Valentine seems stuck in complacency about upgrades to this unit. Heck, it's had the same case for like 10 years. It is a good radar detector, but to be in the game today you need GPS and lidar jamming.
I hear you greg the unit looks old and antiquated, i'm pretty sure you can update it for software not looks.

But for what i paid for it 3 years ago it paid for itself on the first trip to disney world which is 4 hrs from my house.

Its the same old story for me time and time again i catch troopers hiding or comming opposite direction with their radars on.

To have the gps mode on the V1 would just further set itself apart i agree, but i feel i have an amazing radar detector imo.

Because of all the times its saved me
