Uniden hasn't been long in the GPS game, but its experience in high-end radar detectors goes back years and years. So it's no surprise that, come CES, it will be the first company to introduce a MapTrax GPS navigator with radar detection built in. We don't know much about them yet, like how the radar detection might be represented on a map, or if detection could help mark speed traps on the screen, but damn if it's not a start. People who note the placement of portable GPS navigators have asked me for years about this—"Why can't it have a 'fuzz buster' so I can see where all the cops are?" Well Dad, guess what? You're gonna get your wish. [Uniden]

A good quality radar detector will identify all frequencies of police radar (X, K, and Ka band) at distances that are great enough to allow you to slow down before your speed is detected by police radar. A high-end radar detector will ... detect laser (lidar) devices used by the police. Unfortunately though, if your detector picks up a laser signal, it's probably too late to slow down and avoid detection if you're speeding.

The Passport 9500i is a radar detector that has GPS loaded into it, giving you even more of an excuse to dangerously speed without worrying about getting busted. The GPS doesn't do anything fancy like give you directions — no, that would be boring. Instead, it memorizes the locations of speed traps to better warn you about hidden 5-0, and can ... memorize locations of false alarms so you aren't always hearing an alarm when you pass a convenience store with an automatic door and a microwave. more
