Im torn between the Snooper Syrius S600 Plus with its speed camera detection facilities and the equivalently priced Tom Tom 520/720 with the FM transmitter and MP3 facilities to link with the car radio. Which would you choose and why?
A. Hi Paul! Going to have to draw a blank on this one…. I’ve never been able to get hold of a Syrius for a review, and haven’t found any definitive reviews on the net either. It looks well specified, but I would recommend you tried one before you buy, then have a go with a TomTom. I would imagine that the Snooper has the best speed-camera database, but you are paying for it… If you do go for the Snooper, send us a review and we’ll put it up on the website. Regards, Rob. Reply: Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply. I think I’ll settle for the TomTom. The latest ‘Which’ report this month rates the 520 a best buy and has dropped all references to the Snooper having made it a best buy last time together with the 510. (I only use ‘Which’ as a guide anyway because their reports are often out of date and feature products which have been discontinued and/or superseded.) The only issue I’ve got with the 520/720 is that according to the TomTom website it doesn’t seem to be compatible with my mobile,
