What are the advantages of using radar detectors with a GPS logger?

In the modern world, drivers increasingly faced with increasing fines on the road; this is especially true for those who often prefer to exceed speed. Many police posts are now equipped with state-of-the-art devices to quickly and accurately identify violators, and this entails financial payments from the motorist.

An excellent way out for drivers is innovative devices that work with an integrated GPS module; these devices are more efficient and accurate. With their help, you can learn in time about the presence of police radars and cameras on the road and reduce your speed in a timely manner. A huge selection of such devices presented on our website. Radar-detectors with GPS logger can be bought on 130.com.ua with delivery to Kharkov, Odessa, Kiev and in Ukraine.

Advantages of GPS system in radar detectors for cars

The absence of this module significantly reduces the performance of devices detecting radar.

1. The presence of the navigation system makes it possible to determine the devices of the police, who work in a radar less range, measuring the speed of cars, for example, the Avtodoria. In this case, the driver will be notified in advance about the presence of a camera or a radar complex on the road, the display will show information about it, so the driver will be able to reduce the speed in advance.

2. An important advantage of a radar detector with GPS logger is the ability to bind to a specific area. This way the device will be able to auto-correct the speed parameters, which is allowed in this area.

3. Such devices are able clearly determine the speed of movement of the vehicle, thus, their operation is more than accurate. This information used to determine the response limit, but it is worth considering that some devices may be mistaken because they do not define the threshold between the city and the out-of-city traffic.

Thus, an important advantage of such automotive radar detectors is their functionality and accuracy, despite the conditions and speed of movement. They work accurately and quickly, making trips safer and less expensive, especially for lovers of fast and maneuverable driving.

Features of a functional and the principle of operation of the detecting devices

Modern radar detectors are compact; they can be easily and easily mounted on the dashboard or windshield by connecting to the cigarette lighter. The principle of their work is as follows:

• Police radar complexes operate based on the Doppler Effect – the device emits a frequency signal reflected from the vehicle and returns. A comparison is made of the frequency of the signal at the beginning and after reflection, based on these indicators it is possible to calculate the machine and its speed;
• radar complexes compare information on the reflected signal, but the radar detector determines this signal. Their principle of operation is to issue a more powerful signal; this makes it possible to determine the police radar before the car gets into its area of operation.

It is worth considering that, police radar covers an area of no more than 400-800 m, but radar detectors are able to detect the presence of a radar complex from a distance of 1-3 km, it all depends on the device model and its functionality. In any case, the driver will not only be notified, but will also be able to slow down in advance, avoiding a penalty for exceeding the speed limits.

The importance of frequency ranges

For optimal use of the device, it is necessary that it be properly and precisely tuned; this refers to the frequency ranges in which it operates. A larger number of police radars operate in three known ranges:

• X with a frequency of 10,525 MHz – simpler and outdated models;
• K with a frequency of 24 150 MHz – innovative and more powerful devices;
• AC with a frequency of 34,700 MHz – more modern and less common equipment.

It is very important when choosing a radar detector to make sure that it is possible to determine all three frequency ranges. In addition, very often they have now begun to use pulsed devices; they give out waves of pulses, which determine speed indicators much faster. However, many radar detectors can cope with this; in many modern models, the presence of a function to determine these radar complexes is also provided.

The difficulty of choosing a suitable radar detector with GPS logger

In order to choose the best variant of the device detecting radar, it is necessary to take into account a number of important factors.

1. Identification of all known ranges used in radar police complexes.

2. Ability to notify about the approach of the radar, the distance to it and its varieties.

3. Resistance to noise detection, it prevents the likelihood of false positives.

4. The presence of several modes of operation for the possibility of reconfiguration of speed indicators.

Also, important are the design features of the device – high-quality and durable housing, the presence of a reliable fastening. For effective use, important indicators of temperature ranges, so that you can easily operate the radar detector in cold weather or heat.

Using radar detectors abroad

Many EU countries and the US have a negative attitude towards the use of radar detectors, in some of which their use completely prohibited. Therefore, it is necessary to use such devices with caution abroad, especially in the Baltic and Scandinavian countries, very strict rules regarding detection devices operate in Austria and France.

Therefore, drivers who prefer to travel by car, you need to select the model of devices that have the function of covert operation, without the definition of their special police devices, for example, Specter Elite. The more modern models include hybrid devices in which the recorder and the radar detector are combined; they are additionally equipped with an anti-detection option.

These include the car DVR Neoline X-COP 9100; it is equipped with protective functions from detection systems such as VG-2, Specter 4 and Specter Elite. In addition, there is a function to disable the radar detector, while it performs the functions of a GPS-informer. Having decided to purchase such a registrar or other similar device, the driver may not worry about the safety of movement, and will be able, if necessary, to use a radar detector.
