This review is from: Whistler Rlc-100 Red Light-speed Camera Detector (Electronics) The Whistler RLC-100 Red Light/Speed Camera Detector comes with one year of free updates. After one year if you want to continue updating there is an annual fee but I couldn't find any mention of it on the Whistler web site. I finally called their 800 number to learn that the fee is $19.95 per year. Sounds rather expensive for such limited info. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Performs okay, but is it really necessary?, By This review is from: Whistler Rlc-100 Red Light-speed Camera Detector (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) This is a red light/speed camera alert device only. There are no radar/laser detection capabilities. This doesn't "detect" any enforcement devices, it uses GPS with an on-board database to warn of known red light/speed camera locations. The unit is small and comes with a power adapter which houses the on/off switch. When you power the unit on, you are greeted by a female voice instructing you to fasten your seat belt. There is then a minor pause while the GPS acquires a signal and announces when the unit is ready. The display is simply LED characters, similar to a clock radio. The simple display is not very intuitive because it's all alpha-numeric codes, so you will need the manual if you wish to change any settings. There is also a button on the top that allows you to manually enter any camera locations that are not in the database. The device ships with dashboard mounts (including a circular self-sticking dash magnet which enables you to simply sit the device...Read more 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:  TomTom's red light database is better, By This review is from: Whistler Rlc-100 Red Light-speed Camera Detector (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) This device compares your location to a database of red light and speed cameras, warning you when you approach one. It's isn't a radar or laser detector. Sounds useful, but in practice this device is woefully inadequate.
1. For ~$70 on Amazon, you can buy a TomTom ONE which not only provides directions but also has a red light camera database available. This $140 device provides half the functionality for twice the price. 2. The database is not up to date. Driving through San Rafael (CA), it triggers every few minutes, often on intersections with no cameras. 3. You get warned if approaching a camera, regardless of whether it's on the same road or not. For example, if you're driving on the highway and there's a camera on a side road, it's triggers an alert - the TomTom only warns you if you are going to physically pass a camera. 4. The design and interface is like a 1970s alarm clock or digital watch. There's nothing intuitive about...Read more |
