Cobra Releases First GPS-Equipped Radar Detector

Cobragps

We don’t do posts on most new radar or GPS devices, only those that are truly newsworthy. The new Cobra XRS R9G ($449.95) is the first radar detector in the U.S. with GPS. Why is that important, neat, worth $450? Because the XRS R9G — rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it? — can store the locations of red-light and speed cameras after they’ve been detected. So if you take that third option to get home around traffic only once a month, you won’t forget where all the cameras are. Cobra is looking to add even better functionality to alert drivers to high-accident zones, school zones and construction zones. Plus, the XRS R9G still detects those pesky radar guns.

Like Spanky, I also live in VA. This detector can remember high accident zones and school zones. It is a shame they don't make one that does all the things listed except leave off the radar gun detection so that us Virginians can take advantage of the safety features.

Try by jury.
Would any jury actually convict after seeing the outright criminality and corruption of the cops?
