Ok, what's the best radar detector?

Waze + Escort Max 360 = Escargot App

 

I use this app to tie everything together in realtime. Better than Escort Live since Waze has wider adoption. This combo has helped me between LA>SF>Portland and Vegas, the only false alerts are parking sensors, so I turned that band off. Cops indicated on other bands at great distance or from Waze when it was instant-on, so it was pretty good. Bad reviews often come from users that expect a detector to self-configure.

 

A poorly set up unit is the achille's heel.

 

Since we lost Radar Roy, the community has not been as active. I use RD Forums' maps to determine what bands to use.

 

Where you live and drive will have a lot to do with set-up.

 

All told, after V1s and 360's, Waze beats them all... when you have connectivity and when users report cops. I came over Mt Shasta and was warned a cop was there, radar said nothing until I passed him, then he lit me up, but by then I slowed down.
