angel nav road
a Road Angel Safety Alert System Gatso Safety Cameras and Police Radar and Laser Safety units are often positioned on stretches of road that are considered to be particularly dangerous or where there
angel nav road
is a high number of accidents Many of these speed traps transmit a radar or laser beam that can be detected by a Road Angel However our latest range of products including the
angel nav road
S3 S4 and S6 now incorporate GPS technology so can locate Truvelo SPECs Speedcurb Watchman and DS2 camera systems As a result a Road Angel Safety Alert Systems offer the widest cover available
angel nav road
of Police speed monitoring systems and Accident Blackspots If you have a Road Angel installed therefore you can be sure that you are going to be alerted in advance to as many potentially
angel nav road
dangerous and hazardous situations as possible Enigma Database GPS camera detection systems are only as good as the database of co-ordinates that are stored within them That`s why Road Angel uses Enigma Enigma
angel nav road
consists of a dedicated team whose sole purpose is to research and manage a database of cameras and other points of interest not only in the UK but across the rest of Europe
angel nav road
as well Road Angel can now provide cover from Manchester to Monaco depending on the model chosen See the units individual product features to check which database is available ARE Road AngelS LEGAL
angel nav road
Road Angel Legality Conrmed Due to recent Press coverage of the proposed Road Safety Bill many customers are Concerned about the current legal situation as well as any proposed legislation seeking to ban
angel nav road
Road Angels We can confirm however that GPS Camera locators are not under review in the proposed bill and have written evidence from the Department for Transport to that effect The Government understand
angel nav road
and fully accept the safety benets of GPS based safety systems Products like the Road Angel S4 and S3 warn of danger areas advising users to reduce speed and be aware of the
angel nav road
potential hazard ahead supporting perfectly what safety cameras aim to achieve Direct from the Department for Transport There is no difculty with drivers carrying in their vehicles devices that inform them of the
angel nav road
location of xed safety cameras and cameras operating from mobile units These have the same intention as the signing visibility and conspicuity rules that form part of the nancial scheme under which most
angel nav road
cameras are placed These devices operate currently under Global Positional Systems (GPS) They work by keeping the position of cameras up to date on a computer and identifying where they are in relation
angel nav road
to a vehicle by use of a satellite There is no intention to ban these Offering genuine safety benefits In May 2001 MORI poll carried out a survey which amongst other things aimed
angel nav road
to evaluate the driving habits behaviours and accident rates of radar detector users and non radar detector users A similar poll conducted in the USA a few years earlier had produced some very
angel nav road
surprising results and it was interesting to see if the same results would be returned in the UK It is a common misconception often from people who have never actually used a radar
angel nav road
detector that people who do do so to speed with impunity and as a result are more dangerous drivers and must surely add to the already too high fatalities on British roads The
angel nav road
facts are very different Radar detector users on average drive 73952 miles further between accidents than non-radar detector users 75% of users claim to be more aware of keeping to the speed limit
angel nav road
since they purchased a detector Users claim to travel 50% further between accidents than non-users 60% of users claim to have become a safer driver since purchasing a radar detector 75% of users
angel nav road
have become more speed aware since purchasing a radar detector Road Angel Helping to create a safer driving environment Ultilising the very latest Global Positioning Satellite GPS and laser technology Road Angel have
angel nav road
created the S3 neo a cost effective GPS Safety Alert System that also includes a built-in 360 degree laser detector The Road Angel neo has been specially designed to help you drive safely
angel nav road
within the confines of todays speed limits by alerting you quickly and easily to the presence of Police speed traps often located at Accident Blackspots electronically indicating potentially dangerous and hazardous situations Advanced
angel nav road
Technology The geographical co-ordinates of all fixed speed monitoring systems schools and many officially designated accident hotspots have been stored on a database that is constantly monitored and up-dated by our data collection
angel nav road
team ensuringthat you are alerted to every potentially hazardous stretch of road or danger spot Simply connect the S3 to a compatible PC and this concise database can be downloaded in a matter
angel nav road
of minutes The Road Angel S3 then compares your position using it`s built-in GPS antenna with the position of every known fixed speed monitoring system and accident `hotspot` alerting you both audibly and
angel nav road
visualy via a speaker and a series of coloured LED`s Safety Outside Schools The Road Angel database now also incorporates SchoolsThis optional feature will alert you clearly in advance of nearly all the
angel nav road
Schools in Britain ensuring your highest concentration along the most sensitive stretches of road in the UK Laser Detection as Standard The Road Angel comes complete with a built-in 360 degree laser detector
angel nav road
This laser detector has been designed to detect all types of mobile laser speed monitoring systems often used in danger spots where Fixed systems cannot be easily utilised As a result Road Angel
angel nav road
will alert you to nearly every speed monitoring system and accident hotspot whether Fixed or Mobile Genuine Plug and Play Installation The Road Angel is the most cost effective GPS Safety Alert System
angel nav road
with built-in 360 degree laser detection available on the market As both technologies are incorporated in the one unit installation is simple Mount the device in a suitable position on the dashboard or
angel nav road
windscreen and connect it to the vehicles cigarette lighter socket with the power cable provided then switch it on It really is as simple as that The Road Angel has been designed to
angel nav road
alert you to Police Speed Monitoring Systems Schools and Accident Blackspots through a combination of Audible and Visual alerts A built-in piezo bleeper alerts you audibly whilst a series of bright coloured LED`s
angel nav road
alert you visually indicating the type of location you are approaching The volume of the alert can easily be adjusted and the pre-alert distance set from a minimum of 100m to a maximum
angel nav road
of 500m Motorcycle Use An optional ear-piece is available for use with the Road Angel The ear-piece is designed to transfer the audible alert directly to the inside of your helmet so that
angel nav road
the Road Angel can be used conveniently on a motorcycle as well as in a car Question - Instead of beeping my Road Angel now makes a clicking noise when it detects radar
angel nav road
Answer - This means that you have turned the Auto Mute function on When this setting is on your Road Angel will beep 3 or 4 times when it first detects a radar
angel nav road
source and will then emit a muted clicking sound Use the Mute button to turn this function on and off whilst the Road Angel is not detecting any radar For further information review
angel nav road
the Auto Mute section in your owners manual Question - Where is the best position to mount my Road Angel Answer - The best position to mount your Road Angel is about 10cm
angel nav road
up from the base of the windscreen at the centre of the dashboard using the suction cup bracket provided However bear in mind that there is probably only about 10% difference between the
angel nav road
best position in the windscreen and the worst No matter what mounting method you use simply ensure that your Road Angel is in as horizontal position as possible and has a clear view
angel nav road
through the window of the road ahead Pay particular attention to ensuring that the unit is not sitting directly behind the windscreen wipers General Enquiries Question - Are Road Angel GPS Alert Systems
angel nav road
easy to install Answer - GPS Safety Camera Alert Systems are designed for quick and easy installation All devices can be plugged simply into the cigar lighter but can also be connected directly
angel nav road
to the vehicle with the hard wire lead provided The unit itself can then normally be velcroed into position on the dashboard or attached to the windscreen with the suction cup bracket provided
angel nav road
No professional installation is required and the unit can be moved easily from car to car Question - Are Road Angels Legal Answer - ARE Road AngelS LEGAL Road Angel Legality Conrmed Due
angel nav road
to recent Press coverage of the proposed Road Safety Bill many customers are Concerned about the current legal situation as well as any proposed legislation seeking to ban Road Angels We can confirm
angel nav road
however that GPS Camera locators are not under review in the proposed bill and have written evidence from the Department for Transport to that effect The Government understand and fully accept the safety

Question - Do GPS Alert Systems work in vehicles with Heat Reflective windscreens Answer - Vehicles with Heat Reflective` screens such as
angel nav road
some newer Renault Citroen and Peugeot cars can prevent the GPS receiver from receiving GPS signal If your vehicle has this type of windscreen you may need to purchase an extension re-radiating antenna
angel nav road
to enable your detector to pick up GPS signal Please note that Heated screens as found on the Ford Mondeo will not prevent GPS signal On many vehicles you may also find that
angel nav road
the UV covering does not completely cover the screen Sometimes the area immediately in front of the rear view mirror is suitable whilst some Renault cars have a clear area 4 or 5
angel nav road
inches above the dashboard in the centre of the screen
Question - How do GPS and Laser detectors work Answer - The GPS Safety Camera Alert System locks on to satellites orbiting
angel nav road
the globe Via a GPS receiver the Safety Camera Alert System compares the exact position of the device and compares it with a database of GPS co-ordinates for speed camera locations and accident
angel nav road
black spots The device checks the vehicles exact position every second This state of the art technology also offers the user many additional features including the exact camera type range and even the
angel nav road
road speed limit Most systems offer an array of other features to allow the user to customise their unit Further to this all Road Angel GPS camera detection systems include built-in laser sensors
angel nav road
so can detect mobile laser speed traps as well
Question - How does Radar Work Answer - How does radar work Police radar transceivers including Gatso cameras and Radar guns operate by
angel nav road
sending out radio signals at a set frequency which are reflected by the target vehicle The reflected signal`s frequency is shifted in direct proportion to the vehicle`s speed and this shift is used
angel nav road
by the transceiver to calculate the vehicles exact speed How do detectors detect radar A radar signal is conical in shape much like a torch beam At 200 yards the normal operating range
angel nav road
of a radar gun the signal can be as wide as a dual carriageway most of the signal therefore goes past the target and on up the road reflecting off trees and houses
angel nav road
etc eventually becoming radar scatter Road Angels are extremely sensitive radio receivers tuned to these frequencies and can detect very small particles of radar scatter at up to 2 miles in some cases
angel nav road
Are Radar Detectors Legal Following an Appeal Court ruling in January 1998 we have been advised that it is completely legal to own and use a Road Angel Safety Alert System in the
angel nav road
UK It is illegal in France and Belgium and we strongly recommend that you check local legislation before using this product outside of the UK
How can you detect a Gatso camera
angel nav road
- Although Gatso cameras face away from the traffic and operate at very low power they still emit radar scatter which can be detected by a Road Angel albeit at a much reduced
angel nav road
range As Gatso cameras are positioned in known accident Hotspots advanced warning from a radar detector can ensure that you are concentrating fully through a potentially hazardous area How effective are radar detectors
angel nav road
Our range of radar detectors can be highly effective as they have been designed specifically for use in the UK and Europe to detect most speed monitoring systems currently using a radar or
angel nav road
laser beam to determine your speed effectively ensuring that you are fully aware of both your speed and your surroundings And now the introduction of GPS technology on some of the more sophisticated
angel nav road
safety warning systems ensures that you can be made alert of more police speed monitoring systems than ever before So what else does the Road Angel Compact have to offer Laser Detector included
angel nav road
as standard with this package Visual spoken and audible alerts Fixed safety camera and accident blackspot warnings Camera advisory speed limits – new feature confirming what speed you should be driving whilst in
