Got one, it's in the glove box of my MG, can't remember the last time I used it, since getting a TomTom Rider I find that TomTom works much better.

I have an Indago that I bought for use in the TDv6 as there was no nav in that car. It is similar to a Road Angel but also gives turn by turn routing as well as speed camera locations and accident blackspots. For a subscription you get unlimited updates as well. I have found the routing on the Indago to be better than on the LR Nav, which is strange because the mapping technology is from Navteq in both systems!

HI JAY

Do you have any problem with having a heated screen,i read that sometimes you need an additional antenna as there is a block to the satellite. Range rover vogue 3.6 tdv8 Gone

SF, my Indago has no problems on a sucker cup attachment in the middle of the front screen and even worked when I tried mounting it in one of the cupholders, the problem with that was that it kept falling over even when I used HD Velcro to hold it down. IIRC Jay doesn't need an additional antenna either. I've never tried to use it with the front screen heater switched on though. I hardly ever seem to need to use the front screen heater, although this morning I might. -4 here last night and everything outside has a good coating of frost on it 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

England 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

I have a Road Angel Navigator. The speed camera side of it is fantastic, however the navigation is pretty poor. TDV8 HSE in Java/Ebony with Zebrano Wood, RSE, Hybrid TV, and a few other bells and whistles.

I reviewed the Road Angel 9000 and came to the same conclusion. Their safety cam only devices are OK, they should stick to that and leave the navigation solutions to the big boys.

FWIW, a TomTom ONE for £130 plus our database gives you a better and cheaper solution than any of their solutions IMHO. Darren Griffin
