Apparently it might work with some other GPS systems also like the Tom Tom and Magellan, maybe others...

i know what you mean, the suburbs are 10 times worse, i personally hate wood dale, they are really bored there, if you go down irving park you'll see at least 4-5 popos within 2 miles, i think i got 4 tickets on irving park in wood dale in 2 years, all for less than 10mph over

CPD is not too bad, in chicago you can get away with a lot of stuff as they are busier with other things, but what pisses me off is the attitude they have, it's like they think there is nothing worse than a speeding car and it's the cause of all the crime in the city, they invest all the money (not all but you know what i mean) into devices that will enable them to bust people for speeding, that's stupid, like i said if you speed to the point when you are a danger to yourself and others, that i can understand, but calling someone a criminal who's going 75-80mph when there is nobody on the hwy is IMO and all they are doing is collecting revenue for the city

Kinda hard to speed in Chicago when traffic's bad. Chicago's road is seldomly open.

Takes me longer to get to Argyle market from I90 than I90 home to Carpentersville last wednesday.
