It has GPS in it so say you go by a location that shows K band several times in the same GPS coordinates, it will automatically remember said location so it won’t go off again. It also is updateable with locations people around the country have marked as speed traps or speed cameras. It’s saved my ass several times, but I have also gotten a ticket when I was doing 80 down I90 and a cop didn’t have radar and was pacing me. I couldn’t see him, then all of the sudden BAM. He told me exactly what he did. Luckily I got out of the ticket, but it happens. Even with the best detector in the world, you still need to be careful in certain areas. As radar technology evolves, so do the tactics they use to catch speeders. Agreed, to many people see radar detectors as an impenetrable force that will keep them from ever getting a ticket. Many fail to relaize that cops are trained to Pace cars, use stopwatches etc… I know someone whos gotten pulled over when his radar detector dident go off but a cop was using a stop watch and determing the speed based on time taken to get between 2 points. It will hold up in court, althought it can be a fine line at times as there can be user error. Anyways that and Laser detection everyone loves to think that oh I cant get pinned I have laser detection. Yeah well laser detects only tells you that your fucked. A laser doesnt emit a damn thing untill the cop has your car lined up and pulls the trigger, by that time your fucked --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/good-radar-detector/245540)._
