Time has been kinder to the second Road Pilot, as it still looks modern and, importantly, the price is competitive. Mind you, we don't like the bracket, which made removing the unit tricky. The short coiled lead would make the MicroGo impossible to use in some cars, too. Despite its small screen, the device had a large speed read-out, showing the limit and countdown blocks with voice warnings, and put in a faultless pratical performance.
