| "A very good balance of
style with a great display and a perfect performance..." |
 Identical
to the TR30 [Lite]... and by paying £50 less you lose the extra
voices and laser detector.
It had the same impressive display and didn't
put a foot wrong in the test. A very good balance of
style with a great display and a perfect performance.
TR30 Lite
Not only did this unit find the mobile sites
and fixed traps, and clear quickly, it was well laid out too.
The voice warning gave trap type and limit, while the display
showed the road number of the next camera. You can opt for character
voices (such as Yoda from Star Wars.) |

| "[The] new TR30 Lite is the
best system here" |
Autocar:
Our Choice
You're less likely
to have heard of Technology Driven Solutions than the other
two brands
on test, but its new TR30 Lite is the best system here;
its database of cameras is more comprehensive than the others;
it's
also easy
to tailor its audio and visual alerts to suit, and the
way it deals with the new SPECS cameras by calculating your average
speed is
particularly effective. Other products on test:

| "This is brilliant" |
 This is brilliant.
It spotted every fixed and mobile camera site on our test route
in good time and gave clear warnings. At the point of alert it
gives the speed limit, your speed and the camera type and beeps
increase in intensityas you approach. If you are under the limit
it is silent.
The display is clear and easy to read in all
light. The TR30's trumpcard is its permanent power feed from
the battery which means it doesn't waste time searching for satellites
at ignition. |

| "A brilliant piece of
kit" |
 The new kid
on the block and what a debut it makes. The TR30 is close to
faultless. It spotted every single fixed and mobile site on our
test route in good time and gave clear warnings, packed with
useful information.
At the point of alert the speed limit, camera
type and your current speed are given and beeps increase in intensity
as you approach the camera. However, if you are under the limit
the unit mutes, which is great. The display is clear, easy to
read in all lights and we love the minimalist design. The TR30's
trumpcard is the fact it has a permanent feed from the battery.
The unit uses the same amount of power as your
car's clock to hold satellite lock so the instant you turn it
on it works. This means you can't use it with another car, but
most users will live with that. The only hiccup on our 30 mile
test route was one false alert for a ficticious mobile camera
site but we can forgive it one minor infraction. A brilliant
piece of kit. |

| "Its
performance is outstanding..." |
Can we
recommend it, Yes.
TDS have produced this feature packed
unit. Its performance is outstanding and it is the NEW class
leader in fitted systems.
The TR 30 gets top marks and is a worthy unit.
If you are after a fitted unit then this unit must be on your
shopping list.

| "As close
to "Future-Proof" as you can get." |
|
This is a very clever bit of kit. As close to "Future-Proof" as
you can get.
Think about what you would want a GPS
detector to do – it’s
got it. You can personalise this unit to get it to work exactly
the way you want it to work.
It's a serious contender to the
Road Angel for the best system.
The TR30 is great value for money and very
easy to use with more features than anything else on the market.
Very comprehensive database
- probably the best of the lot.
WHAT COULD BE BETTER?
Very little indeed – there are no features missing on
this device.
It’s funny when you think about it, that the only minor
gripe we had against the TR30 is that the database is too good.
It’s so comprehensive, particularly on mobile sites,
that it could get annoying if there is no safety camera van
using the location that day. However this point also demonstrates
why we think this is probably the best GPS system on the market.

| "[The TR30] is
the daddy" |
Here’s a product from...
...Surrey-based company Technology Driven Solutions and this
is the start of a roll-out of some
attractive GPS products available this year.
Their first venture,
the TR30
and its budget alternative the TR20, is borne out of some careful
examination of the existing equipment
available. Having tried the TR30, I can say that without doubt,
this device is the daddy. It has a breadth of performance and
convenience that leaves most of the opposition struggling in
its wake. |
