The Max2 will indeed give you false positives the first time you drive through a new area (primarily due to the Your Speed signs), but thanks to its GPS, it learns about those signs and remembers them next time.

I had difficult time with Escort Customer Service, which left me with a negative feeling.

One the speed limit fluctuated 4 times in 3 miles

It detects it around turns and on the long roads with more than enough time to react, both coming in the opposite direction or standing still

Occasionally the detector will fail to recognize a stored emitter, many times due to the fact the emitter is low quality, is old, and/or the power supply is ‘dirty’.

I doubt, had I been the culprit, the Escort would have provided sufficient warning time to slow down.

The Bluetooth has a hard time connecting at times.

I want the arrows, but I feel hesitant every time I remember the need to have the running app to get the speed limit reading on the screen, and even worse knowing that the displayed speed might not be right, which could cost me a ticket if I rely on it!!!I still have the

Several times, the Laser interceptor alarmed but this escort was silent

I deducted 2 stars for this--I curse under my breath every time I drive a while and then notice the Max is off

However, there are multiple cases of people getting scatter from when an LEO was indeed targeting other cars and their unit detected the laser, which gave them enough time to slow down

The detector is okay but fails to give you enough time between alert and contact.

I've been driving quite a bit, including many 8+ hour trips across the state, which should give me adequate drive time to use this radar detector

Even though THIS is similar to what the Escort does after passing a local False 3 times

Worked in car and with IPhone app but every time I plugged it into computer it said low voltage and shut off

Does not give you enough time to react

I like the GPS and red-light camera database as well as the real-time exchange of radar speed-traps between users

but it would 'explode' every time I went to flip the lever to create the suction to adhere it to the glass

It seems my Max 2 has a better time connecting and staying connected then my original Max and the Live smart cord.6

KA alerts are well in advance of the emitting source for ample time to check speed

Instead it has become more annoying that I have to turn on the App each time to work this unit properly

I have had this unit for about a month now, so I feel like I've had enough time to get a good feel for it.

and it picked up a hidden cruiser in more than enough time for me to react

and it'll usually let me know with good lead time, but if you drive very fast, be prepared to slow down FAST
