Why doesnt a GPS Detector pick up mobile speed traps?
As we said above, GPS Detectors don’t actually “detect” anything. They are really GPS Locators. They have no detection components inside them so cannot tell when a radar gun or laser gun is being used. They can store locations where radar and laser guns have been used in the past and can warn you when you are aproaching those locations, but this does not mean that a mobile speed trap is being used at that location now. This is often called storing “common mobile sites.” Relying on GPS location to fully protect against mobile speed traps is simply not effective. GPS is good for reminding about fixed map locations, not moving targets. For a more detailed explanation of the weaknesses, click here.
