they have that as well, i no longer have alerts when i go past bank and walgreens, like the arrows because it give you an idea if you are fucked / where they are coming from

good, didn't know they did the whole GPS thing now. Red light cams and all that too?

I'm just saying... the arrows in the grand scheme of things don't mean shit. You're fucked or not fucked regardless of the direction they are coming from (maybe unless they are passing you in opposite direction on a divided hwy).

not really, i have numerous times when I would go to work a cop would be sitting on Lake Cook Road and it would let me know the cop was using his radar way before he got a lock on me

right, so why do you need the arrow to tell you where it was? it'll warn you regardless.

yea, everyone is going on about the arrows. If it goes off, I would slow down. Not like I need to know so I can run in the other direction.

I understand the argument that you hear the beep you slow down, but it really is convenient to know where the officer is, it's something youd need to experience to appreciate.

only good to know where he is if you plan on running...otherwise matters not. You should have your eyes on the road anyway, especially at high speeds.

You can usually tell where to cop is without using arrows as well.

Slow, gradual increase means he's parked somewhere on the side of the road.
Faster increase means he's driving towards you.
Constant beep, he's following you.

so, i was really excited that my car only had a single rattle/squeek. After listening to it for a couple days, I went searching, it was the back seat not latched, took 5 seconds to fix. The thing's built fucking solid.
