V1Gen2 is superior to its predecessor. Check out Vortex radar. He's pretty much the authority in testing radar detectors. For 2021 he rates the redline 360 is the best detector however it's very pricey. The V1 gen2 comes in third behind the uniden r7

I find the GPS function of the Escorts to keep things much more peaceful than the Valentine's and since Mike seems to think that GPS is pointless I'm not sure I'd go back. I know there is the app, but it's one more hassle to have to open every time.

I have x and k turned off on my Valentine because they only use Ka and laser here. Plenty quiet that way. No static false alarms, so GPS doesn't matter to me. The third party apps, particularly JBV1, are pretty sweet. Lots of features that come in handy on long trips, especially if you want to use dark mode on the detector.

The app connects in the background and you don't even need to open it or do anything once you do the initial setup |

Correct. It is a patent with Escort. However it doesn’t cover apps on smart phones. So just like being able to use the app with the valentine same thing goes with NetRadar DSP using a smart phone. You can also use GPS on that with lockouts. Most serious countermeasure enthusiast have a strong dislike for Escort.

Do you guys with the R7 mounted and mirror-tapped find it difficult to press the mute button? That's one of the biggest reasons why I stick with the original mount (on the bottom center location) with the wires hanging to the right side of the center console screen, and plugged into the cigarette lighter in the middle of the cup holders, so that my hand can easily press the mute button when needed.

Uniden DRF9 just above the center dash, powered by cigarette lighter. Very unconventional and out there, but it works.
