I would advise you not to use them in France. John

I have a Road Angel Gem. It probably isn't a current model. It is a camera database gadget that runs off the power socket. It does not detect or jam radar or laser detectors. It is a bit of a nuisance that it beeps when approaching a camera whatever speed one is doing i.e. it does not remain silent if under the limit. On my 322s I stuck its stand to the trim at the corner of the windscreen, I don't want to do that in the 405 as the finish is different, so it stands in a JLR insulated cup with its lid off in the cupholders in front of the cubby box. It does pick up signal there, but maybe not quite as well as up at the windscreen.

I use Tom Tom Speed Cam detector app - works a treat, shows all cams and also monitors your speed - free to download |

Waze is about the best thing you can get these days and it's FREE.

considering the cameras on the M25 and M1 are now set to flash you a picture at 72mph, it's easy to slip over 72 on the motorway if not using cruise. Gone are the days of +10 and 3mph, if you're at 73 you're getting a letter in the post |

As long as looking out for speed limit signs and watching your speedometer can take absolute priority over looking out for other vehicles, pedestrians, animals and generally watching the road then your strategy is flawless |

That's 'Fake News'. Assuming there are no temporary speed restrictions (i.e. still 70mph) then the standardised charging threshold is 10% of the limit + 3 mph. |

Plus ! on the Waze app, worked brilliantly in France this Summer and from my experience very accurate on reporting Speed Cameras.
