Enough said really...
What's the best one to get? Pros & Cons? Cheap sites to get one from?
Cheers gents,
Greg

Has it not got a windscreen sucker mount?
The Origin B2 was well received when it was launched, but AFAIK, the newer Road Angels are better from a cost/performance standpoint. I believe (just going by what I hear, as I don't own one) the RA2 locks to satellites much quicker than the B2.

It's got the suckers, but it means the front end hovers about 3 inches off the dash.

The origin b2 certainly was the best do any now combinr gps & detectors.
I would get that id you can.
I have a bell 550 (supposedly the best detector) and a tomtom for the fixed sites.

I have no idea what you just said....
Radar isn't really used for mobile any more & laser detectors only tell you that you've just been nicked (useful!)
IMHO the B2 isn't worth extra cash for useless radar detection and the longer lookup times (even after bridges and tunnels, I've heard)

When i looked in to it the B2 was the best option out there. Its been awesome! Wouldn't change it even for the new Indago
It is awesome with all types of fixed trap, giving a break down of the speed you need to be at, time to camera, distance etc etc.
Ali's got one as well i think.

A GPS/detector is next on my shopping list.
Anyone got any practical experience of the Snooper Indago or an alternative I might have missed?
I'd heard some awful things about the Road Angel Navigator any one heard otherwise?

What ever you get make sure it has TAS installed (Tree Avoidance Software)
Good to have you back in the fold - the artwork's been pish since you left
