THE ROAD ANGEL PURE
Road Angel’s Pure is a speed awareness device par excellence and features a 2.4in (320 x 240 pixel) full colour TFT screen that’s toughened with gorilla glass. It serves up speed awareness info for speed camera and radar detectors using live updates and information based upon GPS location, with built-in laser gun protection to guarantee identification of the speed limit on even the most remote of roads. Unlike any of its competitors, Smart Motorway updates are polled for every minute from the very moment Highways England make them active or you’re travelling nearby, while accident blackspots, school zones, congestion charging zones and red-light cameras are also all catered for. The alerts database is linked to the industry leading ‘Here’ road speed database, so the information is as current as it gets, empowering drivers to make informed decisions via the colour-coded alerts that the screen emits as you approach any kind of speed restriction. The handsfree approach of the Pure means that once configured via the Smartphone app it really is a fit-and-forget product, and regular firmware updates continue to enhance and refine the user experience as things evolve constantly. This facility alone makes Pure stand out from the others, as the development process behind the subscription service is never ending, and always evolving.
It’s also possible to hard-wire the unit into any vehicle’s 12v fuse board using one of the optional kits that Road Angel produce, making integration into any car seamless and simple. Thanks to the adhesive-backed smart mount you can even switch the unit between cars with ease.
Thanks to endless customisation and userconfigurable modes via the Smartphone app, it’s possible to define the interaction of the unit for every possible demand. Personalised over-speed alerts, various alert tones and auto dimming based on ambient light mean that the Pure could almost be taken for granted once it’s plumbed into any dashboard, and you know what they say about things that we take for granted… they just do their job.
Stay safe out there and keep that licence clean.
