Giving you
yet another venue to throw down your hard-earned dollars instead of just
taking it easy and obeying traffic laws while motoring, Cheetah has introduced a GPSMirror that can detect just about anything you'd need to know about whilst cruising down the highway. Sporting a SiRF Star III GPS receiver, anti-glare coating, and the ability to divulge alerts via voice, visuals, or frighteningly loud sounds, this rear view mirror replacement purportedly
keeps you informed of upcoming
speed cameras of all varieties, radar / laser detectors, and accident zones. Additionally, the device can even display your speed from behind the mirrored glass in case the speedometer in your '72 Beetle has been pleasantly perched on zero for the past decade. The unit supposedly plays nice with your current radar / laser detector, and can relay data via its aural abilities to slow you down. Speedsters can pick up the GPSMirror now for £199.99 ($395), and thanks to the PC-based interface and internet database downloads, there are no monthly fees for its handy services.

Wow! Amazing
No homelink option? Worthless.
No monthly fees would make this an incredibly nice deal. I'd be a little concerned that it might not cover everything and it would just give a false sense of security though. That would be my concern with any of the GPS devices though.

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.
Doesn't detect anything... just uses the GPS to find an entry in a prob-not-very-accurate database.
