Seems interesting, but I would be concerned about a few things. Namely, police or insurance agencies somehow acquiring the ability to interrupt and see your GPS info, including speed. But I am just paranoid like that...
I wonder though, is it compatible with ZR3?

Agreed, only problem is, ALL of us, know where cops hang out in our local area. Its the non-local areas we need to worry about. 
Again, I think if the tech works as advertized and with time you can train the detector so that whenever it does give an alert it is most likely a cop then you will be more keen to listen to it instead of ignoring it or it being a nuisance.

What mode do you run your V1 in? Once I put mine on Logic I never went back. I rarely ever got a blip out of my V1 that wasn't a cop.

The 9500 can also count sources.
So if that supermarket on 3rd St and Crank Ave always falses with two bogus signals, you can mark the location.
If a THIRD signal pops up (as in a cop hiding in a known false alarm area) it will alert the driver.
Now with a marked speedtrap, I am curious as to what it does - does it warn the driver, or go into full alert mode? I would assume it chirps or makes some reminder noise like my GPS when approaching a revenue collection site.
Nice feature. It supposedly keeps track of your speed and will print out reports for court purposes, but I really doubt a judge will give much consideration to this device.
For the record, I'm a V-1 owner. And although I love my V-1, the addition of the GPS features and speedtraps/camera databases really get my interest.

You don't need to worry about that: it's simply not possible. GPS receivers listen to GPS signals; they don't transmit. (That's not the case with that OnStar system, of course.) HPH

Mine is running in all bogeys mode all the time. Perhaps I should try one of the L modes.
90% of the falses are just Infiniti SUV's, most of the rest are K-band door openers. Less than 1% are actual real alerts from cops.
This is in the city. When on the road trips, it sniffs out cops quite readily and falses a helluva lot less.

I can not see Mike Valentine NOT responding to this new technology quickly. I just hope they do it quick before I get the urge to own this bad boy.
Like I said, as of right now, the V1, IMHO, is still the king of the radar jungle.

Dont jump the gun. The V1 is PROVEN. Until the 9500 proves itself, its just a gimmick.
