Gps Radar Detectors

[andyhart21]

I have currently got a Snooper SD815is radar detector, which is brilliant most of the time but I am getting sick of all the false alarms (it picks up traffic light cameras and shop burglar alarm systems too!).

The time has come to upgrade to a GPS system, but the question is which one??

I have seen the Origin Blue i in Rods car and I liked the look of it a lot. The only other one I have seen is the Geodesy which looks a bit crappy in my opinion, and according to certain websites does not have as many features. I am 95% certain that I am going to go for the Origin Blue i, but I would value anyone's opinion before I take the plunge.

Cheers Guys/Gals :D :D :D

Andy - there's another one about called "Road Angel" - it's very new but worth a look mate

Do a search on Google

I've just looked at the Road Angel Rod, and I'm not sure what I think about it.

check out the 'comparison chart' in the above link and see what you reckon

Yeah - as you know I think the Origin Blue i is unbeatable.

I belive the Road Angel identifies Accident Black Spots too - so if thta's important to you then I guess you'd want that.

The OBi just works perfectly though - can't fault it.

The Origin Blue i only flashes up cameras that are on your side of the road and you can set it to only alert you if you are going over the speed limit. Both of these are really useful features so, I think I am going to go for it Rod.

Personally I like the Geodessy - it is mounted low out of sight from outside the car, so not bothered how it looks.... it has been around longest so has the biggest database and most users (adding to that database) - and the Plus has features such as only beeping if you are actually over the limit, so if you are sat in a queue it doesn't drive you nuts bleeping away, it is speed sensitive so gives you a longer warning if you are travelling faster..... if you are under the limit, it gives one beep to alert you, then is quiet (so long as you remain under the limit) but still displays the indicator lights.

Nice one Andy - there's a dealer in Gold who will give you a discount mate - check the list.

With Sammy on this one, I think it is all down to personal taste, every one of the GPS systems come down to how intrusive in the car do you want them and how techy. The Geodessy is small compact and very easily transfered between cars, it's not built for looks just for functionality, it's the one to go for if that's what your after. If you want the extra features and LCD display the no question the Origin is the one. The rest are just pretenders.

Quite right - each to his or her own!!

Another plus about the geodessey is that it's waterproof and you can put it on a bike

I bought an Origin Blue at the motor show. I went to a stand that was selling all the types available.

I asked them as an idependant seller which would they recommend.

So, I came away with the Orgin Blue, which will be upgradeable soon to detect Handheld devices as well as fixed.

A close second was the new Snopper GPS device which can also detect handheld devices.
