GPS Enabled Radar Detectors and Camera Warning Systems
Enhance your protection from multiple law enforcement methods with a GPS radar detector.
Within the last few years the radar detector industry has seen huge changes as manufacturers
release products with integrated GPS technology. GPS enables radar detectors to do things
that they were never capable of before. The primary benefit of a GPS radar detector is that
a location aware radar detector can alert you as you approach red light cameras or areas where
speed traps are common. The ability of select GPS radar detectors to lock out false alerts
based on location and radar frequency, speed based sensitivity, and custom marked locations
are other advances you will find in some brands.
The models below are GPS enabled radar detectors, or related products offering similar
functionality.

The Escort 9500ix is far and away our recommended GPS enabled radar detector. This detector takes
full advantage of its integrated GPS, eliminating false alerts and alerting drivers to photo enforcement
devices, such as red light and speed cameras using the Trinity database. Drivers are also able to program
custom warnings for specific locations for common speed traps, fixed red lights, or speed cameras. The
"AutoLearn" feature of the 9500ix makes for a quiet, stress free driving experience. The feature
cross-references your location with the frequency of the signal and when it encounters the same signal
in the same spot three times, it stores and blocks it out; ensuring that an alert will only occur when
there is a real speed trap. Most important, with the Escort 9500ix you don't have to worry about
sacrificing performance. This detector has been proven time and again to be one of the most sensitive
models on the market.

The Cobra 9970G is one of Cobra’s flagship radar detectors. In addition to using the popular full color
touch screen interface, the 9970G is also a GPS red light and speed camera detector. The Cobra XRS9970G
radar detector uses Cobra's tested AURA database of red light and speed cameras. It compares your current
location using GPS to the database to warn you as you near known cameras. The GPS module is also easy to
remove, which makes updating very easy! While the 9970G may not offer the radar detection performance of
other models, it is a good choice for those looking for a radar detector with integrated camera warnings
for a very budget friendly price.

The Cheetah C50 is perfect for those that already have a radar detector and are looking for additional
protection against photo enforcement devices. The C50 is not a radar detector, but is a stand alone
GPS based device equipped with the Trinity database of fixed red light and speed cameras. This is the
same database used by the Escort
9500ix and the Beltronics GX65.
