(12) A portable Global Positioning System (GPS), which may be mounted in a seven-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the system is used only for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated.

Could be interpreted?? Not by any reasonable measure which is what you would need to beat a "fix it" ticket in court. A radar detector would never meet the exceptions list in 11A or 11B or anywhere else in that section of the vehicle code.
