Veil Guy's GPS Detectors Video Demonstration & Comparison

Veil Guy takes four leading GPS detectors and pit them against the red-light monitored intersections of North East Philadelphia. We used our reference GPS detector, the Cheetah C100 (and its sister product, the GPS Mirror) and compare it the latest GPS-enabled radar detectors, the Cobra XRS-9960G, Beltronics Pro GX65, and the Escort Passport 9500ix.

Windshield-mount detectors may work good, but they stick out like a sore thumb. They make attractive targets for thieves, and I gotta believe a cop will be MORE inclined to give you a ticket (instead of a break) if he sees a great big radar detector sitting there.

Why can't someone design a stealthy detector with a clever DISCRETE mounting system? I see no option other than installing a 'remote' detector.

The new Passport iQ might just be your ticket:

i would hav to say the cobra is the one that gives the earliest alerts then the cheetah and the escort and beltronic are same speed

In the case of RLCs that is not necessarily a good thing. In fact it is a liability in urban areas like Washington, DC. The density of RLCs are high enough and some roads close enough that the Cobras become absolutely unusable in such areas because of the continuous falsing that occurs. This is at a time when accurate warnings are essential. Vector-based systems likes those of Cheetah and (newer) Escorts are the way to go. If you doubt me, take your Cobra for a spin in DC...then let's talk.

if you notice the cobra alerts way before than the others i love that..

[veilguy]

Cobra's wider alerting radius will result to a greater frequency of alerts to adjacent intersections in high density photo enforced areas, like Washington D.C.

Escort and Beltronics recently reduced their alert radius to lower potentially excessive alerts in such areas which is why they alerted a little later.

Cheetah is the most resistant to excessive alerting because of their more advanced filtering mechanisms.

i wish the cobras worked as good as they looked...

Cobra XRS-9960G is the BEST !!!!

[HenryNguyen1012]

If listen to 9500xi and 65GX alert, they both said you reach your marked location , that mean escort and bel not up to date redlight camera..Cobra is the best and on par with this test...9500ix and 65GX needed to update the database, redlight camera

looks like you live in nazi germany, where the hell is this place ?!?

[ChevySS1968]

@veilguy Thank you! That one, and the new Whistler Pro-3600 BOTH look very interesting!

Thanks again for the blog!

[username2153]

@veilguy ok so what do you think in your opinion is the best radar detector for 300 or less? thanks.

Hey 'veilguy,' you look like a moron in that stupid hat. kthx

[statetrooper21]

cobra is the best
