...Then they made the machines smarter. They were built to learn and became smarter and smarter, slowly at first where no one would notice.
Oh what the hell! I'll be dead by the time they take over. I'm buying one!

My passport X50 has proven itself to be a very useful tool for reducing donation$ to the man, and I expect nothing different from this. The tools for false alert removal for local riding would be a nice feature to have.

I wonder if it'll start filtering a favorite speed trap location? That might not be a plus.

That is a pretty cool feature. However, when I saw Escort and GPS, I was kinda hoping for a digital display of a map of the area with a pinpoint location of the laser/radar that is trying to track me. That would have quieted all those "but mine has arrows" types for a while!

Hmmmm, why'd they stop were they did with this unit? As long as they stuck GPS into it, why not included mapping features and a full screen? :dntknw:

Next release is the 9500i-DDL (Dunkin Donut Locator), guaranteed to find both radar and the man, with handy GPS coordinates to boot!

Notice the name at the bottom of the GPS. I'm pretty sure there is a room full of lawyers getting rich while they figure out if the detector goes in the GPS or if the GPS is going into the detector and who gets what royalties.
The 'Escort GPS' is really a Garmin unit in all but name. Reminds me of my wife's pickup truck whose tailgate read CHEVROLET. That was the only Chevrolet part on that truck, everything else was straight Isuzu.

Pretty soon we will need access to one of THESE DOOZIES also if the number of traffic cams begins to increase.

Just picked me up one of these pups. Not the same form factor as prior generations. Much bigger! None of the covers or enclosures for prior models are gonna fit. Haven't tested it yet. Hope it works with my HARD setup.

Scratch what I said before. I must have been on drugs. Overall size is the same, although the shape is a bit different. The new one has a narrower front to it.
Old one is for sale. See the classifieds.
