It seems like such a natural to combine a GPS and a radar detector in one unit. You fasten both to your windsheild and plug them into the cig-socket. I would've thought that by now someone would've made a unit that's both.

I see that Uniden will make a plug that goes from a detector to a GPS to show you on the map where the radar signals originate. But that's not good enough. I want one unit.

Also, though I don't use a detector now, I know that police are very biased against them (as they should be.) A couple of times when I've been pulled over, the first thing the officer asked was 'are you using a radar detector?' I'm sure if the answer was obvious, I would have less options--but if I just have a nav-screen on my windshield, maybe he'll be lenient.

Maybe the two companies that do these have to get together to make this happen. Maybe it never will.
