The Classic also combines both the information from the database with the GPS information to alert you of nearby speedtraps and accident blackspots.

When the Road Angel device detects that you are within the set range of a hazard the backlight of the screen will change from green to red and the distance meter will display either 1 to 5 bars depending on the distance of the hazard to allow you to know how close you are to the hazard. Aswell as the backlight and distance meter the screen will also display the hazard type and also give off an audiable alert. As you get closer the audiable alert will frewuency increase aswell as the backlight flashing. Once the hazard has passed the warnings will stop and the backlight will return to green.
