Overview
Uniden pairs front and rear antennas with built-in GPS in this laser and radar detector. Directional arrows point to where a signal comes from, and voice alerts announce what type it is.
Directional arrows and dual antennas show where a signal originates, and GPS marks let the unit remember local trouble spots. The limitation is sparse documentation: warranty terms and mounting hardware are not spelled out.
Who it's for
Drivers on busy highways who watch for cameras and signals from either direction gain from the arrows and voice cues. Occasional drivers, or those who want a plain no-GPS unit, will not use most of the features.
Pros and cons
- Front and rear antennas
- Directional arrows show signal source
- GPS with user marks
- Voice alerts and camera warnings
- Warranty terms point to a website
- Only K and Ka bands named
- Power cord and mount not listed
Performance notes
Dual antennas let the unit compare signal strength from ahead and behind, which is how the arrows show direction. GPS marks mute repeat false alerts and announce known camera points, but they need repeated passes to learn. Range depends on antenna sensitivity and line of sight through the windshield.
