Get a PDA, you can then use TomTom for nav, memory map for laning and also you can upload a speed camera database to both so you can get all you require on one device.

Oh yea and it's portable :)

If your getting sat nav get a stand alone unit then possible a road angel as a stand alone unit.
Been told by a few people that the road angel sat nacv unit is ok as a speed camera warning system but the sat nav on it is pants

If you get a PDA or PND, why not use our Safety Camera POI database? It's only £2 to trial it or £19 for a year and works with your nav system overlaid on the map.

I have a range of hardware speed camera detectors which I have reviewed and can honestly (if not unbiased) say that our database is more than equal to theirs and we have the best mobile camera/safety partnership van data available as a result of having many more subscribers/reporters than any other solution.  That way we find out first and have the best coverage of the less populated areas.

If anyone want to trial it I'll give Mud Club members a free month, PM me with your MudClub ID and an email address and I'll send you this months database.  For install assistance see our website as I'm busy enough!

I started out with a 'Talex' speed camera locator - it's never let me down yet !

Earlier this year I got a storming deal on a Navman iCN530 Sat-Nav, and other than an initial problem with the car charger not charging the unit, it's been the dogs danglies - and just recently one of the guys at work bought the speed camera overlay and (most kindly) forwarded me a copy.

I now have the Talex and the Navman side by side on the dash, and (if I had the warning distance set the same on the Navman) they both warn of fixed, mobile and SPECS cameras at the same time.

If I had to advise someone which to buy first - I'd go with the Sat-Nav, as other posters have already said, you can bung the camera overlays on them - best of both worlds.

so now the question comes down to: do i spend money on sat nav and road angel, or save and get an 8274 or a cage?
