I use and reccomend the Valentine 1 (from USA)

OK, it's a bit "low tech" compared to modern rivals BUT it is the most sensitive device for advance warning of fixed camera sites (radar).........also, the lazer detector is good but of course it can be too late to react to "instant on" laser gun/camera once you've been targeted

Not tried the S4......but heard that it is VERY good

RoadAngel 2 is spot on but if you can afford it the new RoadAngel Navigator looks cool too.

the display on the road angel 2 shows more info at 1 time

the snooper can only display, warning or speed or time, not all together like the road angel 2


BUT the snooper does 1 fuction thats more important to me,,,,,,,,,,

thats the camera warnings are for EITHER motorway or local/normal roads or both

the road angel sets off alerts when your on a motorway doing 130 when the actual camera is on a normal 30mph road that you ust happen to be passing ( the most obvious is the M6 toll road comming towards the M1,,,,,,, when i bought the cossie and was bringing it back i had my road angel 2 in the car and was just seeing if it was all fine ect

having it warn you of a camera when you set it for 250 meter distance warning and your doing 135 in a new car your aint used to is a silly idea,,,,,,, braking like a fooker whilst looking for a camera that dont fucking exsist aint funny


hence why i binned it and got the snooper s4,,,,,,,, stu uses that one too i belive

its not a sales point at all

if you wanted a sales point then i would say ill sell you a oragin B2 camera detector at trade plus vat for 266quid(ish) as i need to sell some at work to turn em over

they retail at 369.95 but ill sell it at trade plus vat,,,,, thats NO profit at all


BUT i would go for the snooper S4

if the snooper had the display functions of the road angel 2 ( not that fucking blue screen bollox though , hate that as it dont match my car at all ) then it would be the best in the world

but for function the snooper is the best IMO

does it time out all the time like the road angel 2 does and mean you have to keep unplugging it to get it to reconect

or you just selling a product for sales

IF its a satnav system them PLEASE try em first as the only sat nav i like thats user friendly ive tried is the nissan top spec one

most of the others have too small a display to be any use unless its got a proper monitor

ive got onei use in the van and its pants, got the alpine satnav in the cossie on myu screen and thats a good system,,,,,,,,, apart from no post code rec

you try finding station road in hertfordshire adn when all you got is

239 station road
herts
en1gfun ( random post code btw)

theres fuckin MILLIONS to go though and its still pointless,,,,,,, i had to use a road atlas and then pin point on the sat nav,,,,,,,,,, makes me think its pointless
