I don't like the Speedo in my '07. Numbers to close together. I use the GPS all the time for speed.

That is new, I never knew a GPS to also be built-into a radar/laser detector. I seriously might look into getting one of those.

Since you are in he Houston area, doesn't HPD play dirty tricks with their lasers by only zapping you at the last second so that your laser detector does not have time to warn you you have been clocked?

I don't know if I'd call that dirty tricks just a matter of police learning what method stops speeders hah.

That is called "POP".

I have the Passport 9500ix. It tells you when they do it, but it is the last second.

I have to leave my GPS mounted just to be sure i know how fast i am going.

Do they make a small digital display i can mount somewhere? hate leaving my GPS on my windown all the time
You can put you dashboard in demo mode...

Hold the reset key down and then turn your ingintion key to the on position. The readout will read "Entering demo mode" and then all the lights on the dash will come on. Then just press the reset button until the "Vehicle Speed" section comes up. Its a pain but I have have used this sometimes when my eyes are tired.
