Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Shoutout for Valentine One - NFC

[Scott_Saidel [at] hotmail.com (Scott_Saidel]

I use both.  While waze IS good and picks up most threats, I am willing to suffer through all of the false alarms for that one real alert that makes me check my speed.

Having driven through ATL yesterday, clear day, highs in the mid 60's, driving the speed limit wasn't even achievable on the bypass.  Good brakes are a better investment...

Waze is the way to go

It's real time intelligence on a dynamic threat 

Radar detectors are no longer needed 

With the speed limit at 70 and 80 being accepted as ok,this coupled with waze in my part of the world (the  south east) captures most if not all the threats

I don't speed in urban areas 

The road surface and drivers with less than acceptable SA (situation awareness) are too numerous 

Maybe it's me since I have lived the better part of my life above .80 Mach and now I am slowing down a little 

Enjoy the holidays guys

$50 ia  bargain.  And 18 years?  Have they really been around that long?  Time flies.

I updated a couple of units over the last five years, variously around $100 +/- $25 each time depending upon the age.  Each time, they just sent a new unit.  i think there were cheaper updates on offer while retaining the old (larger) unit.  

Nowadays, the V1 is annoying difficult around the Bay Area, falsing on traffic cams and adaptive cruise controls and LED headlights, etc.  Ho hum.

I see Escort finally copied the 360 (dual antenna) format.  I might give it a try.  I noticed they (Escort) now try to sting you with a subscription fee for data updates ... such small thinking.  The world is moving to free and $0.99 cent apps with corporations hitting billion dollar valuations ... and folks at the radar detector vendors can't figure out how to leverage a product that should be in use worldwide by millions of drivers.  Valentine tried their hand at an app, but it doesn't seem to do much and it's a bit cumbersome to set up for each short drive.  Seems to me that with Waze and Google Maps, social media for driver and traffic, navigation and avoiding speed traps, surely Escort of the big V could figure out how to latch onto every Uber driver (?) or something ... : )

 

p.s. Anyone using/happy with the new Escort 360?

Can’t resist more kudos for my V1 radar detector.  Not only has it saved me $1000’s over its 18yr life span, when it finally gave up the ghost I sent it back to Valentine for repair, and they unilaterally repaired it and shipped it back to me for the grand cost of ……. $0.00  !!

 

Now that is customer service!  And a great product to boot….
