GPS Technology: this product has a built in GPS which tracks down your position and compares it with a database of speed traps, speed cameras and red light locations. Once you get near one of those spots, you get an alert (both visual and audible).

The 9500ci is the best radar detector available, period. My overall score: 4.5/5.0 stars.
