Which should I get? Have you had any experiences with the new one and if so is it worth me getting the new one?

The old one is fine, but serial only connection is a bit of a pain to be honest. USB is easier and also would mean that bluetooth enabling the R/A via a dongle would be easier and cheaper, having a few problems trying to do it with a serial.

I suppose the main thing is down to the look of it more than anything

Apparently because the new one sticks to the top of the dash on a magnet it turns round when you go round a bend and stuff That'd get on my **** so I have just bought an old one. I have to admit that the new one does look very good though

Does the new one have any more abilities to keep you 'points free' than the old one. I am only interested in warning against speed traps etc. I do not want any extra complicated bits.

By the way thanks for the very speedy responses guys

I don't think it has any more functions. Take a look at their website

Apart from the "look" it seems the main new features are:
USB support
Compass
Distance to the "hazard"
A pretty grafic to indicate the nature of the "hazard"
Speech alerts

When you're driving round, the last thing you need to loads of complicated graphics & tiny numbers to look at. The best bet is to keep it simple. Anyway, they both use the same database so the camera & blackspot info. is the same. Pretty soon you should be able to get a good discount on the old model, so I'd stick with that. Works fine for me.

Damn right about complicated graphic etc... thanks guys for the help. I think I will get the old one. I prefer its look as well. I've got the Valentine One at the moment which I will keep until I can afford the Road Angel.
