	This Papago model is loaded with features, including an impressive 146 degree capture of the scene in front of your car. Its standard format is a 21:9 ratio image- most wide screen tvs today are 16:9 ratio, so it is really a wide view. In spite of this, the image is pretty sharp edge to edge and does not look like you are viewing the world through a fish-eye lens…	Read More…
	Over the past month I have had a Papago GoSafe 520 in my car recording the driving environment. In that time there were two close calls with cars cutting me off and one driver that had road rage against another driver, recording everything that was happening while I was on the move. The road rage video was turned over to local law enforcement, as it did provide witness to an accident caused by the road rage…	Read More…

	So many features, I can’t list them all… from “G-force sensors” to “anti-fatigue alarms” for those long 2 hours drives. There’s a lot to customize if you so choose. Or just plug n’ play… you don’t even have to set up the “time and date” if you want to!	Read More…
