    Escort Max ll HD Radar Detector

    • If connected to live, it shows you the posted speed limit, registered red light cameras and air patrols
    • One the speed limit fluctuated 4 times in 3 miles
    • The only thing connecting to the app with Bluetooth does, that I've seen, is put up the speed limit onto the Escort display, load a ton of supposed traps (speed traps, red light cameras, etc) onto the GPS/map screen in the app
    • I digress, 3 identical residential roads with 3 different speed limits
    • When paired to your phone it tells you the current speed limit (accurate most of the time), beeps when your over the speed limit (if you want the option on), and hasn't failed to alert me to active police detection presence that I am aware of
    • It does have the wrong speed limits on some of the streets, and that's not acceptable, because Escort says the data is updated every week, so how come they can't get the speed limit straight for a major street
    • This thing rarely gives me false positives and I have it setup to notify me if I am doing more than 7mph over the speed limit which is a huge issue for me because I just don't pay attention and really don't mean to speed.
    • I do want to note that it got one area wrong where the speed limit was changed from 65 to 70 last year.
    • I want the arrows, but I feel hesitant every time I remember the need to have the running app to get the speed limit reading on the screen, and even worse knowing that the displayed speed might not be right, which could cost me a ticket if I rely on it!!!I still have the
    • There is a 15-mile stretch of road to the next city over, with a speed limit of 50mph.
    • My favorite feature is the 'over speed' alert, I have it set to tell me when I am 10 mph over the speed limit.
    • There are 3 speed limit signs with speed readouts right by my house and no matter how many times I lockout those annoying signs, it keeps blaring as soon as I pull out of my house
    • When paired to your phone it tells you the current speed limit (accurate most of the time), beeps when your over the speed limit (if you want the option on), and hasn't failed to alert me to active police detection presence that I am aware of
    • If you get the Escort Live subscription it will be much more fun, shows and alerts you about the speed limit, cameras and speed traps
    • It does have the wrong speed limits on some of the streets, and that's not acceptable, because Escort says the data is updated every week, so how come they can't get the speed limit straight for a major street
    • I didn't buy a radar detector so that I could speed (I generally don't speed), but I am increasingly becoming aware of questionable speed traps right at the point when the speed limit drops from say 45 to 30.
    • and it said the speed limit was 75 and it never indicated I was overspeed as it had the before
    • However, after being told while in a parking structure: Caution, speed trap ahead (No speed trap obviously, but if there were one in the area why did it not tell me while I was on the road outside the structure?); after not seeing my speed on the detector for several miles; after not either seeing the speed limit on the machine or seeing one that was totally false; and most egregious of all: having a cop point a radar detector gun right at my car without a peep out of this machine, I decided that there was no way to like it
    • CIP: traveling I-45 to Dallas, passing through Palmer, TX where the speed limit is 65 mph
    • These speed limits are not picked up, so in that sense does not work well at all
    • On the other hand the 9500ix will give you the correct speed limit according to your GPS coordinates and every time an alert pops up it's show you your speed followed by the street's speed limit3
    • The ability to flag a location as a false signal is simple (press Mute 3 times)- Ability for it to warn you when you are going over the speed limit is nice (I set it to warn me when I went 5 mph over).
    • The one other exception, is the voice telling me "over speed" every time I go over the speed limit
    • Anything under 45 mph I have found that these speed limits are not picked up by max2.
    • so it is not set to recognize speed limit of the
    • While the current speed seems to be correct, the other number (the speed limit) seems to just be a set number you pick (so it only warns if you go above 70mph by default).
    • It does go off quite a bit when there are digital speed limit detectors all over the
    • A few moments later 2 law enforcement SUV's slowly passed me (I was doing the speed limit)
    • Sometimes the speed limit displays on the detector when connected to the app, sometimes
    • It needs to be connected to the running app to display the speed limit, otherwise it won't show2
    • the only thing doesn't work is speed limit option
