Regarding the updates from Escort -- they are not free. If you want to keep the speedcams, etc., updated then you need to pay for a subscription. This is a downside, IMO. The thing cost 500 dollars and they get you for a monthly fee? Not cool, but oh well. The second negative is that the woman's voice that comes on to tell you that a traffic cam is approaching scares the crap out of me sometimes.
Other than these two points, the unit is exceptional.

thats actually very smart of them, businesswise. they patented the idea of having a gps database on radar detectors so their competitors cant spit out a similar product. and whats the #1 way companies in america are making money now? by selling services. $20 for 1yr of subscriptions is hardly anything to complain about considering a redlight ticket costs upwards of $500. they also do 3 yrs for 40 dollars....which is a steal!
