Yes 3 month of free trial, after that you have to pay. No they will not withdraw money from you. You have to tell them your self that you wish to continue with the updates. Hope this helps.

After the free 90 period, yes, you have to pay for the updates. It is $39 for three years at a time. All updates are easy through the software provided and a quick software update through your USB port.

That is correct. I did not bother to update. My new city just removed them due to increase in rearend colisions at camera intersections and out of state tix are Not enforceable.

Yes. The first 3 mos are complementary. If you want ongoing service, they charge you for it. Randy

Have yet to do a second update. Have had unit only 2.5 months. But, feel if I have to buy updates say ever 6 months or so, it's cheaper than a ticket and possible rate increase on insurance! Good luck!! We love ours! Saved us many a flashing lights in rear view mirror!

Yes its a rippoff-its still better to pay the 99 bloodmoney than spend twice as much for thesame item(some tweeks that improve it but nothing substantial). I really don't want a GPS(or cell for that matter) to take pictures, be a Mp3 etc. As good as the other companies-some advantages, some disadvantages.

In my state, we don't have red light cameras. But when I have driven through Chicago, it lights all up like a Christmas tree. I bought the cord for $79, which comes with a one year "Live" subscription. It is money well spent. I have also purchased the radar and cord for two family members. They love it as well.

Amy: There should have been a standard USB cable included with your Garmin 855...unless Garmin has gotten so cheap in the past year that it doesn't even include it (I did get one with my purchase, in June 2010). However, most people these days have at least one USB cable lying about the house, which come standard with digital cameras. If you don't have one, ask some friends if they have an extra. Although the USB cable will fully charge the Nuvi from a computer, it is slow...and even worse, you cannot actually use and view your Nuvi 855 when charging on the computer (actually, I believe there IS a way, but it involves some techy trick). Better suggestion is to buy an AC Adapter, made specifically by Garmin...and it will charge the Nuvi much faster...and allow you to use (and practice with with the 855) while charging. Amazon has it for $10.29. Garmin AC Charger 010-10723-00 is now $10.29 at Amazon (I paid $14 something). I recommend buying that specific model, which is backed by 154 reviews that give it an outstanding rating. NOTE: I will admit, that since my first month with the 855, I haven't used the charger much...because I no longer need to practice with the Nuvi for extended periods...and because I am always able to rely on the car battery giving it a full charge. I also keep my 855 battery DISCONNECTED from the unit when NOT in use (because the 855 is actually ALWAYS ON, in a low power state, even when turned off)!!! That way, I am not always draining the battery when it is not in use, which is always a long period for me.

Only if you purchased the unit within the past few months. I think it's 6 months but I could be wrong. I was able to get a free update past the deadline the first year, but not now. It bites. Updates should be free since there is so much misinformation in the originial unit I had.

I do not understand your upgradable question. It is updated through the OTC web site. It does not take long for ir to be updated.

Hey man I have 9500 it works fine. Also 0 degradation. One thing to look for is the back covers arent that sturdy!

I purchased a Magellan RoadMate 5120-LMTX because it was supposed to have free lifetime map updates. It's been 7 months and I haven't been able to get any updates, and now today I'm told the update will cost $69.95. That doesn't sound free to me!

This will fit on the 9500ix, but the hole for the tab is in a different place on the 9500ix than the earlier models, so it doesn't lock in place...however, the clip holds the detector firmly against my visor, so it doesn't move around and seems secure.

JonW - To be honest, I never ended up making the purchase due to the fact that my wife gave birth to our first children, twins...and my "spare" time has all but vanished, at least for the last year. I will always have the need though so I appreciate F. Rush's insights, they are helpful as I do intend to purchase a scanner in the future. I have had my eyes on the 9000f since its release and if I were making this purchase right now that is likely the direction I would go. I wish you luck in deciding and please keep me updated with your choice and feedback.

V4 should be good for the next 3 or so years if the developer keeps his current pace..Regardless, upgrades are offered at a discount..usually 30 dollars...that is nothing for this type of vms software.Check out ipcamtalk.com, there is a blue iris user forum there.

Hello, This is pretty up to date you can update your maps anytime by hooking up to your pc. You can save yourself the extra $100. The only issue I have with it is when you are coming out of a tunnel it takes a solid minute to get back to work. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. Best of luck and trucking.

Spy Tec has mentioned back on the April 9th that they should have it for sale separately in about a week or so. http://forum.dashcamtalk.com/threads/marcus-1-or-3-anyone-got-them-in-stock-yet-shipping-to-usa.4886/#post-59201 Post # 15 here Also be aware that the GPS looks like it will not function until you install the newer firmware do to be released soon.

For the price you get the Smartcord Live module and cables, one year subscription to Escort live and the App. I think the app is free to download and use, but you will not see any live data until you login with a valid and up to date subscription. If you go to the app download page, it will describe pricing and other options for the live subscription for when your 1st 12 months are up.

Absolutely. I use it with my escort 9500ix and it's terrific. I just returned from a 1000 mile trip and it held the detector and didn't allow it to move even when I reached up to mute it. Very convenient, it allows you to quickly remove the detector and hide it; then quickly reinstall it again. Very, very, good product, can't stress how great it is!

I had mine less than 3 months. They did an "upgrade" which tendered it obsolete. I was not refunded for the one year plan that is required to operate the device. I would never recommend a Peek at any price!

Yes they do. The company is in Asia, so the update process isnt always clear due to the language issue. Not all updates work well also, even if installed properly. The hardware on the Finevu Id say is quite good. The software I feel is substandard by PC standards, but possibly on par for the dashcam/ DVR market. Either way my CR-500 bricked for no discernible reason. And Im out my entire purchase price. So I just dont run a dashcam anymore. Its a risk, but Ill wait for something cheaper or more reliable. Dashcam use is quite rare in the US.
