road angel navigator is a pile of shite. used it once and hated it. bought a tomtom one last night and its so much better.

I also have a Roadandgel Plus for sale. u2u me for details. (this is the wireless one that picks up ALL cameras) also comes fully subscribed and in box.

slow
slow to pick up satelites
slow to recaculate
inaccurate
piss poor menu system
general quality of the unit isnt as good as others


to be honest if you buy a vcr tv combo there is a compromise, same goes for this.
i also hink they brought it out without fully testing it

Yeah stay as far away from the RoadAngel as you can. I had one for a week and it was crap. Navigation was frustrating, and would routinely give the wrong voice directions. Poor signal, and terrible start up and GPS lockon time.

And yes, the TomTom is the best navigator I have ever seen. Very easy to use, acurate directions, and GPS lockon is pretty good too.

not necessarily. if they were targeting the car in front of you or to the side of you or behind you when the road angel picked it up it gives you time to slow down.
