1.0 out of 5 stars take a close look at their website before you buy, July 27, 2009

These guys are good at marketing, but you should take a close look at the content of this POI file on their website before you buy this. They have a map of included locations. Review it carefully for your area. This is user-submitted content, so anything that any user adds get added to the file. The bulk of the contents in my area are speed traps and school zones (along with some incorrect and correct red light cameras). The speed traps are all over the place. The GPS goes off CONSTANTLY with speed traps. It goes off so much that I don't even really "hear it" any more. When the alert is so frequent that it goes off all the time, every time you drive, it defeats the purpose. I've lived here for 15 years and while I have no doubt that at one time a police officer probably sat at all of the so called speed trap locations, the fact that that location is a frequent speed trap location is a joke. What happens is one customer saw a cop there one time and submitted it to the site. Suddenly that becomes a "speed trap?" I don't think so. All I can say is review their website map yourself for your area before you buy and see all the massive, ridiculous quantity of locations in the file. Decide for yourself whether you want to be subjected to all of those alerts all the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Phantom Alert--pretty good, but not current, December 11, 2009

While I expect this to be a worthwhile product in the long haul, it's pretty annoying in the D.C./northern VA region (and likely elsewhere). Seems that because it is "user supported", if anyone ever even THINKS they saw a speedtrap, it's reflected with an alert, even if the cop was only there once, long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Also, most (all?) redlight cameras have been pulled from VA, but they still pop up as an alert.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it just follow the instuctions, August 12, 2009

After a couple tries at installing this in my 255w i finally got it working. I had to get help from customer service but it ended upthat I just didn't follow the directions all the way to make the alarms when I installed it- drove by a school a few blocks away the first time and nothing then tried it again after they helped me and the alarm goes off with a red bar just in time for back to school reminders. cameras seem to work fine also it goes off all the time but we have lots of cameras and they said I could change the warning distance if i need to. so far worth the ten bucks if it saved me from a ticket will probably upgrade to another plan if it continues to work or the phone version is released
