Submission + - GPS Radar Detector Announced
kn0my writes: About two years ago when deciding to blow way too much money on a radar detector I tried locating a GPS-based radar detector. I ended up shelling out for an Escort Passport 8500, it's held up fine and saved me a few speeding ticket in the process.
To this day I'm still filled with tons of false positives most which I have adapted to b/c my routes around the city are often repeated. So my question was why not be able to mark false positives by pressing a button, the unit tracks the coordinates and the next time knows to not alert you when you're close to those coordinates. This obviously could be expanded by changing sensitivity as you're moving faster as well (along with volume and alertness). Lastly I thought it would be even better if you could share this data with other radar detector owners by uploading the information to a portal.
Today something similar was released (minus the portal and data sharing part). I know some laws apply to some states, but most allow radar detectors.
