I do not post often, so please let me know how I did Smilie

The R7 Extreme long range Radar Detector is a top of the line Radar Detector. With built in GPS you are able to mark geographical points where you may typically encounter radar alerts. Set alerts to notify you to speed zones, speed traps, construction zones, school zones and other traffic issues as you approach. Once you mark the points the R7 will announce "user mark ahead" as you near the saved GEO point. The R7 voice notification lets user know what type of radar it is detecting (speed, red light, etc.)

Appears discontinued. This is matching the clearance price at Best Buy. Replaced by R8.

Seems to be a strong unit for urban - suburban driving. Would go with the R8 for absolute range.

3C's show the lowest has been $370. Now that it's been discontinued I'd expect even a lower price as time goes on…looks like I'll be able to justify buying one soon lol…

Thanks for the alert OP. I was waiting for the R7 price to come down a bit with the release of the R8. The features / range enhancement of the R8 is complete overkill for my purpose so I bit on this. Arguably the highest rated radar outside of the R8 release and I don't feel the R8 warrants an additional ~$300 over this. Price will probably come down lower in the near future but I'm in the market now and I feel this price is good enough as it used to be $600 MSRP.

I have the R3, got the R7 a while back, and hated it. I am still using the R3.

I have a uniden, and absolutely love this thing. however I have a lower model.

some features are overkill. I dont need to know the direction of where the radar is coming from, I AM trying to KEEP my eyes on the road.

The screen LCD isn't the same as R3, and it was difficult to see under sunlight mine died after a few weeks, and I returned it to Best Buy.

I have both R3 & R7, R7 with arrows wins hands down. When R3 alerts goes off, you slow down & look around for cop which you might not see for awhile. Now with R7 arrows if arrows point to where alert is you know where the bogey is & if you have passed him or it's behind you , you can continue along your journey more quickly. I would never have a radar without arrows ( coming from original Valentine ! previously).

I paid $420 2 years ago. This model just never seems to go lower. Probably helps that it beats everything in this price range.
