Escort Radar gives you an iOS option for ticket avoidance

image

Escort Radar has long been the leader in Radar/Laser detection products. Two new detectors, the 9500ix and the 8500x50 not only keep that “leadership” alive, but have taken it one step further. Both units are fully compatible with a new (leaving me speechless) technology for the iPhone and android phones, called “Escort Live”. Their tagline is simple; “Social Networking for the Road”.

Before I tout the accolades of this new technology, you will have to learn about how the detectors them self can give you a safer and possibly “ticketless” ride.

Mechanics, Electricians, Plumbers, they all have tools, tools and more tools. Techies, Geeks and tinkerers need only one; The Victorinox Swiss Tool Spirit. The aforementioned tradesmen should also be outfitted with this all in one fit on the belt tool chest.

IT is my passion. I love working with computers in all aspects, from going to my favorite parts store and buying what I need to build one from scratch, to repairing what doesn’t work, to installing and reinstalling what has to be done.



Magellan tops the market again with the Roadmate App upgrade

I am prefacing this with an apology to Magellan as well as my readers. This review has been delayed at first due to weather emergencies on the east coast and then a death in my family. Thank you for your understanding.

Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer born c. 1480, and along with his crew were the first Europeans to enter the Pacific Ocean. They were also the first to successfully circumnavigate the globe. It is because of his reputation in history, that his name is put on the modern day version of compasses and astrolabesthat he might have used.
