Maybe... Probably, because they do everything else perfectly. It even tells you where dangerous corners/junctions/stuff is

By the time you've detected the radar, it's already got you, surely.
Road Angel has GPS databases for cameras too though, doesn't it?

i seen those laser detector things in revs, they sell them at halfords total waste of cash, it says "Bleeps when it detects your being targetted" by the time your targetted your already done! , and says "detects up to 2km away" yeah thats based on a dead straight road with no obstacles and that you can actually see the van that far away, most of them you cant see until 200 yards away or so because they are tucked away, what a load of crap!

mate if the police know what they are doing they can do it so that you detector wont pick up any beam at all and if it does it'll be too late so i wouldnt worry too much about that. Dont ask me how they do it cause i no idea i just remember reading it somewhere i cant vouch its true but it makes sense if your road angel doesnt pick em up!

Indeed.
Cheapest way is to just not speed, but I keep contemplating the PDA option.
Was the GPS reciever expensive?
