Unlike traditional radar detectors, the Beltronics GT-7 Radar Detector is outfitted with [GPS technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-speed-test) to help deter false alarms. The device works by using GPS to learn your daily routes and provide complete accuracy when a radar gun is tracking your vehicle.

The Beltronics GT-7 Radar Detector is outfitted with connectivity to the Defender Database, which allows access to thousands of speed and [red light camera locations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/road-safety-device). The device will warn you to play it safe in these areas to ensure you don't inadvertently break the law.

The discreet design of the Beltronics GT-7 Radar Detector enables it to be placed in a vehicle using the [suction cup mount](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdefinition-dash-cam). Connecting to the accompanying app will provide additional support for users of the device.
