Default GPS and Radar Detectors

Looking at buying one of these. Not exactly sure which one to get though.

Been looking at the new road angel and snooper S4.

Basically it's got to have GPS for gatso, specs, truvelo etc and a radar detector inbuilt as well.

As I've never used one before, and I imagine alot of people here own them I just thought i'd ask whats good on the market now?


Cheers Drunken Master

snooper dont do the s4 or any other snooper for that matter with radar or laser coz the government have just passed a bill forbiding it. I had to send my s4 back for repair and phoned them to ask why it was taking so long.they said they couldnt send a direct replacement.all the new ones have the radar/laser disabled.you might as well go by a jammer mate.sod the government and the law.

Does anyone have any info on the Valentine One detector. Apparently they're recommended by team polizei (Gumball) and have front and rear sensors for radar detection.

Also does anyone on here use the TR30?

this reminds me of a mate having one of these, a road angel and his tom tom with cameras on the dash...

dopey cunt got caught at 110 on the M5 by a plod car following him with calibrated speedo and video etc...

he was obo spending too much time looking at his gadgets rather than looking in his mirrors as it was a marked merc e class

Don't really want to get one because i'm always driving like a twat, just don't want to get a fine for doing 35 in a 30 limit. It's just soo annoying all these cameras everywhere !

And don't want to buy one and find out it's crap. Would just rather get a decent one first time around. Would have thought a few people on here would have them and be able to comment.

On that will look into the S4 Evo though
