The Escort Live app has been updated with new features to provide drivers with real-time alerts and information to help them avoid traffic enforcement. The app has a new user interface that is optimized to reduce driver distraction while providing relevant driving alerts and information. The enhanced Map View includes direction up mode, embedded traffic, night mode, and auto-zoom based on vehicle speed for an improved driving experience. Pop-Up Alerts mirror the detector display to clearly warn of upcoming threats while simultaneously providing contextual information in the Map View. The new CloudSource™ Platform intelligently aggregates and displays information from multiple sources, ensuring driver alerts are always relevant, timely and accurate. Car Finder makes it easy to find your vehicle, even in the most confusing parking lots.<br/><br/>ESCORT Live is the world’s most advanced real-time radar and laser ticket protection community, giving drivers unprecedented warning of what lies on the road ahead. The app offers community-based alerts to upcoming ‘Police Spotted’ speed traps, accidents, work zones, road hazards, detours, and traffic jams. It also integrates with compatible ESCORT and Beltronics products to control settings and present alert information. Premium features include Radar Relay, Posted Speed Limits displayed both in the app and on your connected detector, and two convenient levels of subscription service – $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year.<br/><br/>Radar detectors are legal in 49 states (only Virginia prohibits their use). More than 42 million drivers receive a speeding ticket in the United States each year – about one in every five drivers. The average speeding ticket costs $150 and increases insurance premiums by $900 over a 3 year period. The ESCORT Live and Cobra iRadar Communities have combined, effectively doubling the number of users contributing radar/laser data and user reports. The Escort Live app is designed to help drivers avoid traffic enforcement and drive smarter.
