The Whistler RLC-360 GPS Module Adds A Ton Of Features To The Whistler Pro-3600

 

The RLC-360 from Whistler is a global positioning system add-on module to the Pro-3600 remote installed radar detector. It's one of three add-on modules offered, and we would rank it as the second most important after the rear radar unit and in front of the add-on laser detector module. It's sold separately from the main unit but enables quite a few brand new capabilities when installed. These features will add a lot of value to your radar detector, so we recommend that you get this module.

First and foremost, the RLC-360 provides red light and speed camera alerts. Whenever you approach a red light or speed camera, the device will alert you far in advance, which should give you plenty of time to slow down. These alerts are beneficial as some of the speed cameras are extremely hard to detect and your radar detector alone may not give you adequate advanced warning. Whistler provides you with free updates to the camera locations for a year, and after your free trial expires, you can buy a subscription to keep your device updated in the future. The RLC-360 updates easily and quickly using the USB connection on the Pro-3600. The unit also enables you to manually enter as many as 1000 custom locations.

The RLC-360 module also adds a bunch of typical GPS functionality including current speed display in MPH or KPH, compass with north, south, east, and west voice prompts, an estimated trip meter, highest speed, and an odometer.

The standout features offered by this unit are the speed based configuration settings. The RLC-360 can be set up to alert when you've surpassed a specific speed, which will help you stay under your top threshold in situations where you may forget (such as going down a hill). It is possible to set up the device to go into one of the automatic quiet modes when you are driving below a particular speed. You can also have the device automatically set a specific filter mode based on your speed. These last two features will help greatly with keeping the unit quiet when you aren't speeding.

With a street price of a little under $80, we believe the RLC-360 is a good value for the functions that it offers and we don't think any Whistler Pro-3600 owner should drive without this module. If you only have enough for one of the add-on units, we'd suggest the SWRA-36 rear radar detection unit, but if you can buy both, we recommend that you seriously consider the RLC-360.
