Arguably the most popular electronic devices for automotive use are the GPS navigation unit and the radar detector. The newest Passport iQ from Escort combines both these into a single device, and from what we've seen, it merges the functionality of both the radar detector and the GPS seamlessly. Toowoomba escorts

Escort is noted for their radar detectors, and at the core of this product is the first class Escort 9500ix radar detection platform. They've done some significant engineering on the machine to get it to match inside a 5" GPS, but from what we're told, the radar detection performance is on par with the 9500ix.

On the radar detection functionality, this unit packs a serious punch. They've given you a lot of display options, including the new Expert mode, which is truly a mix of the last Expert Meter and Spec Meter modes. This program displays around four simultaneous radar alerts on any band combined with the signal strength and numeric frequency. The iQ may also display your current speed, the posted speed limit on the street you're driving, and the direction you're heading with an electronic compass. It's laden up with Escort's Defender database of speed traps, red light cameras, and speed camera locations for North America and will warn you if you will find any in your route. Whenever you go by false alerts, the iQ will learn their locations and will reject them in the future. Escort Engine Services

Together with all that, the Passport iQ can also be a fully featured GPS navigation system. It provides the newest NAVTEQ maps and provides clear turn-by-turn voice guided directions. The system will display 3D maps on the 5" touchscreen monitor and includes lane assist functionality to assist you know wherever you'll need to show or exit. 

If you are like me and make use of a radar detector and a GPS navigation each and every day, this unit might be the clear answer to clutter in your dashboard. This unit truly has an excellent mix of a GPS and a radar detector at a price that's cheaper than buying both separately.
