    Escort Max ll HD Radar Detector

    • Warned me of redlight camera's, speed traps, speed signs, and speed camera's.
    • I marked several speed traps and the unit did not remember them... perhaps because of the GPS issue (not accurate enough to pinpoint the
    • There is none better and none smarter as you use smartphone Bluetooth and Location, and your dialed into a network of known cameras, speed traps, cops known in real time, and other hazards
    • I live in a speed trap area where 45mph goes down to 25 mph at the bottom of a hill
    • Speed trap alerts are super annoying
    • 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 like that it gives me a heads up of areas that are known speed traps.
    • Alert you of real time police spotted alertsAlert you of real time radar and laser speed traps in your areaAlert you of historical speed trap locations including aircraft enforcement locationsAlert you of fixed photo enforcement camera locationsEnables you to program the advanced features of your detector through your smart phoneCons:It is pricier than some basic models.
    • 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.
    • This is a wonderful tool for avoiding the sneaky speed traps notorious in my area.
    • As well, a single intersection or highway junction has multiple redundant separate flag/alerts, likely accumulated from separate people/events, for a speed trap meaning that on top of no cops having been seen you're getting alerts repeatedly as you approach that spot
    • This radar detector is expensive, but it will pay for itself over time if it helps you not get caught in a speed trap.
    • Paired via Bluetooth app and you get advanced warning of known speed traps and red light cameras
    • I like the GPS and red-light camera database as well as the real-time exchange of radar speed-traps between users
    • 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
    • The range is great, it gets some of the speed traps from almost half a mile away
    • 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
    • I have passed MANY cops pulled to the side of the road in speed trap formation where they are on the side of the freeway parked facing, and perpendicularly to, the flow of traffic, or hiding on the onramp portion of freeways, etc., and had NO alert whatsoever on the Escort Passport Max 2
    • but it has saved me from Highway Patrol tickets on several occasions while traveling across country and during speed traps
    • Escort also kept reporting 'Speed Trap' - where there was none - no way to disable that one ?
    • Not too many users (I ran both Waze and Live on a 4 hour trip), a lot of info is wrong (speed traps?
    • The suction cup holder makes too much noise while driving, it doesn't get some of the speed traps which I know exist cause I drive by them daily, it gives a lot of false alerts
    • Over the past 3 months Carmel has added 3 new speed traps to my route to and from work
    • I have had TONS of alerts of speed traps coming up, usually saying something like in about 5000 feet ahead, then when I reach the 5000 feet there is nothing there.
    • Unfortunately, a lot of false alarms (live radar, speed traps, KA band etc.), but better to listen to them than getting caught by the cops
