The GPS Angel determines where you are and your exact speed at all times through its radio connection to the GPS satellite network.

The GPS Angel uses GPS technology so it is 100% legal to use. It is designed to warn you of risk areas to help you observe traffic law. A series of colored LED's and audible beeps (adjustable) alerts you when you are approaching a camera location.

The GPS Angel will also allow you to record any personal risk areas you may come across. This is accomplished by holding down the right hand function key and the location of the speed camera will be recorded on your GPS Angel device for future use.

The GPS Angel comes ready to use straight out of the box. Simply place it on your dashboard and plug in its power cable to your cars cigarette lighter. The GPS Angel is available now on-line for $129.00.

How about just following the speed limits and stopping at red lights???...you'll save $129 plus the cost of all that gasoline that your car won't be consuming at the higher speeds.

THIS functionality could very easily be added to existing GPS systems. Don't waste your money on it!
Shame on Physorg for allowing advertising on its site!

Uh... GPS devices already do this and they are street maps as well. Why would you buy this device that can only beep?

Cars are usually more efficient at higher speeds.

Passenger vehicle-engines in North America exhibit their optimal fuel consumption around 90 km/Hr (45 mi/Hr), and this has been the case for over 20 years.

And Morpheus2012 is right, they were made BECAUSE of drivers like him :)

That's wrong, American vehicles since 1970 have been built to be most efficient at a sustained 1.9k rpm in any gear. In most vehicles this equates out to somewhere between 50 and 65 at top gear.

Sorry, 90 km/hr IS closer to 50 mi/hr...you're right. However, my original point stands; driving faster does lead to higher fuel consumption, and this device will NOT lower your consumption, and thus will end up costing you MORE money in the long run!
