An impressive eight-hour battery life for this version means that you can take the unit with you wherever you go and mount it as you want it – bicycle, motorbike, or car. Without the power always having to be attached, it allows so much more freedom for the user. Couple this with the large backlit LCD screen (this also doubles as a visual warning detector – when close to a zone the screen changes back color from blue to red, letting you see that there’s something up ahead, which includes schools and accident blackspots too), giving you constant speed updates and audible as well as visual warnings of the locations of the over 7,000 camera zones in the U.K. Through its database, add in the fact that it also includes details on accident blackspots (again, locations updated through its database) and you have a device worth every penny spent on it. 

With the fully integrated laser device detector for front and rear, the Road Angel 2 becomes even more of a ‘livelihood’ saver than ever before, giving you that little edge to get from 60 to 40 before they tag you, not while they’re writing the ticket for you. However, with the likelihood of laser detectors being banned, you still don’t lose out – a simple little software download allows you to disable the detector, but will still allow you to make use of its database for all fixed cameras, so you’ll have a fully legal system without losing out on the use of the device. This is a huge plus when lined up against the competition. 

A nifty little feature is the ‘over speed’ warning – you set a speed limit for the system to watch for, and when you go over it, it tells you in a nice, clear voice. Very handy on those long boring motorway runs when speed can creep up without you noticing. 

Attention to detail has also gone into the design of the Road Angel 2 – small enough to fit in your pocket or handbag if you don’t want it pinched, large enough screen to be seen clearly, without it looking like another DVD player in your car. Simple to attach to any vehicle, and easy to power up even without batteries using the cigarette lighter attachment. 

Clearly showing that they’ve listened to their customers, and their needs, this device is here to stand the test of time, and to grow with your expanding needs as time goes on, with a product view to being around a long time. Any and all of these features make it a remarkable buy at the price point, now throw in the awesome pinpoint accuracy of its RescueLoc feature which means that you can tell rescue services exactly where you are at any time if you need to, and you’ve got an awesome device with safety features that many would charge you hundreds more for. So save yourself the bother of looking and go straight for the one that works best – Road Angel 2.
