The idea of getting a ticket for speeding is something most drivers out there really hate, and while some don't do anything about it, others prefer to take some measures, including purchasing certain devices that will make their life a lot easier. And that's the type of product we'll talk about as follows, namely the V4 Red Light Camera and Speed Camera warning system from GPS Angel, which has just received an upgrade that increases its level of functionality.

As some of you might remember, the V4 is a compact, cordless device using advanced SiRF Star III GPS satellite technology to map the vehicle’s current position against an on-board database of over 6,000 known red light camera and speed camera locations. When approaching one of these high risk intersections, GPS Angel will automatically alert the driver through a series of visual and audible alerts. And now, users will also be able to easily take the gadget with them wherever they might go, since it also provides an integrated rechargeable lithium ion battery option.

GPS Angel offers unlimited free access to the database, and users will simply have to plug the USB cord into their PC and download the updates from the Internet. In addition to the database, users can set up Personal Location Alerts that warn the driver when they are speeding in areas such as school zones, playgrounds, parks or any other predetermined locations. Most importantly, unlike radar detectors, the GPS Angel is 100% legal throughout North America.

“What a lot of consumers are unaware of is that the red light cameras are strategically placed in high-risk accident areas,” said Bryn Jenkins, Chief Operating Officer for GPS Angel. “GPS Angel uses cutting-edge GPS satellite technology to alert users when approaching these intersections to encourage them to exercise extreme caution. Not only will the GPS Angel help you be a better driver but it will also help consumers avoid expensive traffic fines and protect their license.”

The GPS Angel V4 with rechargeable battery is available now for an MSRP of $129 at various retailers, so if you do have a speed-related problem, then perhaps it's for the best to check it out.
