About Escargot Drive

Escargot Drive is a 3-rd party companion application for Bluetooth-enabled ESCORT and Beltronics radar detectors. Escargot Drive receives radar alerts from supported detectors, shows them on a map, manages radar detector settings, and provides situational metrics to radar detectors (e.g. current speed).

Escargot Drive is also capable of tracking real-time location events of your choice (for example, accidents, weather conditions, police speed traps, traffic jams, delivery addresses) and displaying event data live on supported radar detectors' screens.

You need to set up your own alerts web service, or use an alert service provided by somebody else to receive and display location alerts in Escargot Drive. The application allows flexible integration with RESTful JSON web services that support HTTP GET or POST requests.

Permissions:
Escargot Drive needs: fine location, network, and bluetooth permissions. All other requested permissions are not used by the application, they are required for Google Maps to function properly.

*** Note that current version does not support Bluetooth LE, only regular Bluetooth is supported. The upcoming update will add Bluetooth LE support ***

I thought it uses Waze with live radar detectors, now they are saying in order to get live updates you need to get you feed from another source, what source should I pull from? I figured if I am paying then you should have that done! So basically your not using Waze nor are you getting others community radar detectors signal sharing unless you get ress feed? Am I getting this correct

Good app, but needs some work on BT connectivity. My Escort X80 pairs fine with my galaxy s8+, but PSL info drops every few seconds, which becomes annoying quickly. Otherwise, works as promised.

It freezes up my galaxy s7 in landscape mode. Screen goes black after a few min or so of use

W70%
by W####:

This does connect to the newest max 360, you have to put it in debug mode and manually select the radar detector.

LG v20 everything works as it should.

by Z####:

Really liked the alerts preset! I wish there was a more obvious way to set up the PSL requests, I lurked around and could not find any easy copypaste solutions. Apparently, there is just no OSM coverage in my area. I can recommend looking into the way AutoMate/Velociraptor have solved that problem.

When are you going to update the app to support BLE. I have already purchased it to help support you in hopes of the update. It is worthless to me until you do.All of the new Smart Cords must have it. When can we expect the update to be released? Please Reply

Does not link to New Escort Max 360. Complete waste of money. Will update review if future updates fix the issue

Please update for escort ix not finding Bluetooth just screen dims when I press Bluetooth button

The app will not detect the New Max 360. Hopefully this will be corrected in an update.

Won't connect with Max 360 serial number starting with "85". Keeps showing "detector not connected". Escort live connects no problem. Just spoke to Escort support and was told starting with this s/n the units have a new "HE" bluetooth module. App needs an update.

B70%
by B####:

Good in theory but even though I setup to integrate with WAZE (probably no less than 20 times) to get alerts it does NOT work. Shouldn't be charging for this (version 1.9) which I'd classify as pre-beta in my books.

Does not work with escort redline smart cord live. Can you please fix it so it can thank you.

Amazing app

G70%
by G####:

Great idea and amazing app for the Escort users. Only 2 stars for now until the app is compatible with the Bluetooth cords. App only works with detectors that have built in Bluetooth.

C70%
by C####:

I have to hand it to the devs, they're quick on feedback and updates. After several updates, Bluetooth is finally working correctly. I really like the app. It's pretty much what Escort Live should be. The fact that it displays arrows from my MAX360 is great! I would like to see a more expansive database of speed limits incorporated, however, as currently none of the roads around me in Georgia (near Savannah) have their speed limit display on the app, and thus not on the detector. 4.5 stars, really.

Escargot has possibilities it works fairly well with escort passport max but not with the max 360 which would be thhe only reason I would purchase. When that compatibility is complete will reevaluate

T70%
by T####:

I followed all the settings on RD forum on two different phones I spent way too much time trying to make it work I am running the Max 360. Doesn't work! Don't waste your time or $$.

Can't get alerts to show on map have looked over YouTube and Internet items turn yellow not green

Works as advertised

Q70%
by Q####:

I really like this app! I do wish you could get the map to display in full landscape mode. Also, a way to clear the Alert History, can't seem to clear them.

by T####:

May I suggest adding option on supplying custom icons for the alerts? :)

A70%
by A####:

works great with my passport Max

T70%
by T####:

There are couple of options annoying too tho. It needs to have option to show alerts on the road you driving insteads of a mile round radius. Also need a simple way to import the settings for waze, maybe comeup with import and export of settings and also need that speed limit indicator some how.

by G####:

Be aware because it does not connect to a Max2. I contacted them and they said it was my BT cord. I don't have a cord. It's a MAX2!

In Los Angeles CA, speed limits did not display once. Not even on a freeway

Z70%

Works great with my Max360; wish EL! had the same features (like the range diameter and direction on the map, including the ability to disable "north up").

C70%
by C####:

Great effort. I'd really love to see this become the YaV1 for non-V1 detectors. I use this with an Escort Smartradar. It could use some sound-notification options and hopefully, it will start working with Escort Live Smartcord detectors pretty soon (it doesn't now). I'll be buying a Redline for sure if this app does the latter. EDIT: Apparently, this now works on Live Smartcord equipped detectors! Awesome.

I can not get to work with escort smart cord and MAX. It will connect and then immediately disconnect. Is this the same for everyone else and this cord ?

Z70%
by Z####:

Well it is getting better. I still can't connect to a Max2 but now it isn't crashing . I will up the stars if the app gets fixed. The Bluetooth is not working with the Max2. Please fix this issue because it looks to be a great app.
