new Cobra GPS Radar Detectors with Aura database

Jan 7, 2009 CES 2009, cobra, gps navigation, radar detector

Cobra today introduced their new Advanced Universal Road Alert (AURA) database that stores GPS coordinates of speed and red-light cameras and driving hazards. The most annoying thing about these devices are of course false positives and here is how Cobra makes sure their alerts are accurate:

…by communicating directly with municipal police departments, traffic bureaus, state transportation agencies and proprietary data partners to guarantee that every single alert is accurate

There are already six AURA-ready devices offered by Cobra. Two of those are the high-end radar detectors XRS 9960G and XRS R10G. XRS 9960G and XRS R10G will cost $389 and $439 respectively and a lifetime AURA database subscription is included in that price. And if you want to add it on to your already existing, AURA-ready radar detector you can expect to pay somewhere between $209 to $339. To check their full selection go here.
