This review is from: Whistler RLC-250 Red Light & Speed Camera Detector (Electronics)
Slick looking gadget that provides graphic visual and audible warnings of upcoming speed and red light cameras. For some reason, the voice module sounds like a woman with a English accent. It also warns you when you are travelling 10 miles or more over the posted speed and it recommends you take a rest break after you have driven 2 hours non-stop. When vehicle is in motion and there are no warnings, it gives a graphic representation that roughly mimics driving through a cityscape with buildings passing on either side. It also displays the current time and your current speed. You do need to have a Windows computer for purposes of downloading updates to the database (thus the four stars and not five).

Free updates for a year. Then how much do the updates cost? I just bought a Garmin with lifetime updates and it tells me where the redlight cameras are. It also tells me when I am speeding. But best of all I don't have to stop and ask for directions.
