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.

As the name describes, U.S. Traveler is made for travelers that call the United States their home and travel to countries outside their own. The application itself is overall very simple. In opening the app, on the “Countries” tab, you are presented with a list of countries & their correlating flags. I thought the added flags next to the country names were a nice touch, especially since most people can quickly find a country based on visual representation versus textual representation. I’ve traveled from the U.S. to numerous countries – Chile, Argentina, Germany & Italy to name a few. I cannot say that I was adequately prepared for the countries I visited, but this app for sure would have helped.
