Road Angel Navigator 3000

 

The Road Angel Navigator 3000 is an entry level GPS unit that doesn't quite satisfy as much as their previous models. While it still offers fixed spee...

Improved interface, maps, fixed speed camera warnings, price

Sluggish loading times, minimal included accessories, doesn't charge via USB, maps stored on SD card, battery life

Despite being an entry level unit and commanding a very reasonable price tag, the Navigator 3000 falls short in a few areas.

Road Angel Navigator 3000

 

The Road Angel Navigator 3000 enters the entry-level GPS fray and provides formidable competition. We wish it came with an AC charger and better instructions, though.

Improved interface ; Quick signal pickup ; Fast re-routing

No AC charger supplied ; Not USB powered ; Poor multimedia functionality

We're not sure how many consumers want their GPS systems to double as photo frames and music viewers -- we suspect not many. If that describes you, then the Road Angel is an excellent buy, albeit one in a field that's pretty darned competitive. For the...

This thing needs to be plugged into charger in order to work, battery is basically non existent. I have no idea how you are meant to use this in pedestrian mode!

Cheap

Road Angel Navigator 3000

 

We have a Navigator 3000. An absolutely abysmal product compared to others on the market. Often directs us to make U Turns at traffic lights, turn left or right into one way streets, takes us on a wild goose chase through a maze of suburban streets...

Sometimes gets you where you want to go

More times than not takes you through unnecessary routes to get to your destination. Extremely poor battery life

My post just below should be 1/10 NOT 10/10. Funny how this site reset the rating slider to 10/10 when you need to re-enter more info into the * fields. Watch out for this trick!

Rubbish. Shop around for something better - competitor products. Our unit is not used any more - the Melway is faster & more reliable.

cheap ; has localised traffic hazard warnings - eg speed cameras, speed zone changes, etc ; great if you enjoy wasting time with slow,clunky interfaces, and driving the long route to places

slow (to lock) ; poor UI ; freezes (Win CE) ; can only update map info using Windows. There are so many brighter ways to design it for multi-platform support, while retaining their proprietary database. The software (& UI) in the unit is slow, clunky,...

Totally unreliable. Picks different routes to the same destination, freezes, looses settings. Just garbage.

Nothing

Road Angel's support, the unit itself, just crap

not having a proper manual makes this unit pretty useless....hard to work out how to do things with when you are just playing around withit. the battery life is too short. it also does not read map data properly ...if you know exactltly where you want...

cheap. nice style of design

works very poorly for a GPS unit that can cost up to $499

Works good but map doesn't seem to turn when heading north gives impression you're going south clear voice gives commands promptly and in plenty of time no need to watch screen

easy to operate

no battery charger ; low battery life ; car ,bike , Van,walking seq all seem the same ; seems to be little phone back-up eg is there an update chip available from where and how much
