Hi Scott,

I picked mine up for £350 with the laser detector from spares world. Other places like halfords will sell it to you for £400 notes.

Have a look here for more info.

http://www.blackspot.com/

I'd never leave the house without it.

Paul

Scott yes you can download updates but they don't cover vans or other "mobile" cameras - you also need to have laser detection/jamming in addition to these GPS devices..

A laser detector is now included in the Road Angel kit and there is also provision to mark in 'mobile' gatso's - that is the most common places for mobile units to wait and catch motorists. Nothing is 100%, but this gets pretty damn close. I've only had mine a few days, but it is most impressive.

If you are going to the Autosport show, Blackspot have a stand and are selling them at a discount over the RRP of £400 (which is where I got mine).
