Hi, I got caught speeding the other for the 1st time in 8 years of driving :cry: . So i'm looking at getting a detector. I really want one that detects everything, but can't really afford £400 for the new road angel. Has anyone else got any other models that they'd recomend that aren't too expensive?

:? :?

I want someting to tell me when a speed camera is about to get me, not to take me to the nearest curry house! Or does it do both?

I was looking at the hand held computer thingys, apparenlty you can download speed camera sites onto it, and have it as sat nav?

Them are the ones, I have a XDA with Tom Tom Navigator plus check point navigator which shows you where the cameras are.

I was thinking about getting one of them but not from COMET, they seem to be a tad expensive.

comet expensive? they are still £420 in dixons. and still £400 on ebuyer.com.

not seen the stand alone tomtom GO system for cheaper than comet, but i know you can pick up a PDA with the tom tom navigator software on it for less.

even on e-bay they are still going for £400 !!
