  Road Angel Plus.
  We purchased this unit purely for the long drives we do to Scotland twice a year or so and never had any issues or so we thought. The first time it went wrong it was fixed within the warranty period and all was well. The second time it went wrong it was uneconomical to repair and we were offered a discount to upgrade (they start sounding like sales people at this point and my partner nearly fell for it, a new pretty colour unit for only £xxx or for a bit more you can have the one that tracks for just £xx and we'll give you 6 months worth of updates free etc). The discount in my mind was not a great deal and why should I pay for a new device just because the data chip had gone and they deemed it to expensive to repair. The form you complete for repairs states out of warranty repairs are usually between £30 and £60, it was less than 2 years old. You expect a device that you spend £250 on to last longer than 2 years. We are still fighting and probably going to go down the small claims court route. Sometimes it is a matter of principle as well as money! Forking out another £125 is madness, for what, it to go wrong in less than 2 years and have to upgrade again... from what I have read it appears you need to be prepared to upgrade every 2 years to benefit from this product! Heading back to Snooper at this rate!

  Had this device for two years and it has saved me (and co-drivers) on several occasions. As authorities change the speed limits now so many times on a single stretch of road it is easy to get distracted or forget which speed limit you are in.

  I first bought a Road Angel 3 years ago but I found the database not picking up cameras even though I'd updated the Road Angel a few days earlier, after my free 6 month subscription ran out I bought a Snooper camera detector that had all the cameras in the system and when a new camera goes up snooper always updated it within a week of a camera being up, however I recently dropped my snooper and I broken it, so as I already had a Road Angel I bought a 2 year subscription costing £79 and I ...

  I bought this for myself and a Snooper Syrius for a present and found that the Syrius for £50 more wiped the floor with the Road Angel plus. Its camera and blackspot detection were far more accurate than the extremely disappointing Road Angel. The voice and sounds on the Road Angel are annoying. Due to the complex nature of storing your own blackspot information, the unit hardly ever gets accurate updates via the web. Do not buy this flimsy unit. Most sat navs do more than this now.

  Expensive tool - that does not do all that is claimed by the manufacturer.
  (Never detected a mobile unit - 30k miles and passed several camera vans, tax vans, and 2 hand held units).
  It can help keep your license, but I can not rely on it as I had hoped.

  Great as a reminder not to go too fast and great for static cameras. Do not believe that it picks up mobile units - in 2 years I've either been very lucky that they choose not to point at my car or it doesn't work. I know which I choose to believe.
  
  I can no longer get a power lead for the Road Angel GPS speed camera detector without paying extra money, even though not one of them has lasted 12 months! The annual premium is not refundable either, despite there being 6 months left on a unit ...

  The magnetic base on which the Road Angel sits is too weak to hold the set in place firmly and you find yourself constantly readjusting it. The screen keeps reminding you to update even when you have done and this can be a distraction when driving. The updates available on line are not recent enough to capture new installation cameras - particularly at road works etc. All the information available on Road angel can be loaded on to the better versions of sat nav with better screen, more functions ...

  I upgraded from my classic Road Angel, which I had for a number of years. This unit works extremely well, and I'm glad I went for the Road Angel 2. This was all due to the very honest advice I received from speed detectors UK, who really seemed to know their stuff. Their site I think is: http://www.speed-detectors.co.uk.
  
  I'm very happy with the unit, and I would definitely say to other people to buy one, if only to stop Tony Blair getting all our hard earned money from the cameras in the UK. ...

  I used to work in the trade and sold all the various GPS detectors and this Road Angel GPS Speed Camera Detector is the one I chose personally. Compared to the Snooper equivalent, it works better, is more reliable, has more features and is cheaper to buy and update. It's only been wrong occasionally and these have always been warnings of cameras that are no longer there or of ones on side roads running parallel to me. All the competitors do the last one, so must be unavoidable! The only prob ...

  This Road Angel is the only GPS Speed Camera Detectors I've owned so I can't really compare it to anything else. But it works as it was supposed to, you get plenty of warning for cameras, schools, congestion charge zones and blackspots, plus you can configure the settings to all sorts of levels - LEDs, distance, sounds etc.
  It's really helped me slow myself down (9 points already)and I've found myself driving a little better because of it. I used to go a little over the speed limit on cameras ...
