    Default Escorts Speedtrap USA

    Defender by Escort (Beta)

    I saw this today on the Escort site, I guess it's like trapster but after a speedtrap gets confirmed by some other users it will get added to Escorts speedtrap DB and your 9500ix, or 9500ci will alert to it. I just thought it was kind of cool, I always thought Escorts speedtrap DB sucked. But this actually sounds like a good idea you don't get alot of garbage speetraps like trapster (hopefully).

    This may work better than most databases if users like us are marking locations.

    nice to not have to have multiple devices. i would still have a hard time not using trapster though, much bigger following.

    Hopefully we can get some west coast users. 2years, never seen a speedtrap warning.

    Maybe we just don't have them here.

    It think thats the problem with trapster, in ATL it gives a speedtrap alert every 2 miles and you just stop paying attention to it.

    Users mark places where cops are likely to hide. Every two miles is likely where theres a break in the median.

    You cant use Trapster as if it's going to be right even 20% of the time. Its simply there to keep you alert and looking out for potential hiding spots and threats.

    Just took a quick (non member) look at Trapster.

    Not exactly sure how to use it.

    Can you download the data as a member or do you just view the map and add points to your GPS or mark the points as you drive?

    I think this could be a good idea. I'm not sure how trapster works with adding locations, but if Escorts has some type verification process for building the database, for example, that the threat is accompanied by photo confirmation or is reported by a certain number of unique members in the area before reporting, then I think it could work extremely well.

    Members can add a speed trap location and confirm existing locations that other members have added. Once a trap has enough confirmations then it is added into Defender.
