wouldnt bother fella,not a big fan of the road angel navigation units,they do good speed camera detectors,navigation not so good

Halfords have the tom tom one uk unit for £159.99,grab one of those and upload the camera sites onto it,it works a treat and a far better unit all road

OK cheers.
Is the TT1 updatable free? Is it possible to get copies of for example euro maps and scamera database free, and stick them on a card to put on the TT1?

i have just got the RA navigator 7000, and i have no issues with it at all, real simple to use and navigating the menu's is a doddle.



im just hunting about to see what downloads are available for it, eg shell garages and that, but so far found nothing as yet....

when i got mine it was £500. RA admitted to me that the unit was crap and let me swap it. i noticed the price has come down a lot as well. if they have taken all the problems on board and sorted it then good for them, but i am more than happy with my Snooper

mine used to take ages to start up and wouldnt work in built up areas aroung London, have they sorted that out now?
