Review: Excellent little device which does what it says - but buy the magnetic dash clamp! - This is a neat, inconspicuous and good value little device which does everything claimed for it. The display is small by modern standards, but large enough to read clearly. It chirrups away on the dashboard, warning you about speed camera locations and beeping angry if you don't slow down enough. You can choose not to receive some warnings, but this would rather defeat the purpose. My wife thinks they're intrusive, but this is the woman who was told off for speeding on her own speed awareness course! The database for fixed cameras seems to be good. Where cameras work in one direction only, it doesn't give an unnecessary warning when approaching from the "safe" direction. SPECS (average speed) cameras seem to be reported simply by distance, leading to false warnings on adjoining roads. These can be reduced by reducing the warning distance from 600 to 400 meters. Warnings of known mobile speed camera locations are by their nature a bit hit and miss, but even one real warning will be enough to forgive any number of false alarms. It's unclear how useful laser protection is, as by the time it's pointed at your vehicle any warning will be too late. However, it may apparently sometimes detect scattered beams directed at other vehicles. Even that is worth having. The technology feels a little dated, but it's simple and clear, which is a welcome change. The instructions, both for the device and for downloading updates, could be better written and and actually make it seem more complicated than it is. I would strongly recommend buying the mini magnetic dashboard clamp. This is MUCH neater than the awful supplied mounting bracket, with its three windscreen suction cups.
Review: Great performance so far - Lots of critical reviews for all the speed detectors advertised, so bit the bullet, went with the majority of 5 star reviews for the Evo. So far very pleased with performance for all categories of laser, the only one not yet tested is the mobile van . I am not expecting a reliable response to this category as NONE of my expensive detectors in the past ever got this right. BUT it has proven completely reliable to warn me of known mobile detector locations I've seen in the past, so the data base is ok to my experience so far. The unit is direction of travel sensitive so that is good and I've not yet had any false warnings due to shop security lasers etc that some reviewers report. Yes the voice warning is a little high pitched but volume on level 4 of 5 is clear and just right with decent radio volume on. I have found the settings using the buttons is a bit fiddly to start but easy with practice. The unit is a discreet size on the dash and looks good. I have hard wired to car 1 and tried with the cigarette jack on car 2. Each time the ignition switches on the unit fires up with my correct settings still in place. This unit has by far the fastest satellite recognition of all the units I've had, about 15 seconds versus my old Pogo of 2 to 3 minutes. I can recommend ,and if it proves reliable over time will buy a second unit for car 2 ( Pogo stopped updating ages ago so has to go ).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the product affective in france?**
A: It has some European data but this isn't updated every week like the UK data so will not be as reliable. A better product for Europe would be the DriveSmart Alpha which has physical radar and laser detection in addition to the database, but be aware both these products are illegal in France and some other European countries.

**Q: Will this plug into a mercedes usb instead of cigarette lighter as the mercedes doesn't have one? thanks**
A: No I am afraid not. You cannot power it from the USB port, that is just for database updates. It does need a 12v socket to use I am afraid. This is the same for all the DriveSmart products.

**Q: will it work in thailand**
A: No, although the laser sensor would, it only has a database for Europe, which is the main part of the product.

**Q: I attached the evo to the windscreen mount, but it won't come apart again, however hard i pull. am i doing something wrong, or is it a permanent fix?**
A: It should pull straight out with a small amount of resistance. Might be worth sticking it to the windscreen and then trying it. I remove my evo at the end of each day and leave the bracket in place..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Struggles to get a GPS lock
*by M***E on 6 January 2022*

It struggles to get a GPS lock, which means it's either not reporting GPS based info at all or it's misreporting that you're speeding when you're not. It does detect cameras, though, so I can't complain too much. Useful for reminding people that don't knowingly speed about the odd aberration, and reducing the chance of getting unlucky. I'm not sure I'd trust it to "bomb around" relying on it to report on every camera and speed trap, if that's your intention.
