A good thing with the Road Angel is that the device comes with ordnance data built in, so you can hit the ground running (well driving!).

This is a really useful features as it enables you to be given directions whilst you drive, as opposed to having to stop and look at maps. A key reason for many people on this type of product, is that it comes with support for detecting, or identifying, speed camera locations.

You simply take it out of the box and turn it on, and its ready to go. It has a 3.5 inch touch screen that is colour and touch sensitive, and it is also backlit for you to use in any situation.
The whole world seems to be going to USB Power, and the Road Angel is no stranger to this type of connection. In addition, the Road Angel comes with a car charger. The simplicity and usability extends to the interconnection as you can connect to a computer too if the batteries are running low.
