Speed cameras are without a doubt any driver's worst enemy, since they can easily pick your speed up exactly when you least expect it (and when you've just hit the gas pedal really hard). Of course, there are quite a few solutions available out there that can help you avoid being picked up by these cameras, most of them being somewhat related to GPS devices.

As some of you might know, quite a lot of the GPS navigation devices available on the market provide speed camera detection capabilities. However, most users don't spend enough time browsing through the PNDs menus in order to discover the respective functions, and end up getting caught while speeding anyway.

If you want to try something simpler, though, you can always go for the GPS Angel. This tiny device installs very easily within a vehicle (just connect it to the cigarette lighter slot and place it as close to the windshield as possible) and, by constantly monitoring the car's speed, as well as its relative position compared to its built-in database of speed cameras, constantly keeps the user alert whenever danger is approaching.

By using its connection to the global positioning system, the GPS Angel calculates the distance to the next risk area. As one approaches the respective area, the alert system issues a warning before one can reach the exact location of the risk. Furthermore, once within the risk area, the GPS Angel will issue a warning every time the driver goes above the speed limit.

The GPS Angel sells for around 130 US dollars, which is not exactly a very small price, given the device's relative limited functionality, but not exactly too exaggerated either, considering the fact that it could actually save you a lot of money (otherwise spent on speeding tickets).
