The Snooper Sapphire is the latest product from the stable that brought you the superb Indago and the Snooper Evolution.
The Sapphire is without doubt the most stylish system around with a flush, more modern look including a chrome rear casing.As well as the usual voice alerts, full colour visual alerts (with 11 colour options) warn you of impending speed camera type, speed limit and distance to camera. All information is stored on Snooper's unique Enigma database and also includes European cameras.
Another plus for the Sapphire is the built in rechargeable battery which means no trailing wires (although a cigar lead cable is provided in case of emergencies). The unit is also mounted on the screen using the provided window mount and the powerful flip antenna means even the UV screens present little or no problems. Despite the features, the high black gloss facing unit is relatively compact and is sure to appeal to the safety conscious, discerning motorist.
From Auto Express - 17th Aug. 06 :
The latest addition to Snooper’s speed camera locator line-up is a real gem! The Sapphire has a range of options – not only does it warn of camera sites, accident blackspots and school zones, but you can fit it just about any way you want to.
It can be clipped to an air vent and hard-wired into the car; stuck on the screen and plugged in to the cigar lighter socket; or even powered by its own rechargeable battery. A 1.75-inch colour screen displays the prevailing speed limit, backed by voice alerts, and the unit can be updated through your PC.

Important Laser info.- The proposed changes in legislation with regards to the banning of speed camera detectors will not affect Syrius, Indago, Sapphire & Evolution GPS units.
Below is an extract from the dft website.
“The Government will not be prohibiting those devices that rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to warn drivers of published camera sites or posted speed limits, as these compliment the Government's policy to ensure that camera sites are visible and conspicuous to drivers, and so help deter excessive and inappropriate speeds on the roads.”
