not overly impressed with it, considering taking it back and getting a tom tom 700 or something and then adding the speed camera POI's. I thought it would show road names on the map as you went past them but it doesn't or is there a setting i need to change?

Don't go for a drive anywhere when trying to get a gps fix.
It will only take longer.
Place receiver in clear view of the sky and stationary.
Thats the quickest way.

yeah, agree, if you go drive to a open space. leave it still itll get a signal quicker. its gotta find all the satelites and record there coordinates
then its fine

my sister has got one of those. she got it yesterday and is havin probs 2. says the same as wot urs does tom. she has been told to jus leave it 2 get signal or summink

Honestly The sat nav part is shite on those!! I had a few back at work from faults. The angel part is just as awesome as the normal units. Personally Id go for a tom tom 3/5/700 and get the free cmara down load from pocketgps.co.uk

i'll give them a ring in the morning, probably get a faster response

have you sent them an e-mail, their tech support is very good.

but it updated fine?

takes 24 hours from registration before it will update.

Got a Road Angel Navigator today, and already had enough of it :mad:
First it said it needed registering, so did that and downloaded updates to keep it happy. Havent got it actually doing anything yet and i get this message:

‘System Time has been changed. Please correct then relaunch CoPilot’

Been on the website and this was the solution
The unit has not acquired GPS data since it has been switched on. Switch the unit on with a clear view of the sky to enable the unit to acquire GPS data which allow the unit to obtain the current time and date

I have stood in an open, not in the car, with no obstructions and a clear view of the sky, and it still says this error message
