Run those with Waze and it is fantastic. If I hop in one of my cars that has the V1's in them I never even turn them on as they are incredibly annoying with the false alarms from other cars, door openers, etc. The V1's go off continually. The Escort's only go off when there is a real threat. Thought that I would miss the directional arrows, but I don't.
This. V1 is annoying. That, and the power cord and accessories are junk on V1- break easily.

I currently own a Whistler, CR90- it's OK, but forgets it's preferences constantly, and is kind of gimmicky and, well cheap. Gonna try a Escort next.
