Chicago speed camera vs Passport iQ radar detector - Gompers Park  4222 W. Foster Ave

Wanted to see how my Passport iQ radar detector would handle the 3D radar of these new speed cameras.  Also, bumped into an NBC Channel 5 news reporter and her cameraman, but didn't want to be interviewed.

I updated my Passport iQ radar detector database this morning, the speed camera locations are in the database, but the radar doesn't kick in until you are practically on top of the speed camera.  Yesterday as I was driving east on Foster Ave., the radar kicked in as I was approaching the camera, but only about 50 feet away.  So, radar detectors are useless, you need to know where these are.
