I haven’t heard much about this except from what I happened to catch on Gizmodo this morning, but it looks like Uniden is going to have a GPS/Radar detector built into one device. Apparently there will be a version of the Uniden MaxTrax GPS system that is going to have a built-in radar detector.

So for those of you who have a heavy foot and want to be able to know where you’re going and where that cop is hiding on your GPS, you don’t have to wait any longer. Apparently Uniden is going to combine their long history of making radar detectors with their new introduction into the GPS market.

Not much is revealed about how the GPS will spot cops or traffic lights or whatever, but when I find out, I’ll be sure to update you.

Until then, keep it under 100 if you can.
