/ June 15, 2010my Phantom ALERT-loaded GARMIN works nicely. Caught all the red-light & speed cameras in Maryland, DC on my way home yesterday, plus the speed traps that I’m familiar with on the i395 north. I can see it saving me from a few tickets in DC and VA. Especially with those darn mobile speed cameras. They are now using unmarked Ford SUV that you cant even tell that it is a speed camera. Sleazy and underhanded…. how low will they go to issue tickets and raise revenue????
Likes; Works as advertised. I got alerts for red light cameras, speed cameras, speed traps, school zones and others. Tech support was fast, courteous and educational. They did not embarrass me or make me feel stupid :) Simple mistakes i did.
Dislikes: Alerts can be too much for school zones… but I guess i can turn off that particular POI. Also Speed traps can be old and create a false a;alert but at lest you get the warning ahead of time just in case they are there waiting. I understand its not a radar detector and it cant tell if they are actually there or not. It just warns you of all the favorite “cop” hiding places…. which is fine. I use it as a reminder to slow down in those areas.
Overall… Not bad at all … i think its a worthwhile service. Seamlessly works in the back ground while navigating just popping up with alerts to slow you down in all the right places. I believe I will continue to use it and get updates regularly. I am also eager to try the iPhone app they keep saying they will release. B++

/ June 15, 2010Nice very nice. Works on GPS and smart phones 2. If you hate tickets this is a service you will like. If only I had known about it a while back. A few months ago I got a $200 ticket from a speed camera and I was pissed to say the least. My friend told me about phantom alert and showed me how it works on his garmin. We drove past the spot where I got the ticket and guess what… his GPS went off alerting us to the location even before we could see it. Well it made it clear to me that if I had had phantom on my garmin that day I just might have avoided that $200 ticket. I guess better late than never. Get it before you get a ticket. Learn from me
Pros: Also works on Android phones. downloads were easy. Updates are also easy. Clear tutorial and responsive customer service. Lots of types of POIs red lights, speed cams, rr crossings, schools, DUI spots and of course speed traps.
Cons: need more people to be involved. Need to come out with an app for windows mobile.
