Road Angel Evo

Willie, been flashing again eh ? Tut tut. :))))))

Just get all the maps and download the data Willie

I just had a look at the Road Angel and it looks a bit weird but seems to have all the stuff I need . Is there any other "thingies" on the market .( what the hell is the correct name for this type of "thingie" ?)

Simple cure, don't drive in the big smoke, you should be away travelling.

One of my gripes with the present signage is that
a) you have to know if it's a school day..if its not and you slow down then you have a car embedded in your rear
b) you have to wear a watch and look at it when you become aware of the zone...and I'd suggest that it's distracting from watching the road.

Why not just have some portable flashing lights that operate at appropriate times ?
Why is the onus always on the motorist instead of the authorities ?

goodday willie
i run voxson voxtrack it talks in a female voice my wife calls it my girlfriend but she tells me about most speed cameras .speed zones (although i must update as some of her spped limits vary trying to keep up to the speed limit changes)i type in addresses and she talks me into where to go
you can check it out at voxson site and i bought it from tvsn (foxtel or www.tvsn.com.au)with easy payments

Anyone tried the clear plastic covers that you put over your numberplates and then your plates can not be successfully photographed ?????????????

Willie,

I had someone email me a waypoint file you can load into OziExplorer of all fixed cameras in NSW and VIC. Is about 1month ago but I don't know how old the file is. If you want it, as I got it free, I will sell it cheap LOL. Give me an MM with your email and I will send it through if that is any help. I think you can attach sound files to waypoints in Ozi but I haven't worked that bit out yet, you may know more about it than me anyway.

Cheers, Trevor.

Yep Member Blue has it Willem, thats the one I want next time, it has school zones where as the GPS301 does not

We have a road angel navigator, "given it for free" after a mate was given
a new type "Tom Tom" cause navigator had so many software bugs
and a lot of help was provided to developers to help sort them out.

Tom Tom still has some of the bugs.

Couldn't be bothered with it myself, definately not a tool
of help in the bush, and couldn't really enter a Lat/long waypoint.

Found it again other day and put it in wife's car for fun, she
finds its rather cute. And while there are a number of bugs
it does provide some useful help about school crossings etc.
For some it can provide a comforting level of background information,
giving various speed railway crossing and other warnings.

The voice does cute things like change from female to male with more
serious warnings. Easy to install but screens wash out in sunlight.

Some get concerned about them being solen by breaking widescreen
and apparently it is quite common to take them out of holder
when parking in some places. This is easy to do.

They do need to be upgraded with latest data though particularly
in new suburbs.

I have looked at all the models suggested here and I think I will go with the Road Angel because of price and updates .

Thanks everyone for helping .

Cheers ,

Willie
