For those that don't know, the Escort Passport 9500i (and now the 9500ci) model has integrated GPS that helps filter out false alerts by registering obvious false alerts. It does this in one of two ways:
1) it is user programmable, so if you drive by CVS every day and know that you detect X band there, you can hit a button and the detector will know from there on out not to report that band in that location.
2) If the detector picks up the same alert in the same location three times, and notes that you didn't slow down for any of them, it automatically registers it as a false alert and acts as if you had manually programed it in.

It definitely sounds that documentation is going to be made a lot better, especially since they are now expecting most people to do the install themselves. Of course, they are saying NOW that they are going to include a DVD, but we'll see what REALLY comes with once the first packages are sent out (and of course, I will keep everyone updated!)
