Hello.
In Spain radar detectors were forbidden a year ago, more or less, but
now they can be found in almost any electronics shop. It is forbidden to
use it, not to have it at home :)
I have never heard about any problems with GPS. In any case, I'm not
sure if there is a database of waypoints with radar locations for Spain.
Some newspapers publish the radar location of fixed stations
periodically, but here in Spain, mobile (or even moving) stations are
very common.
Best regards.
