Road buddies
Need to plan the best route and dodge speed traps along the way? Try these GPS devices and radar detectors.
The road warrior's best friends
I'm the CEO of Wetpaint.com, a Seattle startup that lets anyone create a fan site for free. My job often has me driving around an unfamiliar city, in a rush to make my next appointment. To save time - and my sanity - I don't go anywhere without a GPS route planner and a radar detector to warn me of potential speed traps.

Currently my go-to road warrior gadgets are the Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS and the Escort Passport 8500 X50 radar detector. Because I'm always on the lookout for the next best thing, I decided to give two popular rival products a spin. So on my latest road trip, I tested the Magellan Maestro 4370 GPS and the Valentine One radar detector.
