All,

 

Let's just say hypothetically that I just purchased Dave Quick's 1991 Bentley Turbo R. And let's just say hypothetically that it presently lives in Bellevue, Washington and that I live in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Also, let's just say hypothetically that I want to drive the car from there to here starting Friday afternoon and arriving home Sunday night or Monday morning. Hypothetically I would have my wife joining as a second driver from Salt Lake City. Hypothetically, of course.

 

Given that hypothetical setup....

 

What is the skinny these days on radar detectors? I haven't looked in a long time, because we cannot have them in Virginia, and my long drives recently have been in a 72 year old Rolls-Royce that cruises quite nicely at 65mph, a speed where I have no concern about speeding tickets. I used to drive the 308 long distances (not so much anymore since the 3 kids don't fit in the trunk), and when I toyed with obtaining a radar detector then, I perceived the best of a consumer radar detector to be Valentine One.

 

Is that still the case?

 

I haven't done any research. And yes I can Google it, but querying a bunch of Ferrari friends that I know seems a good place to start with practical experience/opinions.

 

Does there exist a device that, given an internet connection (via WiFi, for example), can triple as a navigation system, a speed trap advisor, and a radar detector? Any ideas on what is state of the art in not only "radar/laser detection," but also additional capabilty would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

-Matt
