Following on from the very successful Road Angel Gem and Gem Deluxe, Road Angel have launched a new updated model named the Gem+ and the Gem+ Deluxe.
ActiveGPS is a Road Angel Authorised Reseller for the Road Angel Gem+ and related accessories.
The Road Angel Gem Plus provides audible and visual warnings to all speed camera locations (subscription charge applies). In particular Gem+ includes your speed and the road speed limit. In fact the Road Angel Gem Plus will tell you the speed limit of every road regardless of whether there is a speed camera there or not so you always know the roads speed limit. The display is full colour clearly displaying all the important information as you approach speed cameras and high-risk zones such as schools, railway crossings. In addition, the Road Angel Gem+ now also provides alerts to the new HADECS 3 speed cameras.
"This dash-mounted product is pricey to buy and subscribe to for updates, but it's great at detecting cameras, with red light, fixed speed and mobile sites all flagged up, as well as accident blackspots. We found speed readings accurate, too, and it shows what the limit is at all times on its colour display. However, the notice period is a little too far in advance, and the reminder beeps are intrusive - even if you're under the limit. Still, menus and buttons are intuitive, and there's the added bonus of eAssist, which connects to the emergency services in the event of an accident."

The Gem Plus or Gem+ safety camera locator looks almost identical to it's predecessor. Indeed the physical dimensions are exactly the same, the differences however although subtle make the new Gem Plus a more advanced unit.
New finish - Firstly the Gem Plus outer casing is finished with a soft touch, rubberised finish.
Enhanced screen and audio - Road Angel have made screen enhancements and there are new brightness controls. The units internal speaker has been improved and there are now additional volume control settings.
New KPH and MPH speed read outs - The Gem+ also includes a built-in compass and KPH (kilometers per hour) speed read out mode as well as MPH (miles per hour) mode which the original model solely provided.
Vehicle specific speed limit advisory - The Road Angel Gem Plus is now equipped with road and vehicle categorisation meaning if you are driving a lorry or towing a caravan then the speed limit database will adjust to 
therestrictions of your vehicle compared with when driving a car whereby there are no restrictions. This will affect overspeed warnings when approaching speed cameras.
New speed location alerts - When approaching a speed cameras location there are two new features these are a voice alert off setting and alert mute setting.
Day and night mode - Finally the new Gem+ and Gem+ Deluxe models have an automatic day/night setting where the units screen changes to a less bright colour scheme at night.
The Road Angel Gem+ Deluxe version is exactly the same as the standard Gem+ model, the difference is the Gem+ Deluxe includes extra accessories. These accessories include a carry case, windscreen suction cup mount, hardwire kit (enabling you to hardwire the Gem+ into your vehicles electrical supply) and 3metre USB Cable. You can also buy all of these accessories separately, although buying them bundled with the Gem+ Deluxe model represents a huge saving!
GPRS mobile phone technology - LIVE updating, SpeedShare and CameraShare
Using a sim card the Gem Plus utilises the GPRS mobile phone network to automatically update its speed camera locations database as you drive, meaning no need to connect the speed camera detector to a computer. There are also two features for updating the database whilst you are driving. These are firstly SpeedShare so you can inform Road Angel instantly via your device if the speed limit has changed for a particular road. Secondly, CameraShare allows you to tell Road Angel instantly over the LIVE GPRS network about the location of a safety camera partnership vans not in the database. Then if another Road Angel user drives past that location within 6 hours of you pressing the button they will also be alerted to presence of the safety camera van.
eAssist feature for contacting emergency services
The Road Angel Gem Plus also features eAssist which when pressed contacts the emergency services sending them the exact coordinates of your location so that they can assist you. You can also talk with the emergency services once this button is pressed.
Laser detection
The Road Angel Gem Plus includes a built-in laser detector with a range of 1 mile that will detect mobile laser guns being used in the road ahead. The laser detector is on the back of the Road Angel Gem+ and the red laser sensor can be seen in the photo below.
Warning to all speed cameras and high risk zones
The Road Angel Gem Plus will warn you to the following speed cameras and high risk zones:
Fixed speed cameras (Gatso, Truvelo, etc.), mobile safety camera locations, red light cameras, traffic light cameras, average speed monitoring zones, black-spot areas, school zones, congestion charge zones, railway crossings.

Please note: The Road Angel Gem Plus and the Gem Plus Deluxe are packed in retail packaging which is ideal for display in a high street store. However, when the same product is sent through the delivery network, customers have occasionally reported torn inner compartments and loose items in the box - which we understood had been addressed by the new owners of Road Angel - InPhase. However, we have received the following from our Road Angel Distributor (who will dispatch your order directly to you).
“Road Angel / InPhase have still not addressed the packaging problem and nine out of ten units are still rolling around in the box and the orange cardboard insert is invariably torn.
For quality control purposes we have been opening all boxes before despatch and wrapping the units in bubble wrap to prevent them getting marked or damaged in transit.
However, InPhase are now attaching a security seal to the outside of the Gem box which we now have to break in order to re-pack them.
Just thought I would let you know in case any of your customers think they are getting a “used” item.”
This packaging issue will be the same - no matter where the Gem Plus is purchased. We, and our distributor, are at least making an effort.
Whichever version of Road Angel Gem+ you buy, it comes complete with all the accessories you need to get it up and running in your vehicle. However, additional and replacement accessories are also available, these include: windscreen suction cup mount, dash mount and car charger adaptor.

This product is a sophisticated electronic device which requires that you read, understand, and act upon the information given in the instruction manual (usually available via the above 'manual' link). You will need internet access and, in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations, regularly seek out and accept all firmware or software updates offered by the manufacturer. All GPS devices need to ‘see’ the satellites in the sky. Therefore you will need to know that your vehicle does not have glass that will block or impede the GPS signal.
Updates to this product are via the internet. At this product page we state compatibility with specific versions of current internet connection devices, for example: PC, laptop, MAC, smartphone etc. The Consumer Contract Regulations allow you 14 days, from receipt of purchase, to check compatibility with your internet connection device/s. If you choose to replace or update your PC, MAC etc. neither we nor the manufacturer will be responsible if the new/replacement Operating System (OS) is not compatible with the purchased product.
Question: I have a Road Angel Gem Deluxe (2015/2016 model) and I need a new screen as the current one has now minimal screen light - cant see during the day, and barely visible at night. All other functions work on the unit.
Answer: While we used to sell the Road Angel Gem Deluxe and we still sell accessories for the Road Angel Gem Deluxe we do not sell internal parts e.g. screen, speaker, etc.
Only the manufacturer is or was offering repairs and replacements of the nature you require.
Question: Does the Road Angel Gem+ Deluxe require an external antenna if my car has a heated front screen?
Answer: There is no external GPS antenna socket/port on the Road Angel Gem+ Deluxe.
Before buying the Road Angel Gem+ Deluxe for use in your vehicle(s) I would recommend that you check with the vehicles manufacturer that the windscreen does not block GPS signals. Some vehicles with heated windscreens have a small area of the windscreen where you can locate GPS based devices.
The Road Angel Gem+ Deluxe requires a GPS signal at all times to operate correctly.
Question: Can I plug an external laser detector into my Road Angel Gem?
Answer: There is no port in which to plug a laser detector into the Road Angel Gem.
The Gem features a built-in laser detector.
