Snooper Syrius ***BEST QUALITY***
Putting the Snooper Syrius through its paces
With these slick looks I had high hopes of the Syrius, and I wasn't disappointed. It doesn't have as many extra options and functions as some of its competitors here but it is dead easy to use. Its safety camera detector system was more reliable than some of the others, the voice and beeps weren't irritating, and I was impressed by the graphics and operation speed, especially route recalculations. Syrius is a bit pricey but does what it says it can do, and that is hard to find.
Features include:
4 inch widescreen display, 2D and 3D street-level mapping of UK + Ireland preinstalled, full blackspot and speed camera detection, including advanced warning of some laser detectors and ability to programme in your own sites, UK congestion charge areas, points of interest and protective carry case.
RRP: £349.95
Street Price: not much less, but you might find online bargains
MSN Cars Verdict: 3.5 out of 5

Daily Telegraph - Snooper Indago Review
If tactile quality was a persuasive factor when it came to choosing a palm-sized satellite-navigation system, the Indago might just turn left after 500 yards, then immediately right, and nuzzle its way into your shopping basket.
If tactile quality was a persuasive factor when it came to choosing a palm-sized satellite-navigation system, the Indago might just turn left after 500 yards, then immediately right, and nuzzle its way into your shopping basket.
Chunky, pleasing to behold and uncluttered by buttons, it is a perfect miniature replica of a flat-screen TV - a 32-inch Sony accidentally put through several hot wash cycles.
The manufacturer claims the neat, stubby antenna is the most powerful GPS receiver in its field, and the Indago works out where it is almost instantly (tall buildings and trees don't appear to be major impediments).
Its digital maps are sprinkled with speed camera locations and other hazard information. Although marketed as a "plug and play" device, with no mandatory internet updates, you'll need to subscribe to a download service to keep your finger on the pulse of Gatso installations.
It costs a bit more than similar products, but then operation is a smidgen more intuitive, the screen less prone to reflected glare and the mapping a little more, well, map-like.
