Which one is better - the Road Angel 6000 or the TomTom ONE V2? Both seem similar, same price, RA6000 comes with the speed cameras built in though. Which has the best screen, best mapping etc..?
I've been doing some research and it would appear that the TomTom is the much better of the two. It's apparantly an easy job to put the cameras on the TomTom.
They have a much better reputation regarding the mapping and screen and seem to be the preferred choice. I'm going for the TomTom next month.

Kinda thought that might be the case, so it would be better to get the TomTom ONE V2 and get the cameras added on?
Yes, although there is an additional fee for the cameras on the TomTom of £30 a year.....
Depends if you want the better Nav system and pay the extra for cameras or whether the cameras are more important to you.

I was going to get the Road Angel 6000 but was thinking the same about the Tom Tom being better
Is one a lot more money then the other?

There is very little in it. The TomTom is going for around £170 before you subscribe to the cameras (£30 a year) and the RoadAngel for around the same but including camera locations (although will require subscription for updates). Unless someone can tell me otherwise I think the TomTom is the one I'm going for. All the reviews seem very positive.

My gf has the roadangel one and its excellent, gets you to where you want and has not messed up once for us.
Really?
I have been taken loads of wrong places with the TomTom and thats only when i nick it off my dad
I've gone for the TomTom ONE V2 based on many reviews and tests, found a place that is offering free speed camera upgrade with it for £170.38 inc.VAT:

£178.59 including next-day delivery.
I had the old version of the TomTom and it took me from Edinburgh to the Towcester Travelodge for Trax, right to the door no problem!

Yep, got to Chester fine and dandy, got to gloucester fine and dandy, and the mrs got to where she needed to go in London fine and dandy aswell, no detours, no misshaps, just straight to where we needed to go.
I got my ONE V2 today and also got the email from Handtec with the camera software as well, so it's all in and working - awesome!
Got mine as well. Seems to be a really nice piece of kit for the money. Got me to work and back using the same route Ive worked out as being the quickest so it appears to be working well!! Also updates with route changes pretty fast if you go off track. Im pleased.
I was actually intending on giving it to my fiance for her birthday but I may have to buy her her own one now. I really like it.

I`ve got the RoadAngel 6000 and it has never messed up once in about 3000 miles always gets the camera locations right if you keep it updated (even mobile vans).I bought my old man a TomTom One just because you don`t have to own a PC but there is little in it ,it`s easier to operate but I like the full screen camera mode of the RA.
Do you find that it keeps going off with speed camrea vans?
Is that because the well known spots are also on there

I suppose it all depends where you drive we haven`t had many vans round here, only on the Mway works on bridges.
