SpotLocks™ GPS location based lockouts and manual Points of Interest Creation.
Automatic, intelligent location based learning / unlearning of potential false alerts (you have the ability to turn this feature on or off).
Discrete signal locking™ - helps prevent locking out real police radar in close frequency range to the SpotLock™ frequency.
Frequency drift compensation™ - helps compensate for changes of the location's frequency drifting up and down over time at the saved location.
BSM guard™ - helps to keep non-stationary vehicle BSM/CAS signals from polluting the SpotLock™ stationary location database.
Continuous location tuning - Whether a SpotLock™ is actively locked or learning, the SpotLock™ system will continue to learn and tune itself over time to better handle future encounters.
Manual creation/deletion of SpotLocks™ - Manually create/delete SpotLocks™ by easily tapping a graphical 'lock' image on your phone screen if desired.
The SpotLocks™ system is optimized for specifically for the R4.
Backup and Restore your SpotLocks using your iCloud drive. Easily transfer them to other platforms (V1, R8, DS1) by "restoring" your backup to whichever platform you want.
Create Points of Interest (POI), so you can be alerted to unique locations you deem important in the areas you travel. Choose from several built in POI or create custom POIs with your own display title, custom voice phrase, distance to alert parameters and speed to alert parameters.
