Updating the Database
The ROAD ANGEL Database
ROAD ANGEL Vantage uses a database of Police, Local Authority and
Ministry of Transport designated danger spots, including accident
blackspots and safety camera locations, primary schools and congestion
charging zones. Using the latest Global Positioning Satellite (GPS)
technology, ROAD ANGEL Vantage compares your position with known
danger spot locations and gives you an audible and visual warning as you
approach them.
It is critical to the accurate operation of your ROAD ANGEL Vantage that
your unit is regularly updated to maintain the very latest data. To qualify for
database updates:
1.
Register your ROAD ANGEL Vantage with Road Angel Group
Ltd. You cannot receive updates until you have registered (see
page 6).
2.
Purchase a valid subscription package.
Automatic Updates by GPRS
With your unit registered and a valid subscription in place, your
unit will receive updates automatically by GPRS, the wireless
data service available over the GSM network. The updating
icon appears if an update is taking place (see page 14).
If you live in an area with low GPRS coverage and cannot receive
automatic updates, you can also update your ROAD ANGEL Vantage
manually over the Internet using your PC. In this case, we recommend that
you update your ROAD ANGEL Vantage fortnightly, as safety camera
locations are constantly changing. If you are a high mileage motorist, using
unfamiliar roads, you may want to update your database weekly. You
should also update the database before you set off on a long trip.
You can check the date of your last update on the Unit Data page (see
page 23).
