Display too small to make much practical use of some of the information on it
General Comments
I have used one these Origin B2 GPS Speed Camera Detectors for about a year. Its most infuriating fault is its frequent loss of electrical connection with the mounting stand (in all but the smoothest of cars), which one often doesn't notice unless constantly checking that the display is still actually showing. Such rank sloppy design all but negates its actual features and it seems astonishing that the same brains who went to all the trouble of incorporating those features have poured all their work down the toilet again with such a simple and fundamental design flaw. Also, small displays are fine in themselves, but they are infinitely better if they provide the facility to cycle through the available pieces of information individually (and thus display them larger) rather than trying to show every bit of infornmation at once by cramming it all into one small screen. They should take a lesson from the way Nokia design some of their latest mobile phone displays. If I were forced to buy this again, I'd sacrifice its portability for the benefit of firmly securing it in one vehicle. But it really needs a complete re-think I feel.
