Road Angel vantage Product Manual & User Manual - Quick Start Guide
Thank you for choosing ROAD ANGEL Vantage
As our roads become busier, more congested and more regulated, staying
alert to road and traffic conditions is a challenge to everyone. Even the most
conscientious driver can have a momentary lapse of concentration that could
easily lead to an accident or a fine and points.
ROAD ANGEL Vantage is specially designed to be a simple-to-use addition to
any vehicle, to alert and warn you in advance of known danger areas. In the
comprehensive ROAD ANGEL Vantage database, which is automatically
updated whilst you drive, are stored Police, Local Authority and Ministry of
Transport designated danger spots, including accident blackspots and safety
camera locations.
Using the latest Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology, ROAD ANGEL
Vantage compares your position with the known danger spot locations and
gives you an audible and visual warning as you approach them. An accurate
GPS speedometer in the display gives you time to adjust your driving to the
approaching danger.
With over 250,000 miles of road around the UK, knowing the speed limit is
often guesswork. Vantage also has an onboard database of road speed limits,
so you will know what the speed limit is, at a glance.
The safety of you and your passengers is our prime consideration, and we trust
that for all the miles you drive, your ROAD ANGEL Vantage will enhance the
safety and enjoyment of your journey. Join other ROAD ANGEL Vantage users
in guarding your life and livelihood.
We are pleased to have you as a valued customer and hope you will be
delighted with your fully integrated ROAD ANGEL Vantage. Having listened to
our customers we think the new features will make this product your perfect
driving companion.
