Some of the interesting features of the Uniden GPS-RD

You can tag places that are known speed traps and the unit will alert you from position only.

It records short duration weak alerts. If it detects the same signal more than once, it records the position and keeps a log of "false" signal positions. The radar detector will still alert you, but it will not use sound during these encounters.

It also has some rudimentary GPS features. It has stored the position of Major citys and can give you an approximate direction, distance and time to reach. It also allows storage of user recorded points of interest, i.e. home location, work, airport, etc.

It was pretty advanced for a Detector I purchased in 2002. The main reason I purchased it was for the speed readout. None of my Porsches had very accurate speedometers, due to tire size changes. This makes the speedometer unimportant.
