I think the Escort Passport Radar Detector is fantastic for any one that is on the road a lot. It can actually save you money if you are a speeder. It can warn you fast about a patrol officer in the area where you may be. It will be your best friend.
This radar detector works wonderfully in all types of terrain. Mountains, Valley's, City and country. Most detectors will beep like crazy while you are travelig around city's givig you false alerts. This unit is the most accurate unitb that I have ever used. Worth the money. I borrowed a friends and now will save up to purchase my own. A must have for seasoned travelers!
I purchased this dectector about 4 years ago. I've loved almost every minute of it's use ever since. I will definately purchase another one when this one is worn out!
The Escort Passport 8500 Radar Detector sounds like a pretty good one. Although its alittle spendy.
