Safety Cameras Road Angel Professional

[Rich 11]

Has anyone got or know of anyone that has this..................



If so i would like to hear if it's any good

[Kremmen]

How much and.......how much is the monthly/annual subs ?

That's the killer on some of them.

[Rich 11]

£299 and £4 a month..............it also has a tracking system so people can track you

[cylon2007]

Looks nice but seems a tad expensive for a detector only, I'd expect satnav as well for that price

[illegalhunter]

Why are they tracking you , thats the question we should be asking.

[TTDegs]

it's so that you can watch the scote run away with it after they've smashed your window...

[cnicolini]

It looks good, but it does nt have a built in Radar detector like the old model!

it updates itself all the time using phone technology. Its an awesome bit of kit but your better off getting the Road Angel navigator 9000 as it has everything this has plus sat nav for same money. But subs are a tad more.

[gray52]

If It Updates Via Your Phone Then You Will Be Charged For This, I Will Stick To My Snooper Sapphire.

[Type S Bournemouth]

no not via your phone. It has a built in sim card by orange. That is what the monthly £4 is.

I will be getting one shortly.

I have one of these little babies. A brilliant bit of kit.
I got it mainly for the speed cameras,it updates automatically via the orange network every 2 minutes and has the ability to locate mobile camea van locations.The sat nav also has a much more reliable TMC channel, again via the gsm network, which gives much more local traffic problems than the Honda in car kit.

Yep - that's my problem with some of these.

You can get a TT ONE XL and a subscription to the PGPSW camera database for far less than that.

£300 is approaching the top of the range TT's which I think is far better value.

[Rich 11]

now thats interesting.............. there seems to be a downturn in these gadgets , I had one of the first RA when the y came out and was not really impressed. I bought my son a Garmin Sat Nav that has speed camera lactions built in.Anual £25 subscription.
I think £300 is alot when you add on the subscription.

When I posted this I meant to say that its the Navigator 9000 with navigation as well as the Speed camera database
