microGo is ready to use - straight from the box. Simply plug the power lead into your lighter socket and you are ready to go. This plug-and-go ability makes it easy to move the microGo from vehicle to vehicle.

When you approach a fixed speed camera, microGo gives an audible and visual warning. An "Alert" sound is immediately followed by the words "Speed Camera. Speed Limit 40"... or 50, or 70 etc.

If you are driving faster than the permitted speed, microGo advises you to slow down until you've reached the permitted speed.

The display indicates the permitted speed AND your actual speed at the same time. It also indicates how close you are to the camera and the type of camera you are approaching.

microGo has built-in intelligence - it's directional i.e. it won't warn you of speed cameras that are on the other side of the road. It's also speed sensitive. This means that it won't make an audible alarm if you are travelling below the speed limit. Unlike other speed detection devices, the microGo will only tell you to slow down and flash an alert if you are travelling above the speed limit, otherwise you will hear a simple beep.

And if you think that's clever, the microGo can change the illumination colour of it's screen - so that you can match the colour of your vehicle's instruments.

With 64 colour options to choose from, you can set the display's backlight colour to match your car's instrument illumination. You can also set the colour of the visual alerts to change colour when the microGo detects a speed camera or when you exceed your personal speed limit.

The one touch button is also illuminated for ease of use.

With over 5000 speed cameras on our roads, 2004 saw about 2,000,000 fines.

And remember, over 50% of these cameras are in 30 zones - so you don't have to be "travelling fast" to collect a fine.

As well as being the world's smallest - and in our opinion best looking speed warning system, the microGo is packed full of useful features.

It's one-touch operating button means it's easy to display the following eight functions:

Speed Display Uses the GPS satellites to calculate your speed over ground with great precision. Displayed in mph or km/h (user selectable)

Camera Warning Shows your speed and the road's speed limit. The bar graph indicates the range to the speed camera. Audible and visual warnings are given if you are exceeding the speed limit.

Rescue ME™ Useful for advising rescue services and roadside assistance of your exact position.

Trip Computer Shows the Odometer and a re-settable Trip Counter. Displayed in mph or km/h (user selectable).

Compass Heading Shows your vehicle's heading as a rotating card "head up" compass display. Your current speed is also shown.

Congestion Charge Gives an advance warning when approaching on the boundary, and while in the Congestion Charge Zone.

Max Speed Alarm Activates when you exceed your personal speed limit (user selectable).

Date and time  micro's GPS receiver receives extremely accurate information from an "atomic clock" providing precise time as well as showing the date.

RoadPilot helps you to protect your licence and your livelihood. According to a recent MORI survey, drivers using speed-warning devices travelled 50% further between accidents than non users. The consequences of driving over the limit could result in a fine, an endorsement and a substantially increased insurance premium!

RoadPilot is also the UK's leading supplier of speed camera location data. Employing a dedicated database team that constantly add new camera locations so that the database you use is always up to date. Even temporary cameras sited at road works are included. microGo comes delivered with the RoadPilot "Euro Database" of speed camera locations at no extra cost.

Roadpilot license their data to leading manufacturers of GPS, navigation and speed camera devices.

Roadpilot also license their data to Europe's largest supplier of mapping information - for use in GPS systems, navigation systems and on printed maps.

The speed camera location data is also used in most of the UK's premier satellite navigation systems.

...all this adds up to the fact that you are in safe hands with RoadPilot.

spanDaily Updates

Your new microGo comes ready to use right from the box. It's pre-loaded with the latest database of fixed speed cameras and accident black spots.

After 6 months you can subscribe to the database - so that you are always up to date. At a cost of £49.95 for a full year - that's less than £1 per week - you get the peace of mind that only the UK's best speed camera database can deliver.

The proposed 2005 Road Safety Bill from the Department for Transport (DfT) intends to prohibit devices that detect ‘speed assessment equipment’. GPS devices will not be affected by the legislation and the DfT currently has no plans to propose a ban on GPS-based speed camera location products.

In a statement published in May 2005 the DfT wrote as follows:

“GPS Systems are developing rapidly and can contain all sorts of additional information to assist drivers in their driving. For example, they can alert drivers to posted speed limits, the approach to schools and hospitals and the location of accident black spots. Once the shadow of a potential ban for detectors generally is removed via legislation, these devices can be promoted as genuine road safety aids”

All RoadPilot products are passive GPS systems. The only RoadPilot equipment that may become illegal under the new legislation would be the radar horn and the laser detector attachments. RoadPilot has never offered for sale any laser jamming equipment. If the legislation becomes law, the radar and laser attachments can simply be removed from RoadPilot’s line-up of products. The function and availability of the micro RoadPilot, RoadPilot Pro and Geodesy GPS units will not be affected.

Existing users of a radar horn or laser head can easily remove them from their main GPS unit by simply unplugging the lead. The operation of the main unit will not be affected.

RoadPilot products are designed to aid driver safety on the roads by making drivers more aware of their speed while driving, by reminding them of the current speed limit and by giving them advance warning of potential changes to the traffic flow at speed camera locations.

RoadPilot understands that the main intention of safety cameras is to reduce speeding, reduce accidents and save lives, and RoadPilot products support this effort. None of RoadPilot’s current products interfere, or block Police equipment or any other form of road-safety equipment. In the interest of safety, RoadPilot has always and will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement and road safety authorities.
