The real question is the relative value of the device, even if you are looking for a dash-cam, and although the G-force is enough to turn on the dash-cam, the GPS can be a little slower to get the location right for the speed database. The display is very clear (a green ring around your current speed if you’re not in trouble). For European speed alerts a Here® database is included. In terms of our main matter here, it isn’t as easy to fit as some of the others, but the Aura speed trap database is good and it’s certainly not the most expensive.

You can even plug in a retro-fitted reversing camera, so all-in-all this is a great device for something like a motorhome or truck which has a lot of personal mods.

There is a long enough cable to place the device anywhere even on a big dash, and thanks to built-in Bluetooth you can also play music from your phone if, for some reason, your car won’t. The Snooper MySpeed system is designed with motorists of all kinds in mind, so there isn’t just a generously sized display to repeat the current speed limit, but a menu system which will enable you to indicate you are driving a camper or truck and perhaps subject to different limits. More expensive than separate dash cam and database alert Saphe see their natural competition as popular traffic apps, which explains their pricing in comparison to brands like Road Angel their devices act more as an improved display & feedback system and this new Drive model also brings rechargeability, needing topping up only every 3 months. Exact alerts can be tailored using the elegant Saphe Link app (which is free). What puts the only slightly more expensive “Drive” model (RRP £59 rather than £49) ahead is the clean and simple LCD display which isn’t overly distracting but presents a distance-to-camera (or zone) indicator and shows you your speed or – where it’s more important appropriate – your average speed.

You, as the driver, become a member of the community and much of that data is contributed by drivers spotting cameras as they pass them (there are three buttons on the front for speed check, hazard and accident). Looking a lot like an early iPod (black model), the Saphe drive (that’s pronounced “safe drive”) takes the same safety database used by its sibling the Saphe One+ which means it has alarms for different types of speed cameras and dangers on roads like accidents, as well as suspected spot checks. Over 900,000 motorists across Europe are part of the system which shares the traffic data. You can use the app to decide whether you want to be warned about fixed speed cameras, mobile ones, accidents, cars on the shoulder, dangers seen on the road, average speed cameras, red light cameras, and so on. So long as you’re careful not to turn off Bluetooth on your phone, all you need to do to engage the device is get into your car. This makes for very simple operation, and many drivers appreciate not having any additional touch screens to distract them from the road. Not a misspelling of sapphire, once you check out the marketing you’ll see that Saphe seems to be more of a phonetic attempt at the word ‘safe,’ with the One+ acting as the entrance card to a community of motorists taking advantage of a database covering the UK (and over 80 other countries).Īlerts are actually delivered via your mobile smartphone, which uses its GPS to detect your location and speed while the Saphe One+ effectively acts as a Bluetooth speaker with added flashing lights for the app.

Finally, there are also many kinds of enforcement cameras on UK roads, so an essential factor is which ones are monitored, and whether – as a driver – you get to find out which type you’re approaching in time to prepare (not, of course, that you would need to slow down anyway).

In both cases, fitting to your car (how good does it look on your dash, how easy it is to read) is a factor, while in the latter kind it’s also essential to know how good the system is at staying up to date and understanding where it is. The solutions on offer vary from detection – which can be pretty expensive, but will identify speed monitoring technology and provide immediate feedback – to different kinds of database. Luckily the market has understood that most drivers are both keen to be warned when they’re approaching enforcement systems while not wishing to spend any time at her majesty’s pleasure for blocking them. It is perfectly legal to buy radar detectors or GPS systems in the UK which can tell you about GATSOs (the big speed cameras familiar on UK roads) and other systems which might catch a speeding motorist in the act, however there have been a few cases of motorists jailed for actively blocking these systems with laser jammers.
