Trinity/Defender Database

[CactusMan]

Reading on the Escort site the database Defender is now being used along with the Trinity site as well.

I assume since Bel and Escort are practically the same company that Bel is using the Defender/Trinity database as well for red light cameras etc.

Is this a plus or a minus? A bonus or a set back - maybe I misread but from the Escort site here is a partial sentence........:and recognize that the vast majority of new trap data points will most likely not be new to you or your driving area so in nearly all cases you should experience no new traps! "

If Bel is using the Defender / Trinity database I guess what I am asking is is this a plus or a minus.?

The email I got from Belscort says it has a speedtrap database. I guess if it goes off too much in town where I always drive, I will disable speedtraps in the menu.
I think on the highway or on a trip somewhere it could be very usefull when you get near known traps, especially if they are hidden or real sneaky.

Dear Beltronics GX65 Owners,

For the past few months, you've counted on us to provide
you with the most up to date database of "Camera"
locations, and starting this week, you can count on Beltronics
to provide you with a new national database of the top Speed trap Locations! Our new Defender database includes it all!

That's right, using only verified data, the Defender database will add to your detector the top speed trap locations in North America.

Don't delay, update today!

Essentially all Escort is doing is hiding the Trinity database name and using the Defender name instead because of the addition of speed traps. Plus the Defender name sounds cooler.

Actually that doesnt sound so good.
