I've just bought myself one of the new camera detectors from Road Angel. I know most people use the relatively cheap Waze and other apps that operate on their phones but I've tried them and just can't get on with them.
Just a bit of history I have used Road Angel products for far longer than I can accurately remember.
Many years ago when my business was a lot bigger I would travel all over the country surveying buildings with a view to sending a quotation for re-roofing. Around the beginning of the 90's I noticed that there were quite a few fixed cameras and later vans on my travels.
It was then that I bought my first Road Angel camera detector and I can say that it proved be be an absolute license saver. Not because I drive in a reckless, fast manner more a case of being late for an appointment due to congestion and not knowing the area, I'd turn a corner and zap a camera van or fixed camera where you wouldn't expect one.
I can say with all confidence that the Road Angel warned me on at least 20 odd occasions of such a trap.
Fast forward to 2014 and I bought my 4th Road Angel the all singing, dancing Gem+ that when just over a year old died on me. It was a case of talk to the hand (a bit like Karcher) when dealing with RA so I vowed reluctantly to never darken their doors again.
Having tried and not got on with the phone based detectors this week I relented and bought the new model, it's really very good advising me of active mobile camera vans on one trip and advising me of my speed through average speed cameras.
So far pleased so if anyone else is looking for a decent reliable device to help in the fight against sneaky camera set ups there is something to help.
