Secondly and even more relevant to this model, the Bluetooth connection to the app works, but the device fails to show the speed limit on its screen

Both Escorts, when paired with the Escort app, you can see the speed-limit displayed on the detector itself, plus the GPS always shows you your actual speed

The Maps included (at extra cost) are not very accurate for speed limits and often don't show any.

I certainly don’t want a continuous voice reminding me every time I exceed the speed limit

I thought I would give this a try because my commute to work is an hour long and consists of long stretches of road that tempt you to go over the speed limit.

It can also be set to display known speed limits (though, not always correct speed limits) and alert you when you’ve exceeded that speed limit

Drive sensibly, pay attention to speed limits (it shows this on the screen by the way) and use this of course only to make sure you are doing things legally

I wonder why I need to have the app installed if the unit is equipped with GPS, It doesn't update the speed limit real time either

Thankfully the speed limit nag feature can easily be disabled

Still works without the cell phone attached but you won't get the speed limits or red light cams

Additionally, we do I need speed trap alerts when I'm not driving over the speed limit?

One of the features I needed was the advertised ability of the Detector to display "real-time speed limit data".Since registering and activating the

Speed limit data is not up-to-date (even though I have the

Directional arrows display the location of threats while a high-resolution graphic display shows the type, strength and quantity of signals plus real-time speed limit data

I don't know what the deal is, but it looks like I'm not alone with a "bug" when it comes to the radar not displaying the speedometer/speed limits

I did turn off the "over speed" notification, so it would not alert me if I inadvertently went a mile or two over the speed limit.

I was unable to receive real-time speed limit data information on my Max 360.I was connected to a Escort customer service

I have not found a way to turn off/silence the constant "over speed limit" alarms which activate after 1mph over the limit when connected to the Live app

I bought it at the same time i bought my new 2017 mustang gt in Christmas, and it has so far saved me from 4 tickets, we have ridiculous speed limits, so it is the best piece of kit you can buy, i had other radar detectors and none had the range of detection and self learning of this one, it's amazing how it can learn which alerts are not radar detectors and stop alerting you from them

I love the automatic ignore feature of the annoying K band speed limit signs that this detector remembers.

The GPS tagging is superb at eliminating non-threatening alerts; especially helpful if you live close to or commute near speed limit signs

Also, for the price, it should have the speed limits in each area tied to its GPS, automatically.

We were going 62 on the Belt parkway, which has a speed limit of 55

I drove past them doing the speed limit

Some of the features I assumed did NOT require the phone such as the speed limit indicator but that's my bad, not the detector

You do have to connect it through the app on your device for the speed limit to show

I also enjoy the speed warning feature that it pulls off of the maps and it warns you when you go over the speed limit

I live in a large Canadian city and also drive Interstate 5 without the detector displaying 'real-time speed limit data'It was explained to me by the customer service agent that he receives several call a day with people complaining about the non-availability of this feature

You pay Escort a monthly fee of $4.99 in order to unlock the speed limit display on your device (a feature that GPS units have enjoyed without a smart phone for over a decade) and in return they collect an unbelievable amount of personal information and sell it whoever the please.

I also love the fact that when you are connected to your phone the speed limit shows

One good use of the app is that the Speed Limit would be accurate and it would reflect it on the radar.

But if I unconsciously creep into a ticket worthy speed, especially in areas especially designed to generate revenue in municipalities where the speed limit drops from, say 55 to 35 without clear signage, I like being aware of my surroundings and threats

He confirmed that the free premium subscription service which provides 'real-time speed limit data' was enabled for my Detector

For the price class, I would expect much more sophisticated rejection of false signals and detection of actual police speed measurement and that the detector be automatically aware of the posted speed limits via GPS, with free updates, right out of the box.

I rarely travel 15 MPH/KmPH over speed limit

I'm giving this thing at least one star because it at least tells me when I am over the speed limit, otherwise it's useless and a complete waste of money.

If you're still using a 9500ix or X50 , then then whip out the credit card baby, or better learn to start driving the speed limit again.

The data defender, speed limits, are not up-to-date in my city either

Alerts me for every K band I was going through until I cloud not make the difference between the real one and the fakes one

their customer support availability is very limited, 9-5:00 M-F eastern time, and I can't find solution online

Their customer service/support is only available M-F from 9 to 5:30 so basically useless if you work until 5:00
