Those arrows make all the difference in the world to me. This Escort may be the best detector ever.
Thank Goodness Santa is a forum member!

The arrows are awesome.
I'm pretty sure Mike Valentine, I think that's his name, has paid a hefty sum to keep his IP lawyers busy over the years. I think I read somewhere that he owns a 959. Surely he's been preparing for the possibility that Escort would eventually have arrows too. Perhaps he's getting a piece of Escort's revenue to license the arrow technology. All good ideas must eventually come off patent, just like Apple and rounded corners on hand-held devices.
p.s.
the whole idea of having a bulky box on your windshield seems so incredibly 1999. It should be just a little suction mounted sensor that transmits to your smartphone via Wifi-Direct. The smartphone already has a ultra powerful quad core processor, GPS, big screen, 4G LTE, etc. Why not use your phone's existing hardware to piggy back off and reduce the overall cost of the device your selling? I guess if you still carry around a flip phone then having a device that looks like an iPod from 14 years ago on your windshield is the only option.
