GPS based speedtrap detector

I'm thinking of upgrading from my Bell 550 detector as it does not detect the dreaded specs cameras, so which is currently the best GPS based speedtrap detector / locator ?

Road angel or the new Snooper S4 Neo or ???

And who offers the best price?

thanks

Richard

You do get the laser thingy and a years subscription incl in the price. Road Angel is very good. Can't comment on Snooper, as I've never used one.

Try looking at this recent (last week ?) review from AutoExpress

I was a happy bunny when I saw it, coz that's what i bought a few months ago.
