Road Angel launches a Gem of a product

Road Angel is pleased to announce the launch of Gem, its most advanced speed management device yet. In addition to its market-leading accuracy, a new slim-line design, up-to-date road speed indication and an improved user interface, Gem provides a unique eAssist feature allowing you to connect directly to the emergency services in the event of an accident.
Even though the unit is conveniently compact, it packs a lot of punch. In addition to all the usual features and functionality you would expect of a highly specified speed management device, Gem uses mobile phone technology that not only allows users to automatically receive regular system updates and share the locations of ‘˜live’ safety camera vans, but also lets users feedback new or revised road speeds. The feature is called SpeedShareTM and it utilises the vast Road Angel community to create the most up-to-date, digital road-speed map of Britain.

Gem has been designed and built by Road Angel, one of the UK’s leading developers of innovative GPS-based products and market-leader in safety camera and black-spot locators. Its extensive list of features includes:
. Alerts for:
­ fixed safety cameras
­ mobile safety camera locations
­ average speed camera zones
­ black-spot areas
­ school zones
­ congestion charge zones
­ railway crossings

Mark Thickbroom, Chief Executive Officer of Road Angel Group, said, ‘Gem is an amazing product. It’s packed with many features that aren’t available on other products in the market, and is priced extremely competitively. To steal a phrase from the late Sir Robert Mark and his 1970s TV advert for tyres, ‘˜I’m convinced it’s a major contribution to road safety’.’
Road Angel Gem is available to buy from selected resellers.
