Well now there is such a device and it is the new Escort Passport IQ radar detector, GPS and more.
When I first laid hands on the Escort Passport IQ, I called it a game changer in the fact that Escort's engineers were able to make a radar detector that had the high show of the Escort 9500ix and stuff it every into a full featured dash mounted GPS that also included optional blue tooth capabilities for hands clear calling, enliven XM traffic reporting even if after that developing the capabilities for unconventional devices.
When my wife got to look the unit for the first time she commented that it was the first radar detector that she ever seen that she would be delightful in putting on her dashboard because it didn't look past a traditional radar detector.

The our examination of the Escort IQ's radar detectors play in in range and sensitivity we found that it was equivalent to further high deed radar detectors in its class such as the Escort 9500ix and the Escort 8500x50.
As far afield as its filtering abilities in filtering out those annoying every those untrue alerts, the IQ was on summit of the class tying taking into consideration the 9500ix and the 9500ci for first place due to the amalgamation of the Autolearn smart filtering capabilities found in every three detectors.
Some of the most frequently asked questions we receive in regards to the Escort Passport IQ include;
Is the IQ stealth adjacent to the radar detector detector devcies such as the Spectre and should I find activating the Ku band affect in the unit
As far and wide as stealth, no, even even if the Escort Passport IQ is stealth to the eye, it is not stealth to the RDD's such as the Spectre. If you realize steer in areas where radar detectors are illegal you can deactivate the radar detector functions even if nevertheless using the full featured GPS. However, If you require a detector that is stealth to every RDD's later I would recommend either the Escort Redline, the Escort 9500ci or the Beltronics STi.
As far-off as activating Ku band, if you steer in North America I would recommend that you depart it turned off, as there is no police agency in North America that uses Ku band.
However if you travel in Europe or extra Asian countries you then may desire to deem activating Ku band.
