I also really like the speedo display.

Only thing is like the V1 you like to see how many cops and where they are located at...with mirror you are trying to look at two different units...
I totally agree.

I think that the interface is well thought out for what it is designed to do, but that for this ancillary display (which I don't think was its original design intent), it definitely falls short.

also I had problems with the gps mirror receiving signal.
So far, I've not had such issues. It's a funny game, to me, to see which of my two GPS-enabled devices - the 9500i or the mirror - picks up the signal first, and retains it longest.
