Default No thanks!

They have to get the locations reported and put in their system first..by that time I'm thinking the police have got their quota and are setting up at a different location......

They have many favorite locations, that they return to on a regular basis. Good feeding grounds

If you already have one of these GPS units. Why not 39.00 for the year is a little extra insurance. Still need to be smart, it's not intended to help you speed, it's to help you from being picked off unfairly during a normal drive. Everyone (almost) everyone speeds a little, sometimes it's just the luck of the draw that you get picked off, and you know if there are two cars at the same speed, an Impala and Corvette, guess who's getting pulled over.

I just drive stress free with the fastest group of cars. Been driving 19 years and never had a ticket yet.

I have it and can say well it is not perfect it is very good. In most cities the speed traps are standard because the area has to have a current survey. More over they are trying to control the urge to speed, as well as generate revenue. I am running my Garmin Nuvi 560 constantly because it provides my hands free phone interface. Having the warning helps. My only complaint is that at the current time I can't download the data files to my AVIC 700BT which is the system installed in my 1990 C4. Working that issue with AVIC 411 site.

The real advantage is when I travel to places I don't know well. As an example I live in Southern California, but will be traveling to Reston VA. Nice to have some heads up to where the stop light cameras and speed traps are.
