My own that i no longer want, completely updated.
Unit is boxed with straight hardwire lead and also temporary curly lead (both 12v cigarette lighter) Instruction manual, screen mount, sun visor shield, basically everything it came with when new. I will obviously transfer the licence over to who ever wants it, it will need the subscription updating as it expired in January.
Offers over £150.00, they are fetching £200 on ebay :)

Justin are these the ones you can fit a external aerial too?
As my father inlaw bought a Origin B2 and it is very tempermental in his Renault Scenic 55 reg, as it has a metallic heated front screen so the satellites find it hard to lock onto it,
He needs one now that has the option to fit a external aerial,
Gary.

sold mine on ebay last week for £186 so £150 is cheap as chips
and they work very well on all fixed sites never failed as for laser picked most up but not fool proof as no unit is on laser (except jammers but then you get nicked for jamming)
it will pick laser up, but if its you its pointed at you, its too late as lasers reading takes 0.07 of a milisecond or some bollocks (quicker than you can hit the brakes) youve just got to hope that they laser some car in front and your device then picks up the laser scatter of that car

Still using mine, Quality piece of kit. There a far better investment than a poxy £250 sat nav unit thats for sure! It only needs to spot 3 Gatso/Truvelo's that you havnt and you've made your money back... and kept your licence!!!
Like Gathy says on the lasers unfortunately but if you keep them up to date the "Blackspot" warnings are also known Laser Trap Sites, so keep your witts about you and look for white vans whenever it chimes.
An essential piece of hardware for anyone that drives unfamilier roads regularly or irregularly

I didn't realise the Road Angel was a navigation device also!
How does its satellite navigation compare to the Navman ?

Road Angel 2's just speed camera/laser/blackspot detection mate, Road Angel 3 is both Sat Nav and all of the above but costs about £500

The first Road Angel can be wired into PDA SatNav systems as the GPS capability (version 2 may also be capable but I don't if this is so)... it doesn't, of itself, provide SatNat information, it merely provides the SatNav GPS capability to a StaNav enabled item, Andrew Cardwell provided a link for the appropriate cable a few months ago :-)
