Default Radar Scanner & PPC

Does anyone know if there is a software/hardware gizmo that works with a PPC for a radar scanner from the piggly wiggles?

I think we need a LITTLE more info before we can answer that one.

'Cause now I'm thinking of piglets being pulled over for going over the limit.

Or Pony99CA for that matter.

(If you mean "cops" -- incidentally, that term is not used in the Northeast US, at least -- I've not heard of any interfaceable radio scanners. But maybe Pony has. :P)

It SO messes with my head to see a pig and think "Pony". But that's off-topic. I think. Maybe.

Back to the original poster - do you mean Piggly Wiggly, the store? Or were you referring to police using the "pig" epithet?

Not quite, as there are grocery stores called Piggly Wiggly.

But anyway - not that *I've* heard of, and I don't believe we've ever covered anything like that here.

No, there is no such app, but if you use Tom Tom Navigator with GPS then there is a free add on called CheckPOIint which will warn you of approaching "points of interest". There is a database of fixed speed trap locations in the UK that you can load up, I don't know if you guys use fixed speed cameras in the US. I think that's the closest thing to what you are after.
