  • Summary: Just okay!
  • Comment: Living in the Washington, DC area and using back roads for short cuts, I needed a device of this nature since 1. going 30 miles per hour is impossible, and 2. the D.C. area has a speed camera/red light camera at most intersections now. It's an okay overall tool. It does identify speed cameras, some speed traps. The most irritating ones that it responds to are the mobile locations, because those locations beep constantly, and are usually outdated. Also if you are on the Daytona 500 (the beltway), I ignore most of those beeps because they are inaccurate. This device is most effective on back roads, or main roadways; not the highway, beltway.

    If you do a direct installation, it is difficult, and customer service is not helpful.

  • Summary: the best thing ever
  • Comment: my Phantom ALERT-loaded GARMIN works nicely. Caught all the red-light & speed cameras in Maryland, DC on my way home yesterday, plus the speed traps that I'm familiar with on the i395 north. I can see it saving me from a few tickets in DC and VA. Especially with those darn mobile speed cameras. They are now using unmarked Ford SUV that you cant even tell that it is a speed camera. Sleazy and underhanded.... how low will they go to issue tickets and raise revenue????



    Likes; Works as advertised. I got alerts for red light cameras, speed cameras, speed traps, school zones and others. Tech support was fast, courteous and educational. They did not embarrass me or make me feel stupid :) Simple mistakes i did.

    Dislikes: Alerts can be too much for school zones... but I guess i can turn off that particular POI. Also Speed traps can be old and create a false a;alert but at lest you get the warning ahead of time just in case they are there waiting. I understand its not a radar detector and it cant tell if they are actually there or not. It just warns you of all the favorite "cop" hiding places.... which is fine. I use it as a reminder to slow down in those areas.



    Overall... Not bad at all ... i think its a worthwhile service. Seamlessly works in the back ground while navigating just popping up with alerts to slow you down in all the right places. I believe I will continue to use it and get updates regularly. I am also eager to try the iPhone app they keep saying they will release. B++

  • Summary: Not a good choice for older Garmins
  • Comment: I have an older Garmin that I bought years ago. I purchased the Phantom ALERT after being stopped for speeding in an town that I was not familiar with, which had a 25mph speed limit that I was not aware of.

    I travel frequently and have found the Garmin to be a great help. When I heard about the Phantom Alert, I thought what a great idea! I'll get that and next time I'm in a small town that I'm not familiar with, I'll get an alert on my GPS to warn me about red light cameras and speed traps.

    While the software was very easy to install (and the POI's are on my Garmin), I have yet to hear the first alert when driving near a school zone or an area where I know there are red light cameras. Someone told me that this alert thing only works with the newer GPS systems... if this is so, then Phantom ALERT should have that information posted in the advertisement. If I had known, I would not have spent the money because as of now it has done me no good.

    It's an excellent idea and I can see where it could be VERY useful for folks who travel, which is why I bought it. However, unless I can figure out how to get the alerts to actually alert me, it was a waste of money. I'm hoping the new(er) versions of the GPS systems COME with these alerts and notify drivers of speed limits.

    The Phantom Alert arrived when promised. It was a plastic card packed in a box, instructions and key code was on the card so that part was easy. It just has not done what I expected.

  • Summary: works very nice
  • Comment: Nice very nice. Works on GPS and smart phones 2. If you hate tickets this is a service you will like. If only I had known about it a while back. A few months ago I got a $200 ticket from a speed camera and I was pissed to say the least. My friend told me about phantom alert and showed me how it works on his garmin. We drove past the spot where I got the ticket and guess what... his GPS went off alerting us to the location even before we could see it. Well it made it clear to me that if I had had phantom on my garmin that day I just might have avoided that $200 ticket. I guess better late than never. Get it before you get a ticket. Learn from me

    Pros: Also works on Android phones. downloads were easy. Updates are also easy. Clear tutorial and responsive customer service. Lots of types of POIs red lights, speed cams, rr crossings, schools, DUI spots and of course speed traps.
    Cons: need more people to be involved. Need to come out with an app for windows mobile.

    A+++ This is my second purchase. I am upgraded from the monthly to the lifetime for $100. I recon it has already paid for itself when it saved me from a few tickets in DC and Florida. DC is crazy with the speed cameras and well Florida... feels like they got speed traps every other mile. Luckily the guys at phantom akert have done a good job marking the spots. I now trust my GPS. Every time I get an alert I just slow down and wait to see what's coming up. It's nice to get the alerts just in case there is an ambush waiting for you around the bend or over the hill. Very valuable service and I will definitely continue to use. I drive for a living and I need to keep my license clean. I have had phantom alert on both my garmin and tomtom and so far its been mostly accurate with a few false alerts. Over all I am satisfied with database and its accuracy. Customer service has also been helpful getting voice alerts on my systems. They seem to know what they are doing and I also like the fact they use, us, the users to generate and correct the database. I myself have reported a few speed traps that I know off and edited a bunch of false locations. I like the fact that they allow you to contribute and correct errors. I have recommend it to everyone I know who owns a garmin or a tomtom. I downloaded it for my wife, kids and in-laws. You can do that if you have the life time plan.



    Good luck and keep up the good work. Guys like me rely on you.
