    Trapster is an excellent source for red/speed camera & known speed trap POI files for Garmin & Tom-Tom GPS's. I'm not referring to their live feature.

    New Pro 300

    Yeah I heard about that but I don't have a internet enabled phone so I dismissed it from my brain. Bad example on my part.

    What I like best about the V1 that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough is it's quick trigger reaction to very momentary radar signals. Others keep silent.
