Road Angel Navigator

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 Sense safety features, POI alerts, Excellent manual

Reflective screen, Not pocket sized

While we have seen other GPS units equipped with basic safety warnings, the Road Sense sofware on the RoadAngel Navigator is by far the most extensive and practical implementation of safety features we have seen on a GPS to date.

Compact ; Lightweight ; Nice touchscreen display

Poor voice quality ; Slow to calibrate ; Short battery life

It's nice to see a device with such a wealth of road knowledge on Australia (the Road Angel also claims to have information on over 540,000 points of interest across the country), and in general the device works as you would want it to. The only things...

1. It always work hard to search its own position. As you need its guide, it is refreshing. 2. It is not full postcode search and it needs postcode and name of road too. This is most inconvenient thing if do not know both of them.

Large screen, camera software

Problem with finding home address

Easy to mount, good size to carry in pocket and works well.

Can take a while to locate satalites and sometimes has to be re-booted to work.

Only if you reroute every time it tells you to turn somewhere you know its wrong

Totally unreliable

Turns on and eventually takes you to the right address

The map is crap and keeps telling me to take wrong ways. It keeps loosing my bookmarks. It shows low battery warning even after fully charged
