They are good for fixed camera locations.

The are mildly useful for mobile locations (as in they tell you there may or may not be one there).

If you have one with a laser detector as used in mobiles and by plod hiding in bushes they are USELESS as by the time it detects the laser aimed at you, they've already got you.

I take your point about the laser detector and did wonder about that myself.I'd be happy with a unit that gave live updates on fixed and known mobile locations (manned or not).Better to be warned every time than not at all.As mentioned I'm looking for something that can be used in different cars.
