Okay, enough with that Christmas malarkey. It's time to get down to brass tacks, and they don't get any brassier than CES. Or, as we like to call it, Christmas Part II. And a bunch of electronics news is already breaking ahead of the conference (running Jan. 7-10 in good ol' Las Vegas) to get us ready for the main course.
First up: prepare to put the Uniden MapTrax GPS up alongside the likes of Garmin, Magellan, and TomTom. It's okay if you haven't heard of a Uniden making a GPS before, because they've only recently gotten into the game. Along with phones and CB products and scanners, what they're really known for are top quality cop-foiling radar detectors, and some genius has decided that those are two great tastes that naturally go together. They're set to become the first GPS with built-in radar detection, and the official announcement will happen at CES.
Uniden currently has three MapTrax GPS models on the market (the pic's their GPS402 with a 4" touchscreen), and there's nothing specific on which ones will get the radar detecting upgrade, or even if it'll become a brand standard. We also don't know how it will flag you about that smokey on your tail, but just so long as it does, we're sold. We'll even put a SquareTrade GPS warranty on it with optional Accidental Damage coverage if you want to buy one with all the money you'll be saving by not getting speeding tickets.
