General Comments

I have had the Road Angel 2 for a long time now & would not consider driving without it. It gives you plenty of warning for cameras & tells you your real speed, which means no more sudden slowing at a camera site. You do bemoan all those drivers without that suddenly brake for cameras (at times causing accidents) little realizing that they are often slowing to a much slower speed than they need to. Thus this unit reduces accidents & improves fuel economy.
The database is clearly provided by the users so when new cameras appear you may get no warning, but once you or others have marked it the database will show it within a week or so. I do feel the subscription is too costly & personally no longer subscribe as I regularly drive in the same area, however if I need to make any long trips elsewhere I'll renew.
The laser function is of limited use as the police target cars number plates so a detector on the dashboard is ineffective unless the copper is far enough away, there is a number plate accessory however if your worried about this, but remember laser detectors may be made illegal in due course.
The windscreen mount is OK although once in a while the unit can fall off its magnetic mount when turning tight corners.
Overall it's a well made devise that does what its supposed to pretty well, hopefully with the increase in GPS route finders including a camera function blackspot will drop their prices soon.

    What Freeky says is all true, for cheaper units check out www.roadangel.co.uk for their 2nd hand unit as part of thier trade in scheme.
