Does this have a voice announcement of radar detections?

It is not a human voice. It makes a noise that is impossible to ignore. When you hear the noise it will tell you what kind of radar is being used and these days it is usually laser so hit your brakes. They have to tag you twice to make it legal to ticket you. It also shows other types such as Ka, etc. It has a city setting and a highway setting.

Yes. If you go to the options menu at the top left of the screen then select settings. At the bottom of the returned settings screen select the GPS settings. Turn on any alerts you want to hear. Click on the green button with an I in the middle if you want information about what each option does.

Thank you for your question! There are multiple buttons on the hand held transmitter to emit a warning and a static correction.

The X and K bands are mostly detected from electronic doors ,it was never consistant enough to figure out a pattern,My other radar detector works very well and I can develope a pattern of where the noises or bands are coming from(its a beltronics)

Yes, It has a read out which shows the radio station frequency; however, it does not pull in very many stations clearly. Fortunately for me it pulls in the three stations that I like in Tampa and only one station in Daytona Beach. I use the mp3 player most of the time. The mp3 player is excellent considering the cost of the TomTop.

Police radars mainly use "k" & "ka" alerts. Other car radar detectors use most of the others, so I recommend checking those off the menu list as I did. In town shops with automatic doors will set of the police alerts, and if you pass them often enough, you'll recognize them. Highway driving with the police alert going off briefly with no police in front or behind might be a police car going in the other direction or hills/median concrete walls causing the signal to break up intermittently.

To the best of my knowledge, it does not detect POP. It does detect everything else. Have not tried it with WAZW. However, allother drivers who report radar in the area is communicated to you immediately. You will know the area where another drover reported a concern/radar. I recommend the radar. No problem thus far.

You get updates free for about a year if I remember right. The updates are really just red light camera and speed trap locations. They are not required for the detector to detect radar from radar guns of highway patrol units.

Yes...it does have caller announce and I believe the voice command is available if your phone has the feature.

Not that I know of. I don't think it has a radio feature. At least I haven't seen it.

No, it does not. It might say you have voice messages, but there's no setup to check them.

It does have a built in FM receiver and will receive NOAA weather info of you program the frequencies. It does not have a weather alert feature.

Yes but the alert is not really loud enough to hear from ten feet away if there is ANY background noise.

Yes the main unit has an audible alert as well as the pager. I've been quite happy with the purchase so far. My food has been coming out cooked perfectly

Yes, the detector gives different sounding codes based on the type of 'radar' being utilized. There's also a voice recorded in the unit to tell you what it is. So you'll get something like "beep, beep, beep, K-Band" or "... X-Band" or "KA-band" or "Laser Alert". It is, to my knowledge and from my experience with the device, 360 degrees of detection with the possible exception of laser. I think the laser is somewhat limited to a wide front angle and a wide rear angle. Obviously since laser is a light-based wave, the side of the car may be interfering with the device's ability to sense it. I hope this was useful.
