While I have a different model, Waze needs someone to enter there is a cop.
Basically Waze is most useful for laser and Radar detectors for Active radar.
IMHO its a must. 1 ticket saved saved = the cost of detector.

During the day, not needed as much.
 But at night it's a must, you can't see the cops.
 And being that the roads are empty there's noone to report on waze, so driving on the New York State Thruway or any highway, the cop can zap anyone without you knowing he was there.

 Now even during the day, let's say for example you were the very first person to be speeding after he parked his car in the bushes, your going to be his karbon.

 Now I don't know the quality of the one posted, but if you are buying one, make sure it's not a cheap junk, as the cheap ones will beep for every nonsense, whether it being a sensor from cars, as they all have now lane assist and other radar detectors.

 But yes definitely a solid investment for one who owns a vehicle and a dash cam is a must!

+1 important to add that there is a lot of lazer out there that a radar Detector wont work for even if labled lazer detector.

That's true, even the most expensive ones still won't pick up everything and will still make mistakes.
   I heard the Valentine is very good.
 Besides for the escort being great as well

If the trueway is empty  and cop is shooting, this will wont help you since by the time this detector detects the laser that cop already scanned you

Just to understand your statement, why would It make a difference if the thruway is empty vs it being packed with people? What difference in regards to the radar gun?

Cuz if it's full the cop might get someone else car first but when its empty he shoots and since you the only one on the road it will shoot at your car

Well not exactly, the radar detectors are there to detect a radar being shot at your car, hence the range of the radar detector I suppose is working with a much longer ranch to give you a warning, vs the actual gun the officer is using to shoot at the vehicles.

 Besides for the escort being great as well

The R7 is currently the best dash mount radar on the market. You can read https://www.vortexradar.com/best-radar-detectors/
Everyone has their own needs but overall the R7 is the way to go. This site referenced is the DD for Radars with all nitty gritty testing and details.

Good means, filtering false threats, stealth  and most importantly range.

The valentine was out of stock for a year +, today was literally the first day it's back In stock with a v.2.

The R7 picks up all radar, but not good at lazer.

In general if a radar Detector, detects lazer, ur toast.
You need a jammer to first shift/jam the hit and then you kill your jammer so cop can get a good reading.

If the trueway is empty  and cop is shooting, this will wont help you since by the time this detector detects the laser that cop already scanned you

A detector detects radar at times from a mile+ away before the cops radar gun can get a good reading, think of it like smelling food before you get into the kitchen.

A radar gun does not help for lazer but at night cops usually dont usally lazer in low traffic, especially in areas such as the thruway where there are not many cars and can take some time for a single car to pass. Just imagine holding a gun in your hand and looking thru its scope waiting for that one car that'll pass in 20 minutes.
Radar sits and does the work  on  it's own.

Lazer by day can be an issue, but consider that using lazer requires a being in a stationary position which will usually be reported on waze in no time. Also, in some areas cops dont even have lazer. You can familiarize with the areas you drive In  to see what cops use., or read some radar forum's.

Well not exactly, the radar detectors are there to detect a radar being shot at your car, hence the range of the radar detector I suppose is working with a much longer ranch to give you a warning, vs the actual gun the officer is using to shoot at the vehicles.
Yes and No
As described above, if your detector can pick up the signal then the cops radar can reach your car but not necessarily get a reading. Your only smelling because its reaching you.


You usally detect a bounce off something or a far week signal before the cop has a direct line of sight catch.

If you go on youtube you can watch a few demos and you'll get a good idea of how it works.
