Camera Warning Detectors - Feedback Anyone?

What really worries me are the new SPECS digital cameras which monitor your speed over a given distance so I finally succumbed and bought one. Anyone else bought one and how useful is it?

I spent quite a lot, Â£399 on a Road Angel II with its audible voice and LCD visual warning display.

Its expensive though but it seems to work well picking up the fixed camera sites. It also seems to pick up all those damn temporary roadwork cameras on the M25 which keep catching drivers.

I also like the idea of something temporary, this device plugs into the cigar lighter and sticks against the dash or windscreen via plastic suckers so can be taken out in a matter of seconds. It connects to the computer for quick weekly updates via internet downloads.

Road Angel II is a GPS device alerts to: accident blackspots, gatso,truvelo,specs,watchman,speedcurb and DS2 cameras.

A good choice!

Another alternative is the Origin b2 which is the best on the market. This one also has a remote antenna so even if you have a reflective windscreen it can work, whereas you'd have to buy an extra antenna for the Road Angel.
