Passport 9500i Radar Detector with GPS from Escort
Posted February 8th, 2007 by Alex Ion
Getting busted for breaking the speed limit is not fun for you, your wallet or your insurance quote. However, using a radar detector can be helpful sometimes. Since we presented you the Cobra Radar Detector for red-light cameras I thought you may be interested in the new Passport 9500i from Escort. It works like any other radar detectors by alerting you to slow down when it detects some police officers or cameras, but also comes with built-in GPS that can be programmed to do a bunch of things such as programming it to remember specific locations where radars have been encountered so that it alerts you, or to void certain frequencies, buildings for example, that trigger it.
Another interesting feature of the new Passport 9500i is that 
it can set its sensitivity based on your speed. Driving slow would turn down the sensitivity while speeding makes it very agile. It also has SpeedAlert, a function that would show your speed when the alert pops out.
Passport 9500i has a real voice that would alert you to slow down and it’s smart enough to set the volume of the voice based on the noise in the car. All these specifications are useful on a radar detector, but the price is pretty high, $450. Make sure you speed enough so that it’s worth buying it.
