Comments on: Uniden combines a radar detector and a GPS

Uniden's line of Trax GPS devices lets you plug in a Uniden radar detector.

This is a clever idea, not only for the reasons you listed but because it looks like an innocent GPS. The "naughty" radar detection capabilities aren't visible to anyone who would see it mounted in your windshield. I'm thinking of the cars that whiz along the expressway with the radar detectors mounted in plain view; I wonder if these motorists might be suspected as potential speeders just because they have a radar detector.

It doesn't sound like this GPS/radar detector will have a radar jammer, so it shouldn't raise a ruckus to law enforcement - but I do like it's subtlety.

The article states that the radar would be plugged into the GPS unit. That would mean that you would still need to use a seperate Radar Detector and it would still need to be mounted, just that the GPS unit could give visual aids from the radar to the screen of the GPS.

It would be really nice if the GPS unit would also have Radar/Laser detection built into it also. Combined and packed into one unit...

the idea is smart but not innovative. it would be innovative if the radar is built-in with the GPS, which I totally agreee with keiser68's comments.

Give it time and the Electronic Companies will combine GPS devices and radar detectors into one. Technology haven`t catch up yet.
