    I've had the road angel for over a year now, and it's been a fantastic buy!! No false alerts and the data base is well maintained (by users and the company).
    Great when your driving in a strange town [:D]

    doubt the 75 snooper does GPS? Saw an advert in the services last night for the latest GPS snooper that was 399.99 [:s]

    I've got a RoadAngel classic, it's a handy thing, but not as good as the Origin B2 that Claire has.

    Worrying thing for me that the RA didn't pick up a camera van as I came round a corner @ 80ish the other Sunday [:$]

    Apparently unless they aim the gun at your windscreen the laser alert 'ball' is next to useless. [xx(]

    So even with these GPS gadgets, you've still got to be alert and vigilant(e)? for the camera vans :lol: There will be more and more vans used on our roads, esp as the nicer weather is hopefully upon us. [8D]

    Snooper SR-6 neo with the radar thingy is good for the gps, the detector gets a few false alarms for kband but nothing chronic. Doesn't look as good as the RA, but I'm happy with it.

    I've had the RA go off when i was coming round a bend and it picked up scatter from the laser when it was targeted on the car infront! Quick dab of the brakes and no fine!!!! [:D]

    My mate got given a PDA by work for free, so i downloaded TomTom Navigator 3 free for him. Then i pointed him towards the CheckPOInt software and the free Speed Camera database. After he got his GPS receiver for 45 and a couple of cables, he has full GPS Sat Nav and GPS Speed Camera/Blackspot locator (with 30 second, and 10 second warnings) for 60.

    The B2 Origin is a brilliant piece of kit, i went to Inters last year in a car with one and it was very useful.

    Only disadvantage is no radar, but from previous experience with a Snooper i owned (and promptly sold) i wont be missing much.
