It's Time to Hit the Road This Summer!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Escort Radar. All opinions are 100% mine.

When it comes to fathers day weekend I always love to be able to travel to visit my own father and my father-in-law. The challenge with doing this though is that they live quite a ways apart from each other and that takes a lot of time within the car itself.

To get to visit these great men I want to be able to not only be in a car that is safe, but I want to have technology that will get me there safe too. Some of this also includes the amount of time that it takes to get there, as well as limiting the risk of getting caught on some of the speed traps that can sometimes be set up too.

I am not saying you should be speeding, but there are times when you might be going a few miles over the speed limit and because of these traps you get caught.

I was recently asked to try out some great new technology that will help you stay on top of this. The Escort Max 360 is the ultimate in radar and laser detection. Not only is this device easy to use but beyond this it works for so many other things beyond law enforcement. The detector will also detect cool surprises on the road that you might not be expecting (i.e. moose on the road, mudslide, or atmospheric phenomenon). The Escort Max 360 comes with a great suction cup that easily connects to your car and stays connected! As I was using this I found that it gave amazingly timely insights that helped me to have complete peace of mind while I was driving. I also found that the device was very fast and picked up everything, even things that I was not expecting – talk about precision!

If you are using the Escort Max 360 you also get access to Escort Live. This is a great application that you can add to your phone (for Android and IOS). This application, once installed, gives you real-time ticket protection on the road. As you are using it you will see where red light cameras, speed cameras and even speed trap locations can be found. You also can see radar and laser alerts that other drivers have noted within a 50 mile radius. This is an amazing application that really offers you complete coverage and access to information that you will not find anywhere else!

The final piece of technology I was able to try out was the Cobra JumPack. The Cobra JumPack – Tiny but Mighty is something that I was so glad to have received this as you see, as my family and I are on the road inevitably there are times when we need additional power. Whether it be for a cell phone, a gaming device or something else, having a device like the Cobra JumPack not only covers you if your car will not start, but also will cover you for small devices too. Best of all for me is that it offers a 2.4A port which I can tell you, it really charges your phone at a much higher rate than typically.

While I am on the road this weekend visiting family there will be a number of other times this summer when we will be traveling for trips and I am so glad to have found the ESCORT Max 360, ESCORT Live and Cobra JumPack. This technology offers complete coverage for a dad like me, but really for anyone that does a lot of driving these days!
