Snooper S3 Sapphire MSN CARS FAVOURITE

The Sapphire has the clearest display and sleekest looks with its black gloss facia and chrome rear casing. As well as the usual voice alerts, full colour visual alerts warn you of impending speed camera type, speed limit and distance to camera. It doesn’t show your speed simultaneously with the warning, but personally I don’t mind as that’s what my speedo is for. As with the Origin and Road Angel unit, it has a motorway and city setting to stop false alerts and you can store your own user points, too. Tough call between this and the Road Angel Plus, but its sleek looks and lower rrp make this my recommendation for value and performance.
