V1 very good (as well as very expensive) in 49/50 states and the 3 Western Canada provinces, but for the rest, VA and DC in US, also if you're a trucker, the STI is the way to go
Having an RD in your vehicle doesn't in any way mean that you're a speed freak, of course it gives you a kind of superiority over the rest of the world, but mostly it allows you to know when and where the Uncle Sam/Big Brother is somewhere around you monitoring your movement while driving your own vehicle...
If you do a lot of driving, an RD (but never a Cobra) is a very good and smart investment

Any Cobra is of course a waste of money, but no way V1, STI, RX65, Passport X50...
And here is the best place to educate yourself about this very subject:
Radar detector is gonna be pretty useless in Calgary
Get a laser jammer instead
RDs perfectly legal in Alberta and mounted very low in the windshield any very good RD will alert against all laser hits... cops with laser guns target: 1) front licence plate 2) if no license plate they go for the headlights 3) if no possible reading on the first two they hit the windshield or any other reflective thing on your car... the radius of the laser beam is just 9 inches wide at 500 ft and 18 inches at 1000 ft, so you need to have your RD mounted somewhere within this radius if you want to get all laser alerts...
LJs strictly prohibited everywhere in NA and the newer laser guns can tell if a laser jammer have been activated, and very expensive as well... any sharp eye can see your LJ's heads mounted inside the front bumper grill or anywhere in the front, including when your car is parked into the supermarket lot... Laser Jammers, protection against police laser!

sweet!.. how you guys find those site? haha.. i guess i am not gettine one. Xdimsumx, i guess you dont have one in your car. rite?
no i don't use them in my car while i drive in the city, sometimes on the highway outside of the city
i know where most of them usually hide and been lucky a few times, i've never gotten a ticket by radar, only by ghost cars
and it's easy to pick out the photo radars on the side of the road especially on deerfoot
