Here is a UK designed and manufactured Satellite Navigation system that is also a speed camera and traffic black spot alert system. It retails out at just under £600 but it’s worth every penny in our opinion here at Techlounge.
The Road Angel has state of the art touch screen and a full integrated QWERTY keyboard that makes it so easy to tap in the postcode, or street name into the device. One thing that we all find annoying is that with some Sat Nav systems it takes so long to set the route up before you set off. With the Road Angel it uses predictor text so it is even easier.
The maps are displayed in either 2D or 3D depending what your preference is, and set up is easy. The colour screen makes it very clear where you need to be going and there are also voice prompts that can be set up to let you know to turn at your preferred warning time. The most useful thing about the Road Angel is that it will check your speed when you are coming up to speed cameras and traffic black spots. The updates are done via USB and you have to subscribe for the monthly downloads.
No more getting caught out by those speed cameras then. Great technology
I would NEVER buy anything even remotely attached to Blackspot “Road Angel”
I bought a unit 2 1/2 Yrs ago and it has never worked properly since the day I bought it. I have complained and complained. Their aftersales service is rubbish. I am now threatening legal action for return of my money. And low and behold they now want to strat talking to me…Oh, Yes but they’ve lost all previous correspondence…so could we start all over again.
NAH ! See you in court blackspot !
(PS: since buying my unit I have found out that I am not the only person who thinks they stink…I got over 300 responses to a blog, agreeing with me)
