    Default Escort Live Make Me A Believer PLEASE !!!!!

    I recently purchase a Redline with Escort Live. I use to own a Bel STIR and V1 a couple of years ago (talk about a perfect setup). I was very curious on how many alerts I would receive from Escort Live and I have to admit as for now i'm very disappointed. The only alerts I have receive are the alert setting that are "Cop Spotted" which only means that there was or still is a cop in that location. I haven't receive any Escort Live KA alert at all from another driver. I have noticed that there is at least one person with Escort live because when i zoom out on the map on the App I can see a KA alert in a location that is always there on a highway that I never go on.

    The biggest eye opener is that I live in NYC and I drive to Long Island every day. I thought that since there are 8.3 Millions people that live in NYC and 7.5 Millions of people that live on Long Island you would just expect to have many alerts and for now this is not the case at all whatsoever. I was telling myself all the other reviews that I have read from people that live in the Mid west or areas that are very low populated just had the bad luck of living in a area where the population is not big which in return less people to purchase Escort Live and less alerts. I guess I was wrong for now.

    There are only a few reasons why I think there might not be as many alerts as I was expecting. First NYC/ LI have had a few Snow Storms and it has been very icy on the roads. In return this means less speeding and less State Troopers or NYC highway Patrol leaving there radar on (no need to have there radar on when people are driving 50 MPH). Second It is still winter and many people were taking transportation instead of driving their own vechile. I would say around April, May or June if I dont see more KA alerts than this would tell me that there are just not enough people that have purchase the Escort Live and I will be cancelling the membership at the end of the year.

    I have drove in the morning in the afternoon and at night and the KA alerts are just not there. I do have to admit when Escort Live Alerts "Cop Spotted" every time except for once I was able to find the LEO (not once did the officer have his radar on, they probably was just relaxing). If I cant receive many alerts in a city like NYC or Long Island (more Highway Miles), I doubt that you will also.

    In order for Escort Live to achieve its main purpose, let drivers around the country be aware where speed traps are in their own neck of the woods, in REAL TIME of course, the followings MUST occur first:

    1) drivers must have in their vehicles an Escort Live compatible RD, not all RDs work with Escort Live, RDs compatible with Escort Live are pretty expensive compared to most of RDs on the market AND you cannot buy them from regular stores like Walmart, BB, truck stops, etc. Most of drivers use RDs they find in regular stores, Cobras for instance.

    2) drivers must have a smartphone WITH the Escort Live App in their vehicle.

    3) you must pay the $20/month subscription.

    So, as you can see, Escort Live ain't gonna achieve its final goal in YOUR part of the world when very few (if any) drivers chose the very expensive 1) + 2) + 3) "magic" combination.

    Don't think that if YOU can afford these pretty expensive "toys", rest of the ppl around you can too.

    UNLESS Escort Inc CEO successfully creates a very regulated National EscortLiveCare pool and MANDATES every living American Driver to use it OR will face a hefty fine...

    But hey, maybe Bieber "BelieBer" will do some "magics" on his part... hopefully not just with... eggs

    Best of luck out there.

    PS Or maybe blame it on Chris Christie

    I've noticed a lot less Ka LIVE alerts recently. I think that the people that reached the end of their yearly subscription have chosen not to renew.
    The cost vs. results isn't worth it. Escort should lower the cost to get more subscribers; that whould drive results that are necessary to make this a really great product.

    Plus you don't need any speed measuring warning devices at all, for those that either cannot afford them and/or illegal to use in their own areas, Canadian provinces or Commonwealth of VA.

    Have seen lots of blue-hat "little LEO head" warning signs in the Toronto Area on waze.

    LOVE IT.
