GPS/Radar Hybrids
December 28th 2007 07:09
Uniden is getting ready to unveil its GPS/Radar hybrid for CES. For now virtually nothing is known about these new fangled gadgets but if they are what I think they are they could be used to locate speed cameras and cops, and possibly rogue kangaroos.
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.

so a rogue kangaroo, yeah great! but i thought having police radars around was for a good reason, namely to slow down those that drive way too fast? not sure if this is good, or will it have the same effect as the radar itself?
