EDITOR'S CHOICE PREMIUM RADAR

Car & Vehicle Electronics

Escort Redline 360c Radar Detector

★★★★★ 4.7/5 · 1,820 owner reviews

The Escort Redline 360c is the premium long-range radar detector for serious drivers who want maximum detection range. The dual antenna design provides 360-degree threat coverage, the GPS-based false-alert lockout learns to ignore stationary radar (automatic doors, garage sensors), the Drive Smarter app shares real-time alerts from other Escort users, the integrated Bluetooth enables app pairing, and the Wi-Fi update keeps firmware current. The trade is real money compared to entry-level detectors and a learning curve for the app integration.

+Pros: Dual antenna 360-degree coverage · GPS-based false-alert lockout · Drive Smarter app crowdsourced alerts

−Cons: $649 is real money · App learning curve

Garmin DriveSmart 66 6-inch Car GPS Navigator

★★★★★ 4.6/5 · 8,420 owner reviews

The Garmin DriveSmart 66 is the dedicated 6-inch car GPS that still beats phone navigation for serious driving. The lifetime maps cover 49 countries with quarterly updates, the bright 6-inch capacitive display is readable in direct sunlight, the Bluetooth hands-free calling works without phone setup, the voice-activated navigation eliminates touch interaction while driving, and the dedicated GPS receiver works without cellular coverage. The trade is real money compared to free phone GPS apps and the additional dashboard mounting required.

+Pros: Lifetime maps with quarterly updates · 6-inch capacitive sunlight-readable display · Bluetooth hands-free calling

−Cons: $229 is real money vs free phone GPS · Dashboard mounting required
