When I use it in Colorado, it's a joke. I think I'm the only person that uses it so the benefit isn't there.

I had the Escort 8500 years ago but ended up switching to V1 and haven't regretted that decision ever since. I did update the firmware recently as well.

You can't put Waze on your flip phone.
