the Road Angel. Not sure I'd specifically that recommend that website, but I don't have any choice in the matter right now.
