Worried about being caught by a red light speed trap that will photograph your license plate if you fail to stop for a traffic light? How about his free standing Red Light Camera Detector. It uses an internal GPS and 6,000 location database to compute whether you’re passing within range of a red light and speed camera. The red light camera database is updated monthly using information from chambers of commerce and state contracts. Simply connect the device to a PC running XP or Vista and download the latest red light camera locations from the manufacturer’s website. Includes one year of free updates; $19.95 annually thereafter. Of course other alternatives would be software such as Trapster for the iPhone (free) or my favorite detector – the Escort Passport 9500ix (review) more expensive at about $450 but the detector combines radar/laser and red light alerts into one dash device. Or you could just use the best alternative which is to stop for all red lights.
