Radar detector with GPS

"We don’t do posts on most new radar or GPS devices, only those that are truly newsworthy. The new Cobra XRS R9G ($449.95) is the first radar detector in the U.S. with GPS. Why is that important, neat, worth $450? Because the XRS R9G — rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it? — can store the locations of red-light and speed cameras after they’ve been detected. So if you take that third option to get home around traffic only once a month, you won’t forget where all the cameras are. Cobra is looking to add even better functionality to alert drivers to high-accident zones, school zones and construction zones. Plus, the XRS R9G still detects those pesky radar guns."

so does that tell you where the cops are sitting? because that would be great

its still a cobra..... their gps has the red light detection aswell.

and it is not the first with gps, the escort 9500i was. i have it and it is sweet. it can store false alarms like gas stations and it will never go off in that are again, unless there is a cop sitting in that gas station.
with the 9500 u can store locations to so it will warn you a mile away if you going over 50 or half a mile away if your going under. so you cna mark speed traps and cameras.

and it also tells you how fast your going with the gps

also you cant pin point a location of a cop. the only way i know is with a police scanner which is illegal to have in a car. and thats not telling location unless they say it over the radio

do cop cars have some sort of tracking device in their car? if they do then it can be done with a bit of hacking

once again that would be sweet

thats....pretty cool actually. that might have to replace my 9 year old radar detector that ive had ever since i got my license it might be old, but shit still works when it counts tho

also to comment they have a radar detector that not lonly detects it but you can set a speed for it to send back to the detector. so say your going 100 and u set the device to 77. if a cop radars you it will say 77 on his
