[QUOTE="Sitdown, post: 1241485, member: 8674"] For daily city use, i'd recommend any of the GPS escorts. I've run the 9500ix, max, max2, max360, and (3) revisions of the Valentine1 before those (and concurrenlty w/ the 9500ix & Max1 to compare). Overall, the V1 does has the best distance, but imo the escorts GPS lockout of false alarms and redlight/speedcam database negates any V1 distance superiority. The escorts still provide more than adequate distance w/o driving you/family crazy with false alarms. You will still get false notices these days with any detector especially with new sensor/adaptive cruise technology, but any alerts that you can minimize will add to your sanity. Playing devils advocate, V1 does offer some newer features that weren't avail when I owned them. K1 fighter is supposed to help reduce alerts. Also they have a OBD adapter that you set a MPH threshold and will reduce alerts to near mute volume levels when under that set speed. I saw this as a great option, but would continually need to adjust it between residental/city/highway etc, which i would unlikely do. ****** does also have a threshold option to notify you when you go over a set mph. If you run the live remote beside the steering wheel, you have discrete easy reach to mute button or to kill the power without somoee behind you noting you reach up to the device. This Live remote adds bluetooth functionality (****** live app/database/etc) to the older devices, but i like it simply for the remote functionality. I.e. the max 2 is simply the max1 with bluetooth built into it for the live app. V1 offers a similar remotes as well, but no bluetooth functionality. They also look to have added a similar app more recently, but likley not anywhere near the users on the ****** network In all the years ive really only used the live app a few times. Theyre basically trying to create a waze like network. On a daily basis who wants to have to open all these apps or change settings etc just to run to store. The new 360C could prove to be very functional in this case. If your truck/car has wifi, it will automatically update its firmware and redlight camera/speed camera data bases.
